Chapter 185: Igniting the Sabre
"I'll go to Inurong Mountain later, eat wine, drink meat, and sleep with women, what are you going to do?"
Xu Qi'an looked at Nangong Qianrou with a smile.
Nangong Qianrou frowned and sneered: "A Jianghu organization, what is there to socialize with." ”
Xu Qi'an restrained his smile and said softly, "I'm no longer a silver gong." ”
The banter and disdain in Nangong Qianrou's eyes slowly converged, and she seemed to lose interest in talking all of a sudden.
After a long time, he said lightly: "Go and join in the fun." ”
Hey, this is not like the style of the second brother of Nangong, could it be that he is worried about me, afraid that this is the Hongmen banquet set up by the Wulin League? Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
.............
Inurong Mountain is steep and shrouded in mist.
This mountain is the famous cave blessed land in Jianzhou, the forest is reckless, the crane sings and the ape cries, starting from the mountainside, the courtyards and attics are dotted all over the place, and it extends to the top of the mountain.
"Inurong Mountain is a scenic spot in Jianzhou, the main peak is majestic, the side peak is beautiful, the main peak has a large waterfall that hangs dozens of zhang, in the rainy season, the mountain flood erupts, even if it is a six-grade master, it can not withstand the washing of the waterfall. ”
"I heard that there are 8,000 cavalry in the headquarters of the Wulin League, and they are the subordinates of the martial artists who chased the Central Plains back then. ”
Walking through the tall archway at the foot of the mountain, Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion: "Eight thousand cavalry, you can sweep through Jianzhou, why has the imperial court tolerated the existence of the Wulin League for so many years?"
Nangong Qianrou listened to his chatter, most of the topics were not interested, and when it came to the last topic, she couldn't help but say:
"Because that puppet had an agreement with Emperor Gaozu back then. ”
"What agreement?" Xu Qi'an's face was full of curiosity.
"How do I know, my father-in-law didn't say. Nangong Qianrou said with a roll of her eyes.
Xu Qi'an continued to talk about Dashan: "The beauties of Wanhualou in Jianzhou are all charming, if you are interested in bringing one back to be a concubine, I think the owner of Xiaolou will be very happy." ”
Nangong Qianrou simply ignored him.
"If it were me, it would be perfect if I could bring Lord Xiao back to the capital and be a concubine. ”
"You don't seem to have a wife, if you still play the silver gong of the Yamen, it is indeed not suitable to marry a woman in the rivers and lakes, as for now, she is more than enough to be your wife. Nangong Qianrou said.
"I can't do it. Xu Qi'an waved his hand again and again.
"Why?" Nangong Meiren frowned.
"The position of the wife, I will leave it to His Royal Highness Lin'an, or His Royal Highness Huaiqing. "Xu Qi'an is serious.
"Get out!"
Nangong Qianrou said angrily.
If you don't believe it........
Soon, the two came to the courtyard of the main peak of Inurong Mountain, and after being passed on by the steward of the alliance, they were introduced into the living room, and in the hall sat Cao Qingyang, the purple-robed alliance leader with upright facial features and a majestic demeanor.
After a brief greeting, Cao Qingyang said: "Nangong Jinluo wait a while, I have something to say to Xu Yinluo alone." ”
He got up from his seat and walked silently out of the drawing room.
Xu Qi'an went out with him, walked through the living area, and walked towards the back mountain, gradually moving away from the building complex.
"The Ancestor wants to see you. ”
Cao Qingyang took him into the dense forest, went deep along the path, and said, "Don't worry, the old ancestor is not a murderous maniac, but he heard about your deeds and is very interested." ”
Xu Qi'an introspected himself first, the jade given by the prison was worn, Shenshu fell asleep, and now he is just a mediocre Xu Bai. When you meet the big guy, there shouldn't be any problems.
The most important thing is that the other party is a martial artist, and even if there are some minor problems, he must not be able to see it.
In fact, when he came to Inurong Mountain for a banquet, he was somewhat lucky, maybe he could meet the ancestor of the Martial Arts League.
Hey, I'm really lucky......... He teased himself with mixed feelings.
After shuttling through the forest path for a stick of incense, Cao Qingyang took him to a huge mountain wall, Fang Fu stepped out of the dense forest, Xu Qi'an's hair stood up for no reason, and his scalp was numb.
Subconsciously looking at the source of danger, on the cliff, a huge monster hung its head, and two scarlet fierce eyes like a water tank stared at the two of them faintly.
The monster was pitch black, with short, thick hair, shaped like a dog, but with a human-like face.
Alien Beast Dog ........ Inurong Mountain got its name from it......... It's a very powerful anomaly, I can't beat it........ All kinds of thoughts flashed in Xu Qi'an's heart.
At this moment, Inurong retracted his head and disappeared into the cliff.
"Dog Rong is the guardian beast of the Wulin League, it once followed the ancestors to fight in the Quartet, just like the spirit dragon and the human emperor. Cao Qingyang smiled and said:
"Linglong, you should know, there is one in the capital, it swallows purple qi, and it is a top-notch beast. However, it is only close to the royal family. ”
It doesn't need to be explained so clearly, it's just a humble licking dog......... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.
He followed Cao Qingyang, stopped in front of the stone gate on the cliff, and listened to the purple-robed alliance leader say respectfully: "Old ancestor, Xu Yingong has arrived." ”
An old voice came from the stone gate: "The foundation is solid, Shenhua is introverted, not bad." ”
Xu Qi'an clenched his fists and said in a respectful tone: "I've seen my predecessors." ”
The old voice sounded again from inside the door:
"I heard about you, smart people should leave the capital as soon as possible, are you interested in coming to my martial arts league to do things, the old man can accept you as a disciple, hehe, you have proven your character with your behavior.
"After a few more years of training, it is more than enough to be the next leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”
Why does everyone want to be my dad......... Xu Qi'an refused neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The matter in the capital is not over, and besides, the younger generation already has a master." ”
"It's Wei Yuan. The old man in the stone gate hit the nail on the head.
Xu Qi'an was silent.
"What do you want to ask me?" The old ancestor of the Martial Arts League did not dwell on the question of apprenticeship, and was quite free.
Seniors, you can really be on the road. Xu Qi'an happened to have some questions, and immediately spoke:
"The younger generation has read some files about you, and knows that you were a strong person who could compete with Emperor Gaozu back then. Six hundred years have passed, why Emperor Gaozu has already been in the sky, but you can be the same age as the country. ”
He was met with silence in response.
Just when Xu Qi'an thought that the other party would not answer, an old sigh came from the crack in the stone gate: "With your current grade, the level of these things is too high, in fact, you shouldn't know about it." ”
After a few seconds of pause, the old ancestor of the Wulin League said: "In the Dafeng royal family, there are many masters, including Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Wuzong, and King Zhenbei.
"But none of them survived until now, do you know why?"
"Seniors, please. ”
"Those who are riddled with luck shall not live forever. ”
This answer was like a hammer hitting Xu Qi'an's head, and his head was "buzzing".
"Why is that?" he muttered.
"Then the old man doesn't know, maybe it's the rules of heaven and earth, for the specific reason, you can ask Confucianism for advice, or the supervision of Si Tianjian. The old man laughed.
Confucianism knows this secret......... Xu Qi'an's pupils contracted, and he said in shock: "So, the Confucian sage is really dead?"
For a long time, Xu Qi'an always had a guess in his heart that the Confucian sage was not actually dead, but just pretended to be dead, after all, how could an existence beyond the grade only live to be eighty-two years old, isn't this an insult.
"Confucianism is no exception. The old man replied.
If what this old ancestor said is true, then the saint cannot still be alive, and the fact that the Dafeng royal family does not have an immortal powerhouse proves that this old ancestor is not lying.
The Confucian saint is really dead.........
Xu Qi'an couldn't hide his regret in his heart, and at the same time, he solved some doubts in his heart, no wonder Emperor Yuan Jing was so "tolerant" to King Zhenbei, if you want to say that the person with the most luck, it must be the emperor, and King Zhenbei is a pure martial artist, he must .........
"That's not right!"
Xu Qi'an blurted out.
Cao Qingyang turned his head suspiciously and glanced at him.
"What do you seem to have in mind?" said the old man.
Xu Qizhen turned a deaf ear to the words of a peak martial artist, his eyes were lowered, his face was blank, but the pheromones in his brain were like boiling water.
First: Those who are blessed with luck are not allowed to live forever, which is not enough to be a reason for Emperor Yuan Jing to trust King Zhenbei, because King Zhenbei is the Prince of Dafeng, and he is also unable to live forever.
History has proven this.
Therefore, Emperor Yuan Jing trusted King Zhenbei so much, and there was an unknown reason behind it.
Second: Emperor Yuanjing is the king of a country, it is impossible for him not to know this secret, but he knows that it is impossible to live long with luck, and he still cultivates for twenty years, eager for immortality, and there is a paradox here.
Does he think that he can be better than Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wuzong? Does he think that the rules of heaven and earth, which Confucianism and sages cannot resist, can be more amazing and brilliant than Confucianism?
Although Emperor Yuan Jing is not a son of man, he is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very wise.
With all his thoughts in mind, he asked in a low voice, "What do the seniors think about Emperor Yuanjing's cultivation?"
The old man muttered, "Perhaps, he thinks he has opened up a way to live forever and sit on the dragon chair. Oh, the person who helped him should be the head of the human sect. ”
It can't be Luo Yuheng......... Xu Qi'an frowned.
It's not that he prefers his aunt, it's mainly that he remembered some details, Emperor Yuan Jing's original cultivation was to explore by himself. A few years later, Luo Yuheng was named the national teacher, and Renzong was named the state religion.
As a native of the capital, Xu Qi'an still remembers it very clearly.
If it wasn't Luo Yuheng, who would it be? Well, it can't be ruled out that Luo Yuheng secretly bewitched Emperor Yuan Jing to cultivate, and asked Duke Wei when he returned to Beijing........
"I heard that you had an agreement with Emperor Gaozu back then?" Xu Qi'an seized the time to get information.
"Hehe, it's just a verbal agreement, after the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the righteous armies fought for the Central Plains, and I actually had no intention of fighting for the throne at that time. Because I have found the way to the second rank, I am more eager for immortality than the throne.
"It's also because of my personality, I was born poor, I walked the rivers and lakes when I was young, happy and hateful, the rivers and lakes on my body are too heavy, and I want to live an unrestrained life.
"The reason for the rebellion is because the people lived really not the life that people should live, and there is no hope in life, so they naturally have to rebel. He is different from me, he has ambitions, ambitions, and a desire to unify the Central Plains. On the contrary, he is not interested in immortality.
"I remember he used to say that life is about what we care about, and what we pursue should be grand and great, not immortal. Immortality is not interesting, being an emperor is interesting.
"I lost that battle, not by releasing water, but by convincing the heart of the loss. At that time, there was a verbal agreement with him that if his unscrupulous descendants repeated the mistakes of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, I would first rise up and overthrow the corrupt court. ”
Every pioneer has a sincere heart, but future generations often go into decay in the drunkenness of money............ Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
"Seniors, now they have been promoted to the second grade?" Xu Qi'an said tentatively.
After asking, he hurriedly added: "It's the juniors who are abrupt." ”
"If you don't slaughter living beings like King Zhenbei, it's too difficult to be promoted to the second rank on your own. I've been in retreat for 500 years, and I still haven't been able to take the last step. ”
The old man said indifferently: "In order to help me break through the level, Qingyang wants to take the lotus root of the Earth Sect for me to take." ”
Xu Qi'an immediately looked at Cao Qingyang, and said in his heart that you didn't say that to the major sects, you said that you wanted to take the lotus root for the Wulin League, and everyone will have lotus seeds to eat in the future.
Cao Qingyang responded to his gaze and said, "I can raise a lotus root." ”
"I can't feed it. Xu Qi'an reminded.
"That's none of my business. Cao Qingyang said lightly.
“.........”
Xu Qi'an ignored him and looked at Shimen: "Can the lotus root help the seniors to be promoted to the second grade?"
The old man replied, "The odds are great." ”
Even so, he didn't take action in person, he just gave Cao Qingyang a drop of essence blood, this old ancestor of the Martial Arts League was in a very wrong state!
Xu Qi'an's eyes flickered.
"I hope that one day, I can help my predecessors. He said.
Bidding farewell to the ancestor of the Wulin League, he returned to the main peak with Cao Qingyang.
After dusk, the dog Rong Mountain held a banquet, and the major gang leaders and door owners attended the banquet.
Xu Qi'an should have become the protagonist of the banquet, and for such a scene, Xu Bai was like a fish in water.
In his previous life, he did not accompany the leader to drink and socialize, went to the sea to do business, and also never left the wine table.
The cultivation of the banquet is comparable to a product!
In three or two clicks, he mingled with the door master and gang leader of the Wulin League, and the elder sister called Xiao Yuenu, the owner of Wanhualou, shortly.
Yang Cuixue and others were also very happy, they didn't expect Xu Yinluo to be so good, he was good at drinking, and he was unambiguous, and he could not shy away from telling everyone about the secrets in the court.
For example, the queen of the world who is the mother of the world is very beautiful, and she favors Xu Yingong very much, and intends to call him to be a concubine.
For example, he is a frequent visitor to the palace of the two princesses, and he can also tell the layout of the princess's mansion and some private things of the two princesses.
For example, the supervisor of Si Tianjian is also troubled, the five disciples of the supervisor are all talents, and they speak well, and the supervisor is heartbroken for them.
For example, Wang Shoufu's daughter-in-law has a deep love for Xu Yinluo's cousin and can't extricate herself, and she does not hesitate to turn against Wang Shoufu for him.
Of course, the most talked about is the anecdote of the Teaching Workshop Division.
The floating fragrance Oiran is good at the piano, but he is better at flute skills. The Ming inkstone Oiran dances unparalleled, and the body is soft. Xiaoya Oiran is full of poetry and books, but she is warm........
When you are slightly drunk, the banquet disperses.
Xu Qi'an carried his saber and walked into the courtyard where he was placed and entered the room.
The drunkenness in his eyes disappeared immediately.
"After dealing with the affairs of the capital and checking Emperor Yuan Jing, I will come to Jianzhou and make good contacts in advance, so that I can open a ........ in Jianzhou in the future."
He lit an oil lamp, sat down at the table, and drew a long black and gold knife and laid it across the table.
Next, take out the jade mirror, pour out a lotus seed, peel it off, and gently embed the lotus seed into the blade.
He didn't have a jade box, and even if he did, he couldn't fit a four-foot-long knife.
Zhong Li said that his knife lacks a tool spirit. And the lotus seed can ignite the instrument spirit and push this knife into the ranks of peerless gods.

PS: I was adjusting my biological clock recently, and then I was very sad to find something. Go to bed on time every day and wake up the next day with a dizzy head and listless all day.
Then, after ten o'clock, inspiration flowed........ I used to be a codeword in the middle of the night.
