During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin attached great importance to the Qingming of the rule of officials, and all officials showed their abilities, so that the Tang Dynasty ushered in a prosperous era.

During this period, there was a large amount of grain per capita, and the price was extremely low.

Therefore, the people of Datang have no worries about food and clothing, the young have something to learn, and the old have something to rely on.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains was in a critical period of ruin, but the Tubo in the southwest, Tuyuhun in the west, the Turks in the northwest, Xue Yantuo in the north, and Goguryeo in the northeast all posed a serious threat to the Tang Dynasty.

In the midst of internal and external troubles, Tang Emperor Li Shimin guided the Tang Dynasty to move from chaos to great governance.

However, the evil demons who grew up in the war were unwilling to be suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, and they used various methods to plague the people, demagoguery, and try to bring Middle-earth back into chaos.

At the same time, an ancient demon power is slowly awakening.

It is said that in ancient times, the Yandi tribe, which was once regarded as the head of the Central Plains tribe, gradually weakened for various reasons.

And in the land of Dongyi, a tribe composed of demons, Jiuli, under the leadership of their big chieftain Chi You, finally unified most of the Dongyi tribes and became the most powerful tribal alliance in the world.

Inevitably, Jiuli's gaze finally fell on the land of the Central Plains, stretching out his claws towards the Yandi tribe.

Although the Yandi tribe tried their best to resist, they were eventually expelled from the Central Plains.

At that time, it seemed that the Jiuli tribe was about to become the new masters of the Central Plains Continent.

However, the Yandi tribe, which was defeated by Jiuli, did not give up, and went north to successfully form an alliance with the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan tribe to jointly fight against the demons of Jiuli.

After that, the two sides fought a series of battles, because the Jiuli people each have demon power, and have an absolute advantage in fighting, although the Yanhuang coalition army fought bravely, it was still not the opponent of the Jiuli demon clan, and several times the whole army was almost wiped out.

At this critical juncture, the Yellow Emperor turned to the gods for help, and also got the support of the gods, and in the final Zhuolu battlefield, the Yanhuang alliance army won the final victory with the help of the gods.

The chief of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You, was killed, and his men fled and died.

The Yellow Emperor divided Chi You's body into two halves and sealed them in different places.

The main members of the Jiuli clan were expelled from the Three Realms, and a large number of demons who fought in the Jiuli army were severely punished.

Over time, it came to the Zhenguan year.

The Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm have all turned into legends, and those Jiuli demons who escaped are still in the human world.

In the human world, the power of humans and demons seems to have reached a balance, when the world is peaceful and prosperous, most of the demons hide in the mountains and forests, and when the world is in turmoil, all kinds of demons will also come out to make waves.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the rebellion of Tubo in the southwest, Tuyuhun in the west, Turks in the northwest, Xue Yantuo in the north, and Goguryeo in the northeast caused those demons and monsters to come out again to bring disaster to the world.

The Celestial Realm watches the changes in the human world, but it cannot interfere directly.

At that time, only Buddhism had the ability to kill demons, and in order to let the people have the ability to resist demons, Li Shimin vigorously advocated Buddhism.

In addition, there is a place comparable to the fairy world, called Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain is famous for its swordsmanship, and the disciples of Tianmen Mountain can soar through the clouds and mist, fly with the sword, and have the skill of slaying demons and eliminating demons.

Legend has it that Tianmen Mountain is high into the sky, it is a tribe that has no quarrel with the world in ancient times, in order not to be disturbed by the war in the world, Tianmen Mountain was hidden by the Tianmen leader using a spell to hide the lower part, only through the upper part of the clouds.

There is an ancient building on the top of the mountain, comparable to the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, known as the Tianmen Palace, which is the place where the disciples of Tianmen Mountain live and practice martial arts, and it is also the place where the gate to the heavenly realm is located.

Plants on Tianmen Mountain grow on their own, and the spring water is sweet and never inexhaustible, which can be said to be inexhaustible.

The most important thing is that time on the mountain is still, so the disciples of Tianmen Mountain have not changed their appearance for thousands of years, and they still remain in their twenties.

They are not immortals but they are similar to immortals, unlike immortals who have so many constraints, and they can't see what the Jiuli forces that are awakening do to the world, so they often go down the mountain and kill demons together with Buddhism.

Their behavior was recognized by the people, and they were also favored by Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and their disciples were called Tianmen Mountain Sword Immortals by the world.

"Be quiet and quiet, you will affect my story, and if I can't say it well, you won't be comfortable listening. ”

A storyteller on the side of the street said to a young man below who was waving a tree branch.

The young man threw the branch aside and said to the old man: "I am not fascinated by it, I think I am the sword immortal of Tianmen Mountain, and I forget myself for a while, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you continue." ”

The young man in the crowd, in his early twenties, was dressed in cloth clothes, a little shabby, but it could not hide his extraordinary heroic posture, his facial features were clearly defined and deep, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and his nose and lips were thin.

Thin but powerful-looking, he was six feet tall (30 centimeters for one foot in the Tang Dynasty and 1.80 meters for six feet), with a straight back and slender hair.

Although he is a civilian, he also reveals a noble temperament.

This person's name is Li Chengfeng, he has never seen his father since he was a child, and he has always relied on his mother for his life, and opened a restaurant in Qinghe Town, which provides accommodation for people who enter Beijing, and he does not earn much, but it is enough to have enough food and clothing.

Qinghe Town is a hundred miles outside Chang'an City, and it is the only way to enter Beijing, so it drives the economy of this town.

As for why Li Chengfeng is called Chengfeng, it is because his father is a little general, and the day he followed Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to revolt and fight was the day Li Chengfeng was born.

There was a strong wind outside that day, and Li Chengfeng's father rode the wind away and never came back, so he was named Li Chengfeng.

"Ride the wind, ride the wind, your mother is looking for you everywhere, if you don't go back, you will be beaten again today!"

After hearing this, Li Chengfeng hurriedly got up and ran to the person who shouted, and asked, "My mother doesn't know that I'm here to listen to books, right?"

The person who came to find Li Chengfeng was Li Chengfeng's playmate since childhood, called Shishi.

The reason why he is called a stone is because his mind is very simple, Li Chengfeng asked him to do whatever he wanted, and never asked why.

Li Chengfeng can't call him stupid, after all, they grew up together, so calling him a stone will never open his mind.

Shi said: "I don't know if Aunt Li knows that you came here to listen to books, I only know that she found my house, it looks very hot, she wants to find you by name, and the feather duster in her hand is still waving, I think when I see you tomorrow, it should be a very painful look." ”

Li Chengfeng felt a shudder after hearing this, shivered and hurriedly ran back.

But at this moment, the storyteller slapped the case and shouted, "Ride the wind! Are you leaving this basket of vegetables for me as a reward?"

Li Chengfeng suddenly realized that it was his mother who came out today to let him buy vegetables, and if the vegetable basket was lost, he would definitely be beaten up after he went back.

After that, Li Chengfeng ran back again, picked up the vegetable basket, and didn't forget to throw two pennies to the storyteller.

The storyteller looked at Li Chengfeng, who was far away, put the two coins into his arms, and said, "Exquisite, okay, let's pick up the book... ”

"Mother, I'm back!"

Li Chengfeng recklessly ran into a tavern called Chengfeng Lou, and saw that it was full of guests, and the two guys were tired and out of breath.

The girl who was in charge of the account at the counter came over, snatched the vegetable basket from Li Chengfeng's hand and said, "The boss has been looking for you all morning, it seems that we have another good show to watch today!"

This girl is the same age as Li Chengfeng, her face is like a silver plate, her eyes are like apricots, her lips are red without dotting, and her eyebrows are green without painting.

The girl's name is Liu Xinger, and Li Chengfeng grew up together since childhood, and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, because Li Chengfeng has been the king of children since he was a child.

It is Li Chengfeng's "leadership" that makes Liu Xinger very admirable.

Even the adults of the two families want the two of them to become husband and wife, but Li Chengfeng just can't look down on Liu Xing'er.

I don't know if Li Chengfeng doesn't know the blessing in the blessing, or if Liu Xing'er doesn't have this life.

"Where's our boss?"

Li Chengfeng looked around for a long time, but didn't see his mother, so he asked Liu Xing'er.

Liu Xing'er gloated and replied: "Maybe busy, but we won't be busy for a while, I think the boss will be busy for a while." ”

Of course, Li Chengfeng understood Liu Xing'er's words, when she was not busy here, her mother should be busy cleaning herself up.

But Li Chengfeng looked at the guests here again, either high-ranking officials and nobles, or righteous people in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of people.

So he opened his mouth and asked, "What day is today? Why are so many people here? Is there any activity in Chang'an?"

Li Chengfeng asked, his eyes seemed to be bursting with light, like a weasel seeing a chicken, and there was a green light in his eyes.

"I don't know very well, I heard that Chang'an is going to hold what kind of water and land meeting, I didn't ask much about the specifics. ”

Li Chengfeng then took the opportunity to serve the food and asked one of the guests at the table: "May I ask what conference is going to be held in Chang'an?

"Haha, you tavern boy, why do you ask so much, even if you know, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Li Chengfeng has long been accustomed to the cynicism of the guests, so he doesn't care about these.

"Don't look at Qinghe Town, which is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, but my mother is strict with me and doesn't let me go far away, so I've never been to Chang'an, so I want to hear interesting things about Chang'an, can you tell me about it, I'll give you free of charge for this dish." ”

"Okay, since the little brother is so refreshing, then why don't I talk about it to the end. ”

Li Chengfeng smiled on his face, but he thought in his heart, "Oh, aren't you just greedy for my dish to give you free!"

"In order to mobilize the people to actively participate in the killing of demons, the day after tomorrow will hold a water and land festival in Chang'an Daci'en Temple, and invite senior monks to teach the people who go to teach the Dharma and teach the skills of killing demons and demons, so that the people all over the Tang Dynasty can master the method of killing demons and eliminating demons, so that there is no need to be afraid of demons to disturb. ”

Li Chengfeng was overjoyed and said: "Is it possible to think of the sword immortals in Tianmen Mountain, the sword flying, and the sword qi is launched in a row, and those demons who fight can't find the way to come?"

"Hey, you kid thinks very well, Tianmen Mountain and Buddhism are capable people, not to mention that it takes decades to practice, now, not only are there foreign enemies eyeing you, but also the demon is disturbing, we just want to learn a little fur, just to protect ourselves, as for those things that kill demons and eliminate demons, how can it have anything to do with us. ”

In any case, this successfully aroused the dream of the Sword Immortal in Li Chengfeng's heart, so he secretly decided that he must go to Chang'an City and participate in that water and land puja!

Just when Li Chengfeng was secretly happy in his heart, a middle-aged woman's voice came out, and this voice was full of gunpowder.

"Li Chengfeng! You're back!"
