Chapter 283: Nanzhao Kingdom
Qing Huixiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sighed faintly: "Senior sister, when are we going back to the mountain gate? Li Ling groaned slightly, and said softly: "In two days, we will go back to the mountain gate." ”
Qinghui nodded, then said no more, just picked up the teacup and quietly looked at the plane tree outside the window. Qinghui's two senior brothers and another senior sister all looked at Qinghui leaning against the window with some concern, Li Ling shook his head slightly, signaling that the three of them didn't have to worry.
Li Qingxuan, who was outside the private room, stood quietly for a while, and then raised his hand and knocked on the carved wooden door of the private room. Li Lingwei and the others in the private room were all startled by the gentle knock on the door, Li Lingwei and the others were all cultivators who had cultivated true qi, and their senses were extremely sensitive, even if they were martial arts masters in the mortal martial arts, they couldn't hide their senses.
Li Lingwei's heart flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Isn't Brother Li back?" Thinking of this, Li Lingwei opened the carved wooden door, and saw a handsome young man with a long body like jade outside the private room.
A look of surprise flashed in Li Lingwei's eyes, and then he picked up his skirt and said, "Lingwei has seen my brother, brother, please come in quickly." Li Qingxuan smiled and nodded, and then stepped into the private room.
Several people in the private room hurriedly greeted Li Qingxuan, when Qinghui greeted Li Qingxuan, her eyes were slightly dodgy, Li Qingxuan knew the reason, and did not pierce the window paper. After Li Qingxuan sat down, he said to Li Lingwei, "Lingwei, what about Master Lingche and Fairy Shi?"
Li Lingwei thought for a moment and said softly, "Venerable Lingche and Venerable Dao Di were invited by Zen Master Weizhong to go to the Chongsheng Temple in Yamato City of Nanzhao Kingdom. As for Shi Xiaoyun and Jia Xuanji, they returned to Qinzhou Yuquanguan. ”
Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, "Lingwei, what are your plans next?" are you going to return to the mountain gate or continue your travels?"
Li Lingwei said: "Brother, we are going to return to the mountain gate tomorrow, this time going down the mountain is a great benefit for us, I am ready to return to the mountain gate, and I will retreat and impact the realm." ”
When Li Qingxuan heard this, he smiled lightly: "Since this is the case, I wish you all the best for my brother and cultivate to the realm as soon as possible." Li Ling smiled slightly, and said softly: "I also want to thank my brother for giving me the Tsukidan, with this Tsukidan, I am seventy percent sure that I will leave the country after cultivating the road." ”
Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, please try the delicious delicacies of Wuzhou Mansion for your brother." Li Lingwei said: "Please also ask my brother to stay for a while, the eight dishes of Wuzhou Mansion will be delivered later." ”
Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, and then drank all the tea in the teacup. The person next to Li Lingwei was Qinghui, and Qinghui saw Li Qingxuan drink all the tea, so she immediately got up and filled Li Qingxuan's teacup.
Li Qingxuan glanced at Qinghui and thanked her with a smile, Qinghui's face was slightly red, and she didn't speak. After a while, the shopkeeper brought up the eight major dishes of Wuzhou Mansion one by one.
Half an hour later, Li Qingxuan, Li Lingwei and others ran out of food. Li Qingxuan glanced at Li Lingwei, then at Qinghui and the other three, and said with a faint smile: "Lingwei, Qinghui, and all of you, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and there will be a period in the future." ”
Li Lingwei picked up her skirt and said, "I wish my brother everything on this trip, and there are no taboos!" Li Qingxuan smiled slightly, and then exchanged a few words with Qinghui and a few people, and after a while, he turned around and went downstairs.
Qinghui looked at Li Qingxuan's disappearing figure, and sighed secretly in her heart, "Senior Brother Daoxuan, I hope that when you are free, you can come to Lushan to see me......" Li Qingxuan left the Yuelai Inn, and left Wuzhou Mansion City after a short time.
On the official road southwest of Wuzhou Prefecture, Li Qingxuan saw that there was no one around, so he transported the imperial sword technique, and the nine swords of the crow turned into a big sword Xuanguang, carrying Li Qingxuan towards the Nanzhao Kingdom in the southwest direction. A small bookstore
Li Qingxuan carried his hands behind his back and walked leisurely on the sword, a fierce wind blew in the sky, and the wind blew Li Qingxuan's clothes into a hunting sound, making Li Qingxuan seem to return with the wind.
This sword technique is excellent whether it is used against the enemy or for rushing. It's just that although this swordsmanship is good, it also consumes true qi, if it weren't for Li Qingxuan's cultivation of the dragon and tiger intersection realm and the communication of the bridge between heaven and earth, otherwise it wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption of swordsmanship.
The closer you get to the land of Nanzhao, the more chaotic you will see on the road. Nanzhao is located in the southwest of the Tang Empire, since ancient times is the gathering place of the Yi, Bai, Dai, Wuman and other tribes, the southwest territory because of the many tribes, so the customs are varied, do not belong to each other.
However, since ancient times, the southwestern territory has had powerful tribes establish and claim to be kings. As early as the time of the pre-Qin period in ancient times, there was Yelang State in the southwest, Yelang State did not obey the indoctrination, and was destroyed by the general Zhuang Ji [qiāo] in the period of King Xiang of Chu, and later Zhuang Ji was called the king in the southwest, and was the king of Dian.
Zhuang Ji established the state of Yunnan for one hundred and seventy years, and the state of Dian was later the state of mourning. After the fall of the Ailao Kingdom, the descendants of the Ailao royal family established the Chengxiang Kingdom. After the fall of the Chengxiang Kingdom, Pi Luoge, the leader of the Mengshe tribe in the southwest, established the Nanzhao State in the 26th year of the Tang Empire.
The king of Nanzhao at this time was the adopted son of Pi Luo Ge Luo Feng, Ge Luo Feng had literary and military talents, his ambition was high, Ge Luo Feng succeeded to the beginning of the throne, submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and once helped the Tang Dynasty to fight against the Tubo Empire.
Later, because the Yunnan Taishou of the Tang Empire, Zhang Qiantuo was repeatedly rude to Ge Luofeng, Zhang Qiantuo not only solicited money from Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng, but also supported Ge Luofeng's brother Chengjie to rebel, Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng was furious, and Emperor Xuanzong Tianbao was nine years old, and Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng sent troops against Tang.
Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng sent troops to capture Yaozhou and killed Taishou Zhang Qiantuo. Emperor Xuanzong sent Jiannan Jiedu to envoy Xian Yu Zhongtong to send troops to conscript, but Xian Yu Zhongtong was defeated by Ge Luofeng, who captured Yunnan and captured the 32 prefectures of Southwest Yi.
Since then, there have been continuous wars between the Tang Dynasty and the Nanzhao Kingdom. Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of Emperor Xuanzong in the later period, in order to establish his authority, once again conscripted troops throughout the country, and sent a large army of the imperial court to crusade against Nanzhao, but was defeated by Ge Luofeng again.
Soon after, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng took the opportunity to launch an expansion war, and successively controlled the 32 prefectures of Southwest Yi, which caused the national strength of Nanzhao to flourish and shocked the west for a time.
Li Qingxuan's heart was full of thoughts for a while, and it was not something he could intervene in to stop the continuous war between the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Dynasty and the Nanzhao Kingdom continued to fight for many years, resulting in countless casualties among the people, the side door and the demon sect forces in the southwest territory were greatly prosperous.
For these things, Li Qingxuan knew from the letters passed to him by Si Tiantai, Li Qingxuan originally knew some things about Nanzhao Kingdom, there were many side doors and demon sect monks in Nanzhao Kingdom, and for the cultivators in the Central Plains, Nanzhao Kingdom was really in a dangerous place.
It is good to say that the monks of the side door and the left way always have some scruples in their actions, and they will not easily slaughter ordinary people, and if they meet the experienced disciples of the Central Plains Cultivation Sect, they will always leave a little leeway, and they will not easily offend the Central Plains Cultivation Sect.
But the Demon Sect monks will not care about the ordinary people, the Demon Sect monks have a perverse temperament, act without taboos, and have always acted recklessly. It doesn't matter if you are a true disciple of the great sect of cultivation or a martial arts warrior in the mortal world, if you make them unhappy, no matter who you are, you will kill them to vent your anger.
As for killing the true disciples of the Great Sect of Cultivation, they would hide in the islands of the South China Sea, the sea is vast and separated from the land, and there are many monsters in the sea during the period, even the true dragons and tigers of the Great Sect of Cultivation will not easily set foot in it.
Therefore, after entering the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, Li Qingxuan no longer flew with the Crow Nine Swords and Imperial Sword, so as not to be too high-profile, although Li Qingxuan is now a great monk in the realm of dragon and tiger convergence, but in the 100,000 mountains of the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, it is rumored that there are immortal-level demon sect giants living in seclusion.
Although Li Qingxuan was not afraid of the Demon Sect giants at the level of human immortals, he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, Li Qingxuan came here to find the Gu monk from the upper realm to take revenge, so he didn't want to startle the snake, so as not to make the Gu monk wake up.
