Dongfang Nuannuan saw the person clearly, crossed his hands on his chest, and slowly knelt down in front of the black-clothed swordsman, "Meet Lord Shoujian." ”

"Have you entered the Water Moon Cave?"

There was too much movement tonight, and the black-clothed swordsman was able to find this place, and Dongfang Nuannuan couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he simply admitted: "Exactly." ”

"Everything that will happen will come. ”

Dongfang Nuannuan didn't dare to slack off, so she actually entered the Shuiyue Cave Heaven and told the black-clothed swordsman in detail, but she secretly kept a thought and hid Xiao Jinyan's companionship, only mentioning the mountain in the cave sky, not the things on the top of the mountain.

After listening quietly, the black-clothed swordsman looked at her again and said, "You lied. Enter the hole of nothingness, and no one will survive it. ”

Dongfang Nuannuan was shocked in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest emotion, "My subordinates are trapped in the hole of the void, I don't know the sun and the moon, and there is a chaos, I thought that I would not see the light of day in this life, and I was unable to serve the sacred mountain anymore, maybe it was the grace of the Heavenly Dao, and after staying for a few years, a door was opened in the realm of nothingness." Only then was his subordinates able to escape. ”

She raised her hand and swore, "Everything that my subordinates say is true, if there is half a lie, please punish the Supreme Heavenly Dao!"

The black-clothed swordsman said, "The Supreme Heavenly Dao is still asleep. I ask you, where is the nameless spear?"

"Stayed in the Water Moon Cave Heaven. ”

The black-clothed swordsman sighed, "It seems that we can only wait for Heavenly Dao to wake up, and then ask him to come and get it in person." Remember, tonight's events should not be mentioned to anyone unless Heavenly Dao asks them personally. ”

"Where's Lord Jianzun?"

"No, you can't. ”

Although Dongfang Nuan Nuan didn't know why, she still agreed: "My subordinates understand." ”

The black-clothed swordsman said, "You are too scheming, you are not effective, and you have ruined the major affairs of the Divine Mountain, it seems that Lord Jianzun chose Li Jinghong instead of you back then, not for no reason." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan was angry in her heart, although she covered it up well, she was still caught by the black-clothed swordsman, he said coldly, "I rushed here from Suzhou in half a day, four thousand miles before and after, and now that the vitality is exhausted, if you are not angry in your heart, just shoot at me." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan showed a frightened face, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Haha!" the black-clothed swordsman laughed, "even though you are wrong, you have one advantage, that is, self-knowledge. He also said: "1900 betrayed the way of heaven, have you seen him?"

Dongfang Nuannuan truthfully informed the black-clothed swordsman about Xi Chu.

The black-clothed swordsman nodded, "I was ordered by the Sword Venerable to go down the mountain and clear the portal. As long as you do your best, you will still have a chance to enter the sacred mountain, and when the time comes, I will sponsor you. ”

A cold word came from behind him, "Do you know that Fang Cai's words cost you your life?"

The black-clothed swordsman turned around and saw a Mai-clothed sword cultivator standing barefoot not far away, looking at him with an unkind expression, "Nineteen Zero?

Mai Jian cultivated, "It's been a while, I wasn't sure to make a move, but seeing that you didn't notice my existence, you are still trying to win over a woman under the Three Realms." This half-day rush has brought you your life. The Central Plains saying is 'a thousand miles to send', that's what it means, right?"

Dongfang Nuannuan had met him a few times in the Xichu Imperial Palace, but this time she didn't expect to appear here, and she hadn't seen her for a few months, she felt that Mai Jianxiu seemed to be a little different from before, at least there were more words than before.

"By the way, now my name is Wangcai, and 1900 is a thing of the past. ”

The black-clothed swordsman said angrily, "You are just a minion in the mountains, if you dare to talk to me like this, if Lord Sword Venerable knows, he will definitely not spare you." ”

"First, Sword Venerable sent you to kill me, whether he knows it or not, he will not spare me. Second, you have selfish intentions in this matter, and I can't tolerate you. ”

In this world, the people on Shujian Mountain can easily do it by virtue of their cultivation, and they can easily do it in an instant, but traveling four thousand miles in half a day, except for the Heavenly Dao and the Sword Venerable, it is absolutely impossible to wear and tear.

"You can try. ”

Wangcai's hand had already grasped the long sword, and his eyes were firmly locked on the black-clothed swordsman, this swordsman who had the opportunity to become a sword defender, now facing a real sword keeper, the hand holding the sword, it was inevitable that he was a little trembling.

The black-clothed swordsman had a few thoughts in his heart, and finally took a step back and slowly drew his long sword.

Dongfang Nuannuan flashed to the side, but she didn't expect that two people from Shujian Mountain would actually do it in front of her eyes.

The black-clothed swordsman moved, and instead of stabbing at Wangcai, his sword slashed through the void, preparing to perform the art of escape. As Wangcai predicted, he was in a hurry today, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he was not sure of winning.

This is also the only chance for Wangcai.

It was even said that after he killed the four sword cultivators, he had already expected that the general of Shujian Mountain would send someone to hunt him down, and he was sneaking here, waiting for this opportunity.

Space distorted.

The black-clad swordsman rushed towards that place, in his current state, he could not defeat Wangcai, his only thought was to escape from here, and when he regained his strength, he would fight him again.

Wangcai and his sword also stabbed over there in an instant.

Burst!

The black-clothed swordsman snorted, splashing a bright red blood mist, and when he was about to step into the law space, Wangcai slashed down with a sword, dividing everything in that space into two.

The black-clothed swordsman looked panicked and fell ten feet away.

The plan to escape, failed.

He slowly got up, ready to fight Wangcai to the death.

Wangcai said slowly, "Today, you are not my opponent. ”

"I have the ability to restore my combat strength, and tomorrow, you and I will fight again. ”

"I said so much, you still don't understand?" Wang Cai said, "You have no tomorrow." ”

With that, he stabbed another sword.

There was a sense of fear in the eyes of the black-clothed swordsman, but there was no way back at this moment, he almost used all his strength, poured into the long sword, and stabbed at Wangcai.

Two rays of light shot out from the two swords.

The two dodged by.

After Wangcai landed, he took a few steps forward, and he was hit by a sword on the outside of his thigh, and the blue blood slowly dripped down, and the sword of the black-clothed swordsman could hit his vital point as long as it was a few inches off.

The black-clothed swordsman was full of horror, "You actually practiced Lu Xuanji's Easy Sword." ”

Wangcai smiled, "He once taught me this sword, but I didn't have feelings at the time, and I couldn't comprehend the way of escape, but now, I understand." ”

The black-clothed swordsman fell on his back.

Countless True Elements were released from his body and returned to heaven and earth.

In the Sword Mountain, the sword-guarding statue under the statue of Emperor Shakti collapsed violently.

Wangcai said to himself, "In this world, I'm afraid that martial arts are about to rise." ”

Dongfang Nuan Nuan looked in her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"In the Sword Mountain, a sword keeper can reach a great master outside the three realms, the emperor has fallen, this martial arts will be returned to the world, you have the best opportunity, the cultivation method is special, and you can get a large share. ”

"What about you?"

"Our sword cultivation method is different from yours, this luck is not beneficial to me, otherwise, these dozen sword guards have already been killed by four hundred sword cultivators in the Book Sword Mountain. ”

"You mean that the rivers and lakes will reappear five hundred years ago?"

Wangcai shook his head, "Even if the nineteen sword guards are killed, it will not be the same as five hundred years ago, after all, seventy percent of the world's martial arts have been taken away by Lu Xuanji, and now they are hidden in Wang Banxian's body, which is the reason why Shenshan listed him as the second strongest enemy in the mountain." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan asked, "What about you, senior?"

Wangcai conceitedly said, "It should be among the top three." ”

"Who's the first?"

Wangcai shook his head, "I don't know, this question is probably only available to Heavenly Dao and Sword Venerable." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan was still puzzled, "You took the nameless gun that day, took him away, and went to open the Water Moon Cave Heaven, why did you ask me to help Xiao Jinyan?"

"I don't know. But I really can't find anyone else. ”

"Why him?"

Wangcai thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Maybe he invited me to drink. ”

This answer obviously didn't make Dongfang Nuannuan believe it, but she didn't continue to ask, and there was no need to ask. In this transaction, she helped Jian Xiu, and Jian Xiu helped Xiao Jinyan, so she helped Xiao Jinyan, and everything about Shujian Mountain and Shuiyue Cave Heaven, as well as possible things, was told to her by this Jian Xiu.

"I'm leaving, don't let anyone know about today's events, or you will be killed. ”

"Where are the seniors going?"

Wangcai said, "I'm going to Dingzhou, there is someone to kill, she won't die, I'm not at ease." With that, the figure flashed and disappeared into the swaggering mountain.

Dongfang Nuan Nuan looked at where Jian Xiu was standing, undecided.

She has always wanted to become a sword keeper and pursue the path of immortality, but these days, she has figured out a lot, even if she becomes a sword keeper, she is just following in the footsteps of Li Jinghong. If you want to surpass her, you have to take a completely different path.

At this moment, Jian Xiu found her.

She agreed without hesitation.

This was not a big gamble, but a decision she made after considering the attitudes of several major forces in the world. When the way of heaven comes, whether it is Wang Banxian, Yuwen Tianlu, or Li Chuntie, these people who can determine the trend of the world, although they adopt different ways and treat them, they are all related to one person.

That is Xiao Jinyan.

There must be some information and clues that she didn't know, so she once used Xiao Jinyan's life experience to test him, but he didn't understand the reason. In the attitude of several major forces, find the person at the core of the matter, and then unswervingly choose to fight side by side with him, in order to finally obtain the maximum benefits.

Dongfang Nuannuan's previous mistake was that she was a refined egoist who had to fight for her rights and interests in everything, and the final possible outcome was that the agency was too clever and lost her life.

In the realm of nothingness, Dongfang Nuannuan completely figured out these things, so she chose Xiao Jinyan. This choice was a deliberate decision she made.

It took her "ten years" to make this choice.

Here in the swaggering mountains, full of vitality, she slowly sat down.

In the Book Sword Mountain, the Emperor Shi Tian Shou Sword Man fell.

On this day, among the rivers and lakes, there are countless martial artists who have been promoted to Zhixuan.

On this day, on the rivers and lakes, there were more than a dozen Tongxiang masters, and among them, Xichu benefited the most.

……

When Xiao Jinyan and Lu Gongzi walked out of Zhaoyao Mountain, they met the oncoming Li Chengcheng, and the two dismounted and came to a bear hug.

"I always thought that you would die in this mountain, and I was worried about going out of my way to see you before leaving, so as not to become a tooth sacrifice for lone wolves and crows in the wilderness. ”

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "I recaptured the sword spectrum for you, and you haven't repaid me for this kindness, how dare I die easily?"

Li Chengcheng glanced left and right a few times, but didn't see Yuwenshuang, "What about Miss Yuwen?"

Xiao Jinyan couldn't tell Yuwen Tianlu that he was still alive, but only told him that Yuwenshuang was picked up by a senior in the rivers and lakes and went to a safe place. Now, the entire court is looking for her, and he has important things to do, so he has to be separated for a while.

"Li Chengcheng, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Jinling with you. ”

Li Tingcheng said with a smile, "I got back the sword spectrum of the sword of Allure, this time I went back to Jinling to worship my ancestors, and by the way, I went to fight for the position of the head of the family, if I am accompanied by you, it will be a great help for me." ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless, "You want me to be a thug for you?"

"Don't say it so badly. Li Chengcheng said, "When the time comes, my Li family's money will not be your Xiao Jinyan's money?"

Xiao Jinyanqi said, "It turns out that you have never been interested in the position of the head of the family, why did you suddenly change your temperament again?"

"People change. Li Chengcheng said, "Besides, I promised the golden bottle to marry her back home openly." ”

"I've known you for so many years, but I didn't expect that the third young master of the Li family in Jinling, who has always been bohemian, suddenly turned into an amorous seed, which is really surprising!"

Li Chengcheng said, "In the past, I was dedicated to the pursuit of kendo and the rivers and lakes, but my heart was always like duckweed, no landing, after knowing the little master, I felt that I had found the sustenance and hope in my heart, and in the year I left, I also missed her day and night." ”

"You're a lover, I can't talk about you. ”

Li Chengcheng asked again, "Why did you go to Jinling?"

"Go find out where I came from. Xiao Jinyan said, "For as long as I can remember, my senior brother has never mentioned my parents, but I accidentally learned that the secret of my life experience may be hidden in Jinling City. ”

Li Chengcheng thought for a moment and said, "No one will tell you that you are the descendant of which prince you were five hundred years ago, right? As far as I know, among the seventy-two princes, there seems to be no one surnamed Xiao. ”

"Who knows?"

While chatting, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a vision between heaven and earth, with Zhaoyao Mountain as the center, countless heaven and earth true elements spread outward.

Li Chengcheng sensed, "What happened to you in the mountains?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't know what happened in the swaggering mountains after he left, but he knew that something special must have happened between such an abundant spread of true qi and heaven and earth.

The nameless gun behind him sensed the existence of true qi and suddenly flickered.

Lu Gongzi fluttered, his hooves were facing the sky, and his two big eyes were closed, like a cultivator, he had also settled into the past.

Li Chengcheng stood still.

Only Xiao Jinyan, his practice method is different from everyone else, other people's meridian qi sea dantian, like a reservoir, when practicing and breathing, the internal force is stored in the body, and it can be released when fighting. And Xiao Jinyan's sea of qi does not have true yuan, and the meridians are like canals, when he starts his hands, he also uses string force to introduce the true yuan into his body, and then use it after transformation. In other words, he does not have a true element in his body, or only a small amount of true element. Although the newly generated three strings could sense the true elements of heaven and earth, they could not claim them as their own.

After a long time, Li Tingcheng said lightly: "I broke through again." ”

"Corridor Realm?"

"Upper middle. ”

Lu Gongzi woke up, it became much more lively, and his hair became much smoother, but the pieces of leprosy on his body were still flashing.

Li Chengcheng's horse looked at Lu Gongzi with fear, and couldn't help but retreat.

"Fool, this is a stallion. Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but slap Lu Gongzi, only to feel that a backlash bounced him back, and he was stunned, "Knowing the Xuan Realm?"

Li Qingcheng said, "I didn't expect that it was still a donkey who could practice." ”

Lu Gongzi Ang Ang shouted twice.

Xiao Jinyan said, "In this case, it seems that there is no need to feed too good feed in the future, anyway, I will vomit, and when I have the opportunity, I will find some exercises such as Bigu and tell you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Gongzi was quite dissatisfied and hit Xiao Jinyan with his head, as if to warn Xiao Jinyan that this dragon species is a critical period of cultivation, no meat is not happy, no female donkey is not happy, if you continue like this, this dragon seed will leave you.

The two traveled for a long time, and met a caravan composed of more than ten camels on the way, and they were all dressed as Hu merchants.

After inquiring, I learned that they were merchants from the Western Regions, and because they heard about the duty-free policy of Hidden Yang City, they were preparing to transport the goods to Hidden Yang City for distribution. In the past, they traveled back and forth to the Central Plains twice a year to transport goods to Xi'an or Beijing, and were exploited layer by layer.

Nowadays, Yinyang City and Stone Town have established distribution centers, although the price is slightly lower than that of the Central Plains, but firstly, it saves a lot of travel, and can go back and forth three times a year, secondly, the new policy of the city lord's mansion, and the land for them to build storage, and thirdly, it saves the risk of too long a journey.

So they're happy to do the same.

It can be expected that as a border trade city, Yinyang will become a rising emerging city within a few years.

Li Chengcheng has a more long-term view.

In this way, Zhao Lanjiang is afraid that he will be in trouble. ”

"Why?"

"Whether it is border trade or smuggling, they are all industries with huge profits, and our Li family is also involved in a lot, and the interests involved are intertwined and unclear. These new policies implemented by Lao Zhao in Yinyang City are profitable for Yinyang City, but they have cut off the financial routes of many people in the Central Plains and even in the capital, and they will inevitably provoke many enemies. He is in a high position and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if there is a villain who takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion. ”

Xiao Jinyan was silent.

Hidden Sun City is in sight.

Li Chengcheng asked, "Do you want to say goodbye to him?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "It's like seeing each other." On that day, although his move was already merciful, the love between us was also exhausted. ”

He also has a last resort, and if he can do this, he has already risked offending his colleagues in the world, and even will lay the root of Yinyang. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "I don't blame him. ”

After that, he patted Lu Gongzi, and Lu Gongzi was in pain and ran into the distance.

Li Chengcheng also shook his head with a wry smile and chased after him.

Distance.

Zhao Lanjiang stood at the head of Yinyang City, with three glasses of red water wine in front of the table, looked at the two horses running into the distance in the distance, silently picked up a glass, and drank it.

Chishui wine is bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet.

Zhao Lanjiang's heart is bitter, how can he taste this sweetness?

He slowly sprinkled two glasses of wine under the city walls.

A cup for tomorrow, a glass for the past.

Zhao Lanjiang said: "Respect the two brothers. ”

The sun is setting, and the sunset is like fire.
