Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Lord of Kitano Castle (Asking for Collections, Asking for Booklists)
The Longwei River is mighty, and there is an endless stream of boats, and there is a spectacular scene of thousands of sails.
Qin Xuan and the others traveled non-stop for seven or eight days before they came to the Longwei River, which is not far from the border of Taiqing Prefecture.
Although taking a boat back to Wuling County from this place is against the current, it is much faster than riding a horse.
As soon as she heard that she was going to take a boat, Lan Shihuai was the first to raise her hands in agreement, these days, she is the most bitter and unspeakable.
The prancing horse whip seems to be heroic, but for her girl's family, it is a sinful thing. The wind blew on her face, and the skin hurt and affected the skin on her face, so she had to wrap her cheeks in a headscarf, exposing only her eyes.
Second, when riding a horse, the buttocks and inner thighs inevitably rub against the saddle, so that calluses will be born, for her with fine skin and tender meat, she really can't stand it, so she put a thick blanket on the saddle, and also put on trousers for the first time, but Rao is so, or inevitably has a sore back and legs.
Fortunately, when staying at the inn, Qin Xuan would massage her in private in a unique way, which made her feel better. During this period, it is inevitable that the guy who is not a decent gentleman will take advantage of him invisibly. However, Lan Shihuai didn't care much about this, because she originally planned to become Qin Xuan's woman.
In order not to affect the speed, Ximen Feilong hired a medium-sized passenger boat alone, and the group prepared the necessities of life, and there was almost no stagnation along the way, heading south along the Longwei River.
Qin Xuan, who was dressed in purple, carried the Mu Qin sword on his waist, and stood on the bow of the boat with his head back, with a smell of jade trees in the wind. A few months ago, he also followed this big river, to the east, at that time he was just a small fish and shrimp in the realm of true martial arts, and now he has changed, and he has also become a master of Zhongtian in the Xuan Realm, looking back on the previous journey, not to mention how strong and fierce he was, and there were no ups and downs, but more just a more intuitive understanding of this river and lake.
This trip to the rivers and lakes seems to be smooth, getting acquainted with the white-clothed woman Bailu, who is strong in martial arts, and traveling with him; and getting the old sword god Liang Yunti's order, and his protection all the way; I saw the unforgettable red-clothed woman Feng Zhaolian in the stormy building, and listened to her say a lot of fascinating things about the rivers and lakes; I got to know the family Ziye Feifei who seemed to have a good background, and guided the country with him.
Entering Dongxuanzhou, he worshiped the East Building of the West Gate as his teacher in a daze, and also successfully entered the Snow Dragon Valley to get the antidote for the wood. Even if he was trapped in the valley, he could still be treated differently by the only remaining great master of the Tianshan Hidden Sect, and he was also a teacher and friend, what Qin Xuan didn't expect was that he also met Lan Shihuai in the Snow Dragon Valley.
Speaking from the heart, he really likes this girl very much, not to mention that she is beautiful, and she is gentle and obedient and understanding, the most important thing is that she is really good to herself, and she never hides it, a woman like her, presumably except for Snow Dragon Valley, there is no place else.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but think of the egret who had said that he wanted to accompany him to fight the sword world, but after he was trapped in the hidden gate, he left on his own, and also thought of the rude and willful Red Lotus Sword Sect eldest lady Mu Youzhi, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Lan Shihuai was the most suitable to ask back to be his daughter-in-law!
..................
Fenglin Prefecture, located in the northwest border, is barren but covers an extremely vast area. General Sun Muye, the first general of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, fought the last battle of Dingding in the Central Plains that traveled thousands of miles here.
Half of the land here belonged to the Great Zhou, and the other half belonged to the Tianfeng Dynasty.
At the junction of the two countries in this state, there is a huge city, called Beiye, it is said that the population of the city is as high as hundreds of thousands, that is, there are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are also the orphans of the Tianfeng Dynasty, everyone respects the martial arts, and the folk customs are extremely strong.
The reason is that after the expulsion of the Tianfeng alien race, there was a very thorny problem, they ruled the world for nearly a hundred years, during which it was inevitable that some people of their own clan would intermarry with the Han people, after fleeing from the Central Plains, those who were born in the Central Plains could not let go of their hometown, so they chose to stay in Beiye City, which could not only rely on the Tianfeng Dynasty, but also look at the homeland of the Central Plains.
There are countless such families, and over time, all of them have gathered in Kitano Castle, forming such a special group.
The people here do not obey the orders of Tianfeng or the Great Zhou, because they happen to be at the junction of the two countries, and there are people of the two countries, so whether it is the Great Zhou or Tianfeng, there will be a complex emotion of wanting to manage but not being too lazy to take care of it.
But fortunately, no matter what the group is, there will be a leader, and the people in this city are no exception, they only obey the orders of the city lord, and this city lord is Gu Shenfei, the third master of the heavenly list, also known as Gu Beicheng.
If you want to say that this Gu Beicheng, it is really a legendary character, his father is from a martial arts family in the Central Plains, but his mother is a native of the grassland, and when the two countries are fighting for the world, such a combination will inevitably be a bitter and tortuous love.
But Gu Shenfei's father and mother are all great characters, and it is said that Sun Muye's Northern Expedition army stopped outside Beiye City, and it was also the ending that Gu Shenfei's father single-handedly promoted. There is no way to verify what happened in the middle, and the only one who knows the truth is probably Gu Shenfei, but if he doesn't say it, no one dares to ask.
Qinjian Village is Gu Shenfei's residence, the manor is not very large, it is very inconspicuous in Beiye City, the highest building in the village is only three floors, and the houses around Qinjian Village do not exceed four floors, which shows the transcendent status of this city lord in the hearts of the locals.
On this day, an uninvited guest suddenly came outside Qinjian Village, an old man in white with gray hair, although he has passed the age of ear shun, there is still an indescribable chic style.
The old man in white had been standing at the gate, staring intently at the plaque in Qinjian Village, as if he was hesitating to go in.
But I heard a guard guarding the door scolding, "What do you see, stranger, can you come to this kind of place?"
The one who can guard the gate and guard the courtyard for a generation of sword leaders Gu Beicheng is naturally not an ordinary person, this guard with a long sword hanging from his waist, his strength is at least at the peak of the Shenwu Realm, he is in the body of the old man in white, and he can't feel the slightest flow of qi, so he guesses that the other party is just an ordinary old man. And the other party's dress is too different from the local, at first glance, it is a foreigner, because this guard did not give the old man a good face, and he spoke disrespectfully.
The old man in white didn't have the same knowledge as the guards, so he stood quietly in place without saying a word, and the guards saw that the old man was very arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to his words at all, and immediately glared, and wanted to draw his sword out of the sheath to scare and scare this old man who didn't have long eyes. But when he held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, his face immediately changed, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime, and the young guard standing opposite him noticed a trace of strangeness, so he asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
This outspoken Zhang guard had a bitter word, and he had experienced such a strange experience for the first time in his life. Just now, when he drew his sword, he suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't draw out the long sword that had been tried and tested. He wanted to let go, but he felt as if his hand was glued to the hilt of the sword, he wanted to speak, but he found that he couldn't speak, he couldn't even open his mouth, and what was worse, he couldn't do it if he wanted to fall headlong to attract the attention of his companions, only to see the old man in white not far away, and cast a mocking look at him.
At this moment, the gate of Qinjian Village was suddenly opened, and a young woman holding a long sword stepped out of the threshold, the woman was dressed in white clothes and white shoes and white hostas, which can be described as a glimpse of the fairy jade appearance, and the old man in white with a proud demeanor couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart.
But then the old man's brows furrowed, and his eyes stared at the woman in white who walked towards him without blinking.
The woman did not have any stage fright because of his eyes, and said as usual: "Master has prepared tea, let me invite Mr. Cai into the village for a while." ”
In his tone, there was a calm indifference.
The old man in white didn't move, but said with a smile: "Hehe, what a Qianyuan body, no wonder Gu Shenfei will accept you as a female disciple......!"
When the woman heard this, her originally cold face was a little moved, "Dare to ask Mr., what is the body of Qianyuan?"
The old man in white smiled without saying a word, and walked straight to Qinjian Village. After he crossed the threshold, the guard, surnamed Zhang, was relieved and freed.
After the figure of the woman in white and the strange old man disappeared, Zhang Huwei sat down on the stone steps and muttered to himself, "Cai ...... Mr. Cai?
At the thought of this name, Zhang Huwei was stunned, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
In Qinjian Village, there is a bamboo forest that is not big or small, and I only heard a melodious guqin sound coming out of the bamboo forest.
The woman in white led the old man in white into the depths of the bamboo forest, and a four-corner ancient pavilion appeared in the field of vision of the two.
There is a man sitting alone in the pavilion, plucking the strings with both hands, waiting for the old man in white to walk in, the sound of the piano suddenly from the melodious sound of the mountain flowing water to the sound of the sound of Mount Tai pressing the wind and rain, the originally static bamboo forest, as if suddenly a tornado, countless bamboo leaves fell one after another, in the air exchange rate, dense like waves, suddenly pressed to the old man in white.
The old man smiled faintly, and with a wave of his big sleeves, the sword in the hand of the woman in white behind him was automatically unsheathed, and flew in front of the old man.
Immediately afterwards, the long sword of the woman in white seemed to have eyes, and flew towards the man who played the piano at great speed, the corner of the man's mouth smiled, and he turned his head slightly, and the long sword flew almost against his hair, and then he raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, took advantage of the situation and pulled a sword flower, and with a flick of his hand, the long sword returned to the scabbard of the woman in white.
All this is said slowly, but in fact, in the moment of lightning, the two world-famous masters looked at each other and smiled.
But before he could speak, he heard a cold snort at the same time, and then saw the woman in white suddenly turn away.
The old man in white didn't care, walked into the ancient pavilion at the four corners, and sat opposite the man in the pavilion.
The man looks elegant, and he is also dressed in white, but the workmanship and materials are much more exquisite than the old man in white, this person is the owner of Qinjian Village, and also the lord of Beiye City.
This old man in white, who always has an arrogance, is naturally Cai Lanting, the second master on the heavenly list and the first on the sword list.
Cai Lanting sat down and asked, "How did you guess it was mine when I didn't come in?"
"Hehe, although Mr. is restrained, I can sense a thing or two when I get closer, but I don't come in when I get to the door, and I don't let the guards report it, I have to send someone to ask, among the masters in this world, except for you Cai Lanting will do this kind of thing, who else will be?" Gu Shenfei's tone was slightly ridiculous.
At this time, a young maid walked to the pavilion with two cups of tea and placed a cup on the stone table in front of them.
Seeing that Cai Lanting didn't speak, Gu Shenfei asked with a smile: "Mr. Cai came from afar, I don't know what advice you have?"
"I just wanted to see if your martial arts realm had improved, and now it seems that it is really not bad as I expected, it seems that this river and lake really has a wave of luck pouring in, otherwise you and I have been stagnant in the Heavenly Dao Realm for so many years, why did you touch the realm of the void at the same time?"
After Cai Lanting finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip gently.
Gu Shenfei smiled: "Even if you really have luck, wouldn't it be a good thing that the silent rivers and lakes will become lively again?
Cai Lanting said in a deep voice: "Isn't this matter serious enough?"
Gu Shenfei said: "Before, I heard a rumor that the old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was afraid that the martial artists would not obey the control, so he stepped on the rivers and lakes, incorporated the sects, and killed the forbidden martial arts...... Is it true that this horse is stepping on the rivers and lakes, is it true that it is also true to say that luck? I don't really believe in this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing. ”
The corners of Cai Lanting's mouth raised slightly, "It's true, the country has luck, and the rivers and lakes also have luck, for the people in the Xuanmen, these are things that can be seen and touched, and I can tell you that there were three Xuanmen masters who slashed the luck of the rivers and lakes back then, and I knew one of them." The rivers and lakes all say that Cai's sword book and Xuanqi are the best in the world, and the kung fu of this Xuanmen is passed down from the hands of that master. ”
Gu Shenfei said coldly: "Hehe, you are also a person in the rivers and lakes, is it possible that you also think that the luck of the rivers and lakes should be extinct?"
Cai Lanting couldn't deny it, "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, if the world is peaceful, the rivers and lakes should not have so much luck, I think Emperor Taizu is right." ”
"But I don't think so. Gu Shenfei sighed, "Okay, if Mr. came today just to tell me this, then you can leave, and I won't be far away." ”
Cai Lanting was not angry, and snorted coldly, "The reason why Emperor Taizu dominated the world back then was also because of the luck of the rivers and lakes before he took advantage of the situation. If one day, a large army will come to the city, and someone will step on your Kitano Castle...... Hehe...... I'm afraid it's too late!"
When Gu Shenfei heard this, his face changed.
