Chapter Ninety-Six: The Dinner Party
In the evening, on the roof of Chen's Mansion, Li Bai sat cross-legged on it again, and the "Qinglian Sword Technique" was spread out in front of him by him, emitting a faint fluorescence.
Li Bai's consciousness entered the sword technique, and three stone doors appeared in front of him again, and he took a deep breath, Li Bai pushed open the first stone door with force.
"I don't know what if this time the strength has improved?"
Li Bai stood on the grassland with apprehension, and the Qingfeng appeared in his hand again, the stone tablet stood in the same position as last time, and there was only Li Bai in the whole space.
"You will have three hours to practice the moves on the stone tablet. ”
The voice of the white-clothed swordsman echoed through the space again.
"Don't practice, let's just start!"
Li Bai clenched the Qingfeng in his hand, his eyes were full of confidence.
Compared with the test of the virtual world, it is easier to break through his swordsmanship in actual combat, after today's battle, Li Bai's Qinglian sword technique has made a big breakthrough in the first weight, and I really want to know how his swordsmanship is progressing.
"Good. ”
The white-clothed swordsman did not refuse Li Bai's request, as soon as his words fell, bats appeared again at the end of the grassland, like bursts of black hurricanes coming towards him, Li Bai saw this scene, his heart was excited, and the time to test his strength had come!
"Come on!"
Li Bai began to perform the first ten moves on the stone tablet, three seconds later, a dense sword curtain appeared on Li Bai's body, at this time, the bats in the sky also followed, one by one bats hit Li Bai's sword curtain, and quickly turned into a mess of meat and mud, a round of death, the second round of more bats impacted, Li Bai frantically waved the Qingfeng in his hand, the sword flashed, and a few feet around Li Bai's body became a forbidden area of life, and any bats that wanted to impact it turned into mud.
"Squeak!"
After half a pillar of incense, most of the bats have collapsed, but they have no intention of escaping, they don't know what fear is, the more their companions die, the more they rush, and Li Bai has been completely surrounded at this time.
"It can't go on like this!"
Li Bai killed a bat that rushed into the sword curtain, and he was shocked in his heart, feeling that if he defended in a vague way, he would soon be broken through the sword curtain, and this time he would fail again.
"Offense is the best defense!"
Li Bai recalled the moves on the stone tablet, the first ten moves were the main defense, and the last ten moves were the main killing, but what if it was used upside down?
"Try it!"
Li Bai has memorized these twenty moves, and he has become more and more mature in using them, although he is not as skilled as attacking first and then defending, but it is still quite smooth, where Qing Feng draws, leaving a light cyan phantom sword qi, and a blue lotus phantom gradually formed outside the sword curtain, and any bat that touches the green lotus is twisted into scum.
"It's time!"
Li Bai's eyes opened, and Qinglian exploded, making a huge explosion, and all the bats disappeared.
"Hoo ......"
watched the sky gradually reveal a touch of fish belly white, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Bang bang. ”
"Congratulations!" The white-clothed swordsman appeared in front of Li Bai again, "You kid is good, you can think of a reverse move, but my Qinglian Sword Technique is not so easy to cultivate, and I will have to work harder in the future." ”
"It's just a little cleverness, hehe. ”
Li Bai scratched his head embarrassedly.
I don't know how many times I have died for this level before, but now that I have passed this level, I am really relieved.
The stone gate behind him slowly opened, and Li Bai didn't say a word, and continued to walk towards the second level.
"I wonder what the test will be this time?"
In front of him is an endless rice field, the rice on the rice ears are very full, this rice field can be compared with some large grain bases in the previous life, and the place where Li Bai is located is on a ridge.
"After the first stage, you have officially entered the door of my vein swordsmanship, and now it is the second test, and you also have three hours to learn the swordsmanship on the stone tablet. ”
As soon as the white-clothed swordsman finished speaking, a stone tablet rose in the rice field next to Li Bai, and this stone tablet also recorded twenty swordsmanship, and Li Bai looked at each move carefully.
"This Qinglian sword technique pays a lot of attention to both offense and defense, and the moves on each stone tablet are ten offensive and ten defensive. ”
I wonder what the advantages of this second sword technique are over the first sword technique?
Li Bai held the Qingfeng in his hand, waved it against the stone tablet, and discovered the mystery after a while.
The wind in the rice field is like a part of the Qingfeng Sword, boosting Qingfeng and making its moves more fluid.
"I see. ”
Li Bai knew that this second sword technique not only relied on the strength of his arm, but also with the help of natural wind, so that his speed greatly exceeded the first weight, the sword in his hand was like a fish, and the air was water, and the wind blowing was the undercurrent in the water.
Repeating the moves on the stone tablet over and over again, until he gradually became proficient, Li Bai gradually stopped the movements in his hand.
The wind whistled in his ears, but there was a hint of tranquility in his heart.
"Buzz. ”
Suddenly, a noisy sound suddenly came from the rice field in the distance, Li Bai opened his eyes, staring at the rice field in front of him, three hours have arrived, I don't know what challenge he is facing this time?
The locusts frantically surged in the direction of the rice fields, and began to gnaw on the ears of rice on the rice fields.
Li Bai kicked his feet and flew forward, the Qingfeng sword turned around in his hand, rolling up the air flow over the rice field, many locusts were caught in this air flow, Li Bai raised the sword in his hand, and killed it piece by piece.
But when are the locusts so numerous, how long will they be killed?
"Bang!"
The air flow dissipated, Li Bai fell to the ground, this sword slash is not a way, you have to find a good way. But as he thought about it, the locusts had eaten away at more than half of the rice fields.
"The challenge failed. ”
Li Bai was stunned in place, and fell into deep thought, if it was torn apart by air current, it would inevitably affect the rice fields below, but if the locusts were cut down one by one, with this number, the rice fields would be eaten after cutting, what should I do?
Li Bai's divine sense returned to reality again, opened his eyes, and shook his head helplessly, this first weight was not easy to pass, and this second weight gave me a problem, it seems that this Qinglian sword technique is not something that anyone can learn if they want to, but thinking about it on the other hand, if they can understand the mysteries, it will definitely be of great benefit to their swordsmanship.
"Hey, what are you doing up there?"
A loud sigh pulled Li Bai back to reality, and when he looked down, Chen Sicun, the girl, was looking up at herself.
"No, I'll just blow the wind, and the wind on this roof is pretty cool. ”
"Come down, I have something to tell you. ”
"Then I'll come down, and you will take me." Li Bai teased, and after speaking, he jumped and threw himself in the direction of Chen Sicun.
"If you want to eat Miss Ben's tofu, it's not that easy. Chen Sicun jumped nimbly and jumped onto the stone beside him.
Li Bai couldn't help but want to laugh, this little girl really couldn't bear it, she was really not afraid of falling to her death.
"Don't you have something to tell me?"
"Why, I can't talk to you if I'm fine?"
"Yes, of course. "Li Bai is embarrassed, this girl just said that she still has something.
"Li Bai, it turns out that you are here. Chen Wenyin walked over, "You girl, why are you going outside if you don't go to sleep so late?"
"Dad, my daughter will go back to her room and sleep. ”
Chen Sicun pursed his lips, stuck out his tongue angrily at Li Bai, and turned to leave.
"What's the matter with the teacher looking for me?"
Li Bai thought that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Now the lion clan is ready to move, and it is urgent to win over the barbarians, tonight I discussed with your ancestors, and decided to want to win over the buffalo clan first, the barbarians have a gentle temperament, but they were bullied by the lion clan, because of the large disparity in strength, they can only swallow their anger, if they are brought over, it is a desirable thing. ”
"Tonight's dinner in the palace, go with the teacher and invite this to the saint. ”
Outside Chen's mansion, the carriage to the palace has been waiting for a while, this is a carriage made of rosewood, the body is painted with two roaring white tigers, the so-called white tiger is the main killing, as the Taiwei Mansion is the most suitable car, Li Bai looked at this carriage, this luxury carriage in the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to the Rolls-Royce of the previous life! The two got into the car, Chen Qingqing had already been waiting on the carriage for a long time.
Chen Wenyin said, "Coachman, let's go." ”
In the imperial city, the lights were brilliant, and Chen Wenyin and the others arrived in the main hall in a short time, which was the place where the dinner was held.
"Lord Tai Wei!"
Chen Qingqing walked in the front, and there were officials greeting Chen Qingqing all the way, Chen Qingqing just nodded slightly, of course, there were many people greeting Chen Wenyin, and no one cared about Li Bai alone. Chen Qingqing took Li Bai and the others to the position closest to the throne and sat cross-legged.
"Dad, didn't we say that we would have a private meeting with the emperor first?"
Chen Wenyin looked at the dozens of high-ranking officials present, and muttered a little in his heart, Li Bai also nodded, he also thought that such a thing as uniting grass barbarism should not be publicized.
"I can't help it, the Holy One thinks that this kind of thing must be discussed with the ministers. ”
Chen Qingqing spread her hands helplessly.
On the top of the main hall, a little emperor who was about ten years old sat on the dragon chair, the innocence that should have belonged to his age could not be seen in him at all, and there was a maturity in his eyes that transcended his age.
"Chen Aiqing is here!"
Li Jiancheng saw Chen Qingqing and the others, and his face was very happy. Chen Qingqing nodded with Chen Wenyin, while Li Bai bowed down and bowed before sitting down.
All the officials have gathered, the dinner party has begun, watching the dancing girl in front of him dancing with her graceful posture, Li Bai feels more and more bored, and the only thing he likes is a pot of aging wine on this table.
It's just that for some reason, I always feel that someone is staring at me, and when I look up, Lu Zheng is sitting opposite me, staring at himself viciously, but I don't see Lu Hao's figure next to him.
It's really a narrow road, and you can see this guy everywhere.
"This person next to Chen Qing's family must be Li Bai, right?"
A childish voice sounded.
"Back to the emperor, it is down. ”
"I have heard a lot about you, and I have won the name of Beichen Tongsheng and Shengqian Xiucai, and I can also find out the whereabouts of the lion clan!
Li Jiancheng's bright eyes looked at Li Bai with interest.
"Your Majesty, all this is your emperor's grace and blessing to me, of course, this is also thanks to the help of the brothers, if it were not for them, I would not have been able to find out the whereabouts of the lion clan so smoothly. ”
Li Bai put down the wine glass in his hand, he should pat his ass, oh no, he should shoot when he should slap the dragon's fart.
"It's just that the strength of the lion clan is too arrogant, and those guards of the Great Wall alone are afraid that they will be invincible. ”
"Li Bai's words, don't you look down on my human race?"
Lu Zheng snorted lightly.
"Our human race is so powerful, are you still afraid that he will not succeed in the lion clan? You are growing the morale of others and destroying our own prestige, what is your intention? Sheng, I suggest that you investigate Li Bai thoroughly, maybe he is the reverse seed hidden in our human race!"
After Li Bai heard this, he was not annoyed, this is Lu Zheng's face, if Lu Zheng didn't say these words, Li Bai would still feel a little unaccustomed.
"Your Majesty, the strong people of the human race are relatively scattered, and there are many families, what is the way for Mr. Lu to unite the power of all the families? If there is, then please use it quickly, I, Li Bai, thank you in advance on behalf of everyone!"
"You're ......!"
Lu Zheng couldn't say a word to refute.
"What does Li Aiqing mean?"
"The lion clan is arrogant, the beast clans on the grassland have been oppressed by it for many years, and they are quite reactionary, but the various clans in the grass barbarians are relatively scattered, and they can't gather the power to resist, I think, if they can be drawn into our human race, integrate their forces, and the lion clan, why bother?"
"Okay! This plan is very good! The Lion Clan often violates the borders of our Terran Race, and we must not let them continue to be arrogant, Li Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you. ”
"Your Majesty, I plan to win over one clan first, and then slowly develop and grow, and in the future, all the clans will make a pilgrimage, the world will return to the heart, and the Tang Dynasty will always keep peaceful. ”
"Reasonable, so be it. ”
"Ahem. ”
A soft cough came from outside the main hall.
"What man!?"
