Chapter 192: The embers are inexhaustible
A female cultivator named Bai Qi held a long sword upside down, looked at the girl in front of her with a ponytail and a blue gauze skirt, felt the moment when the other party's realm climbed, and said in shock: "Senior sister has broken through the realm again?!"
The ponytail girl wiped her two fingers across the body of the Yanxia Sword and nodded slightly, "Soul Realm." It's just that it's still far from it. β
Even if she broke through three realms in a year, the girl was still not satisfied, just because she wanted to chase that person in her heart, and she was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
At least after becoming a Jindan realm immortal, he can travel the sky, cross the mountains and seas, and meet him.
Therefore, there is still a long way to go to build the soul realm.
Bai Qi swallowed her saliva and said, "Senior sister's cultivation speed is about to catch up with the senior sister in charge. You must know that the senior sister in charge is one of the ten people in Fuyao, and she is also the youngest Ten Realms Sword Immortal in the world. Over time, I believe that my sister can also become the mainstay of our Yunxia Mountain. β
Lu Zhixing smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Senior sister has won the award." By the way, senior sister, since today's sword practice is over, can Zhixing discuss it with senior sister. β
Bai Qi nodded: "As long as you don't violate the door rules, okay, anyway, the senior sister in charge is not on the mountain now, as long as you don't go too far, I'll turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it." β
The nun turned to her side, pretending not to see the girl's eyes glancing down the hill from time to time, and stretched out her hand vigorously to fan the wind against her body.
The girl smiled, put her sword into the sheath, and hugged her fist at Bai Qi and said, "Thank you, senior sister." Senior sister's kindness, Zhixing must be kept in mind. β
"Alright, alright, let's go. Remember to come back early. Bai Qi turned around, stepped into the teleportation circle of Fang Feng, and disappeared from the girl's sight.
At the foot of Yunxia Mountain.
The girl's luck galloped, all the way to the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Daxuan Dynasty, and on the post road where travelers and caravans came and went, she saw a familiar face.
"Uncle Song!"
Wufu Song Jingshan's figure suddenly froze, and he looked at the figure in the distance in disbelief, a little like a dream. He quickly rubbed his eyes, then opened them and looked over there, realizing that he was really not mistaken. It's really Lu Zhixing.
"Girl!"
The joy in his heart was indescribable, Song Jingshan's face was full of smiles, and he walked towards the girl in three steps, and saw that the girl had changed her dress, and she didn't wear a hairpin or comb her hair in a bun, and now she had a ponytail, which looked much more refreshing.
Song Jingshan hurriedly took Lu Zhixing back to the post station and said hello to the shopkeeper, saying that he was entertaining a junior friend, could he finish work earlier today.
The shopkeeper was a good person, and readily agreed.
One big and one small, found a wine table in the post station and sat down. Song Jingshan brought a pot of wine and a pot of tea, poured a bowl of wine for himself, served two appetizers, and poured a bowl of tea for Lu Zhixing, and chatted with a smile: "Girl, why did you come down from the mountain?"
The girl held the tea bowl in both hands and blew into the tea bowl, but her mouth was still a little hot, so she couldn't drink the tea, so she put it back on the table and said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't come to visit Uncle Song for a while, I have time to come and see you today." β
Takeo couldn't contain his smile, obviously very happy, he raised his head and stuffed a bowl of wine, and immediately poured himself another bowl, ready to take another sip.
Lu Zhixing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with concern: "Uncle Song, drink less, right?"
Song Jingshan smiled kindly, and wanted to say that it didn't matter, he was happy today, but seeing that the girl rarely cared about herself, she felt that it was not good to live up to the kindness of others, so she restrained the wine worm in her heart and put down the wine bowl.
"Okay, okay, I'll drink less. He withdrew his hand, resting his hands lightly on his knees, and looked up at the slim girl sitting across from him, and then looked down at the bowl of wine on the table.
Song Jingshan couldn't be happy.
When the warrior raised his head again, he noticed that there was a long sword on the girl's table, and although the scabbard blocked most of the light, it was still difficult to hide the brilliance of the sword body.
He asked with some curiosity, "Girl, is you already a qi refiner on the mountain?"
The girl nodded lightly and smiled indifferently: "Zhixing is now a Soul Building Realm Sword Cultivator. β
Hearing that Lu Zhixing not only embarked on the road of immortality, but was also already a Qi Refiner of the Three Realms, Song Jingshan excitedly said hello three times in a row.
He couldn't help but pinch the bowl again, raise it to his lips, and this time he restrained himself a lot, and only raised his head and drank half a bowl of wine.
If you want to practice martial arts for half your life, you can be worthy of the martial arts of the Three Realms.
I never thought that Lu Yatou, a girl who could only read and write, play the piano and paint, stayed in that Yunxia Mountain by mistake, and accepted the immortal master as an apprentice, and after only one year of practice, she had broken the three realms.
The future is immeasurable, and the future is promising.
That's the girl who grew up by herself, and she is half of her junior. Now this junior has become a man from the mountain, and his talent is so high.
Song Jingshan was sincerely happy for her.
He hadn't read a few books, and he didn't know what to say to his juniors, so he could only drink wine while listening to the girl describe life on the mountain to him vividly.
said that those senior sisters with high realms would be outside the Yunxia Mountain Waterfall all day long, floating around with the wind and sword, which made her envious. He also said that some senior sisters who have found a unique way, in addition to practicing swords, also know some methods of refining qi and cultivating qi, which can make their faces stay in the same way as when they were young, but they are actually hundred-year-old monks. Standing in front of yourself and letting yourself guess, you didn't guess the age of a senior sister.
It is said that the spring water in the Clear Spring Garden, after being blessed with the meditation technique, has a miraculous effect, not only for the Qi Refiners, but also for a pure martial artist like Uncle Song.
As he spoke, Lu Zhixing took out a mutton fat white jade bottle from his arms, which contained a bottle of spring water from Qingquan Villa.
At first, the martial artist Song Jingshan still had to push and block, unwilling to accept this too precious gift.
was said by the girl, and finally said that this was her first gift, and Uncle Song had to accept this heart no matter what, so as to repay Uncle Song for escorting her all the way to escape.
Only then did Song Jingshan accept the mutton fat white jade bottle.
He didn't know that the value of a bottle was higher than the water in it. It was an immortal magic weapon that Tang Yin had used, even if the water in the bottle was just an extremely ordinary well water river water.
It can also be blessed by the mutton fat white jade bottle, although it will not make the well water and river water immediately become a treasure that can prolong people's life, but drinking the water in this bottle can remove dirt and scale, help people get rid of impurities in the body, and enhance physical fitness.
It's good that the girl didn't mention it, as soon as she mentioned that Song Jingshan escorted the three teenagers and girls to flee at that time, Wufu inquired about the whereabouts of the other two teenagers.
He was busy with the menial work of serving tea and delivering water at the post station at the bottom of the mountain, so naturally he couldn't get this news. Thinking that Lu Yatou is now a disciple of the immortal family on Yunxia Mountain, she should be more informed than herself.
Lu Zhixing told the truth about Li Zijin's coming to a flying sword message, of course, he didn't mention the content of the letter in half a sentence, only said that there was such a thing. I also mentioned that after the stupid boy wrote a letter, he didn't leave a reply to the letter, and he was too inconsiderate.
Later, after a while, Li Huairen also took the initiative to fly the sword to send a message to Yunxia Mountain, saying that Li Zijin had also written a letter to Daoxuan Academy, and the young master of the county guard also complained about Li Zijin's failure to leave a reply formula.
The two exchanged recent information with each other, and Lu Zhixing learned that Li Huairen was highly valued by the chief and several gentlemen in the academy, and his schoolwork was always completed first, and then he plunged into the scripture pavilion of the academy, and as soon as he plunged in, he read books day and night.
It's like I'm busy reading all the books in the world when I'm a teenager.
She remembered that Li Huairen was not such a character in the past, and he was reluctant to force Li Huairen to study when Li Jianyi, the former county guard, and the gentleman who was invited to the county guard's mansion forced Li Huairen to study.
Now no one is forcing him.
I began to push myself.
And Li Huairen forced himself, and he forced himself more ruthlessly than others.
When Lu Zhixing mentioned the changes in the past year, he had a feeling of "seeing mountains is not mountains".
It seems that everyone has changed.
Li Zijin has changed from a little scholar who likes to flip and write, to a sword cultivator who can easily attract flying swords in the Huxin Pavilion. Now he has crossed the mountains and mountains, taken the Xianjia ferry, and gone to a broader world, and he is a veritable mountain man. From such a small pimple in Taiping County, it has gone to a huge sway.
Li Huairen went from hating reading the most to living in the Scripture Pavilion of Daoxuan Academy day and night. Judging from the handwriting he sent to Yunxia Mountain from Daoxuan Academy, it seems that Li Huairen is much more serious than before in the two things of reading and writing, and the "tone" between the lines, or the "literary style", has also become more rigorous and serious, and it is no longer the gag that was used before.
Uncle Song was reduced from a coachman in Lufu to doing some rough work in a Jianghu post station, serving tea and delivering water for a living.
And she, Lu Zhixing, herself, has changed from a young lady of the Lu family who has no worries about food and clothing and never needs to think about survival, to a homeless rootless duckweed who does not stay in Yunxia Mountain to practice, and even keeping warm will be a problem.
All these changes seem to have started because of that karmic fire.
The karmic fire in Taiping County was extinguished.
The karmic fire in her Lu Zhixing's heart will not be extinguished.
Li Zijin wanted to do his best to seek justice for Taiping County, and he did not hesitate to cross the mountains and seas alone and cross to other states.
Li Huairen had to endure humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of revenge, and carry the heaviest burden to do what he was most unwilling to do before.
She was not idle either.
threw away the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hop tea, picked up a smoky sword, and then moved forward desperately.
She's going to be in front, ahead of the two of them.
To the Daxuan Dynasty, he handed out a sword from the red lotus industry fire in Taiping County that was not burned out.
Lu Zhixing lightly placed his hand on the Yanxia scabbard, and the scabbard trembled slightly, as if there was a response.
The girl has fire in her heart and light in her eyes.
ββββ
Li Zijin, Chen Zhiyuan, and Hongshao left the Yizi military tent and went to live in a place in Ping'andu.
There are several dwellings on this street that were bought by the Liang Imperial Court for the guards who transported the refined iron to live, and most of them were dressed in disguise and did not wear armor on weekdays.
In the courtyard, the three of them talked about the robbery of the princess.
Li Zijin asked curiously: "So, the Liangguo Imperial Court has already sent someone to investigate?"
Chen Zhiyuan nodded and replied, "The group of people who robbed Princess Shuyao may have something to do with Linglong City. But knowing only this, I still can't find the princess. β
Li Zijin sighed, he had indeed tried his best in this matter, and he really couldn't help with more help.
Chen Zhiyuan comforted the young man instead, and said with a sincere look in his eyes: "Li Shaoxia doesn't have to blame himself, this time the princess was robbed, it was my dereliction of duty." Li Shaoxia was able to see the injustice on the road and draw his sword to help, which had already made Chen and the brothers grateful. β
The young swordsman in green shirt could only nod slightly, "The personnel are exhausted, but they are subject to the destiny of heaven." β
Hong Shao tightly tugged at the corner of his senior brother's clothes, for fear that his senior brother would lose it again.
At this very moment.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the courtyard gate.
Chen Zhiyuan immediately got up, pushed open the door and found that it was several of his subordinates.
Immediately, one of them, holding a secret letter in his hand, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord." β
Chen Zhiyuan gave Li Zijin an apologetic look, and the latter waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Chen Zhiyuan walked out of the house, closed the courtyard door, turned around and took the letter, and then after carefully reading the contents of the letter, his face was solemn, and he said: "Quickly go to the Yizi account to report to General Murong and ask her to take someone to rescue the princess." β
Li Zijin and Hong Shao, who heard the news in the house, looked at Chen Zhiyuan, who looked in a hurry, and asked, "Brother Chen, but there is news of the princess?"
The latter turned over and nodded: "Linglong City sold Princess Shuyao to Fengguo, it is said that she is now on the way to the border of Fengguo, about a hundred miles away from here, and the imperial court has already asked the Qi Refiner to take the Fu Boat first, and our group of people will also go to Ping'andu, and the soldiers and horses of the B-word account will take those few trap birds that transport century-old fine iron and then rush there." The situation is urgent, there is no time to delay, Li Shaoxia, Miss Hongshao, let's talk about it another day!"
Between the words, Chen Zhiyuan had already galloped away.
"Red Shao Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Before Li Zijin could speak, Hong Shao had already shook his head and said, "Senior brother, don't say much, I'll go with you." β
This time, no matter what, the girl didn't want to be left alone, even if she knew that this matter was dangerous, she would rather advance and retreat with her senior brother.
The young swordsman in the green shirt suddenly felt the ripples of aura in the little junior sister's body, and was pleasantly surprised that he had left for the past few days, and the junior sister had also gained.
Today's girl has embarked on the road of immortality and has become a veritable qi refiner.
Li Zijin smiled and stroked the hair of the girl in white, and said softly, "Let's go." β
Over there in Ping'an, Chen Zhiyuan took a dozen or so guards to meet with Murong Xiaoshan's B-word army, and the two looked at the slowly rising organ bird, and their hearts were full of emotion.
Chen Zhiyuan said: "Unexpectedly, in the past, there were fewer people and more refined iron, but today there are more people and less refined iron. β
Murong Xiaoshan frowned, thinking about something.
"What is General Murong thinking?" he asked.
The female general with a wiped forehead on her face was full of heroism, shook her head and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think it's Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· That letter was sent to you by a border army scout?
Chen Zhiyuan, who was confused by the question, was stunned, and then nodded and said: "Naturally credible, that spy dead soldier is just a scout of the border army of Liangguo on the surface, but he is actually a person from the imperial court military aircraft battalion, and he has been sent here for more than ten years, and the information handed back has always been reliable." β
Murong Xiaoshan said: "This is the best. It's just my instinct that I keep saying that there's something wrong with this matter and that it shouldn't be that simple. A few days ago, we tried our best to spread the net and failed to find the princess's way out, but now the news has arrived, and it is so clear that the time, place, and people of the transaction, we almost stood in front of us to lead the way, and took us to find Princess Shuyao. Don't you think it's a little too easy?"
As soon as the female military general said this, Chen Zhiyuan frowned, touched his chin with one hand, thought about it, and muttered: "When General Murong said this, this matter seems to be too smoothΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Maybe it's a princess, Jiren has his own natural appearance?"
The female general smiled and shook her head, "Anyway, we're ready to send it." β
The two of them boarded the last of the largest trap birds and headed for the border of Fengguo, a hundred miles away.
Li Zijin and Hong Shao each condensed their aura on the soles of their feet, improved their foot strength, and galloped in the jungle, but they didn't have time to catch up with the group of trap birds that crossed safely.
It's also strange that the young man hesitated at the first moment, he originally felt that he had done his best, and Li Zijin, who could take his little junior sister to say goodbye, thought about it, if he only did this step in everything, even if he did his best, then if he encountered difficulties again, wouldn't he be able to use one step to "do his best to obey the destiny of heaven" to deceive others?
So almost as soon as Chen Zhiyuan left, the young man made up his mind to take care of this matter to the end.
If he said that he faced the Jindan Sword Immortal Su Hancai before, then he, the Peiyuan Realm Sword Cultivator, tried his best to fall into a coma, and it was indeed irretrievable.
Then at this moment, he is just facing a group of battlefield warriors, ordinary people.
He entered the "realm of selflessness" again, and realized the two sword intents of spring breeze and spring rain.
As a sword cultivator, why be afraid?
When the young swordsman in green shirt and the girl in white passed through Ping'an, those trap birds had already flown into the sky, and they could only look at each other from a distance, leaving a small shadow in the sky.
The two of them can only choose to take the mountain and jungle paths, which is naturally not as fast as the few trap birds and Fu boats in the air that directly cross the mountains, but in the end, Li Zijin and the little junior sister Hong Shao are both qi refiners, and their luck is not a problem to cross the mountains and mountains.
If you take the vast post road, in fact, riding a horse is more physically economical, but as Chen Zhiyuan said, the situation is urgent, and it is too late to take the post road at this moment.
And horses are not good at trekking through mountains and rivers and shuttling through the woods, compared to it, it is better to rely on the ability to jump with the blessing of the aura to shuttle through the mountains and woods quickly.
"Senior sister. If you are tired, you can take a break. β
In order to take care of the little junior sister's footsteps, the young swordsman in green shirt has slowed down a lot. Considering that Hongshao CIA had just embarked on the road of immortality, when he was in the realm of Qi Refining, he had just opened up the sea and could not condense qi, so the aura was scattered in the body.
It's not that aura can't be used at all, it's just that the storage is very small, the consumption is very large, and the mobilization efficiency is extremely low.
However, Li Zijin ignored that Hong Shao was wearing two immortal robes with high rank at the same time.
A glazed neon feather robe, and a Fulin robe that condenses to pure water transportation.
These two immortal robes are worn on the body, and they are invulnerable to water and fire, and they can help the qi refiner quickly gather the aura between heaven and earth, abandon impurities, and absorb the essence, so even if Hong Shao is only a Qi refiner of the Ming Realm realm, because he is wearing two immortal magic weapons, he can be regarded as a Qi Condensing Realm monk.
What's more, the girl is still a sword cultivator.
She is no longer the weak appearance that would drag her senior brother back when she climbed the mountain that never sleeps.
Hong Shao didn't think about it, and said categorically: "I'm not tired." β
Seeing that the girl's expression was firm, Li Zijin didn't say anything more.
When the two came to the Fengguo border a hundred miles away, they found that the female soldiers in the B-shaped tent, as well as the dozen or so guards under Chen Zhiyuan, were all handcuffed and ankletted.
Everyone was dejected, and they were being pushed and shoved by soldiers wearing Fengguo military uniforms on both sides to rush to the border of Fengguo.
Li Zijin and Hong Shao hid on the hillside, looked down, and saw a dense long line of people like fire dragons.
Those Fengguo soldiers held torches high and lined up in a line, escorting this group of female soldiers who crossed the B word tent safely and walked slowly.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up! Make sure you cross the border before the hour!"
"It's all for me to move, if I find out which guy is grinding for grandpa, the long whip in grandpa's hand doesn't recognize people!"
Below, the head of the Fengguo border army rode on a horse, slowly moving forward, holding a slender silver whip in his hand.
Li Zijin didn't have to think about it, he knew that such a whip would be painful when it was whipped on people.
There were already some female soldiers, scarred.
Hong Shao pursed the corners of his mouth and said softly: "Senior brother, Brother Chen and Sister Murong are not in an ambush." β
Li Zijin nodded and said, "It seems to be so." But rest assured, things haven't gone back yet. β
The young man's gaze fell to the front of the entire team, and not far from that side was the border between Liangguo and Fengguo.
Obviously, Fengguo used the false news that Princess Shuyao would trade here, to lure this safe Watanabe army to rush to this place, and then fall into their ambush.
Feng Guo's move was not authentic, and he led a large army to cross the border of Liang State, which violated the peace regulations between Liang State and Feng State.
Is it to covet the refined iron of the Lihu Mountains?
Li Zijin suddenly came to his senses, and it is very likely that the group of people who robbed Princess Shuyao were not the same group as the group of people in Fengguo!
It may even be that the spies lurking in Liangguo on Fengguo's side, after hearing the news of Princess Shuyao's robbery by some means, they deliberately set up an ambush, and then falsely transmitted information to Chen Zhiyuan, forcing him to notify the soldiers of the Yizi account to come here to "save people", and was finally ambushed by the Fengguo army.
It's just that killing them directly is not a more efficient means? Why did Fengguo escort these female soldiers back to their own territory?
The situation is urgent, and Li Zijin can't be allowed to think about it carefully, and there is no time for him to think of a perfect plan.
Now, he can only try to find Murong Xiaoshan and Chen Zhiyuan from the people who were escorted.
From their mouths, they got the method of informing the Liangguo Imperial Court, so as to ask for help!
