Volume 1 The First Journey into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 43 Half-Step Grandmaster

The torrential rain was still falling, and the water was already spilling over the top of the feet.

After being silent for a long time, Zuo Xuan sighed: "Dao Chief, this son has killed my second brother, and my father is avenging my second brother, please don't meddle in this matter." ”

The down-and-out old man sneered: "I want to take this kid as an apprentice, but you want to kill him, you say, I don't care?"

Zuo Xuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, don't laugh, these two are the remnants of Western Chu, and Dao Chang is a native of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, how can he be accepted as an apprentice!"

The down-and-out old Dao didn't look at him, just looked up at Xu Zhaonan, and looked abusive: "The heir to the mantle of the poor Dao, whether to accept it or not, what do you have to do with it?"

Zuo Xuan's face sank, and the five fingers holding the Qianshan Sword were a little pale, as if he was measuring the possibility of one against two.

As for Yun Ao beside him, Zuo Xuan automatically excluded him.

Seeing that Zuo Xuan was silent, the down-and-out old Taoist refused to let him go, and continued: "If you people in Shuicheng except for the second Zuo who is too forgetful, how can everyone else be like fighting cocks, and everyone wants to poke two swords?"

Zuo Xuan was still angered by the down-and-out Taoist after all.

After all, as a person from Ruoshui City, someone insulted the teacher in front of him, and even scolded the family teacher in and out of the words. If you turn a blind eye at this moment, how can you be worthy of being a disciple of Ruoshui City, how can you be a disciple of Master!

"Yu Jiangang!"

Zuo Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "You! Find! Die!"

After listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Zhaonan secretly wondered in his heart, it turned out that this was a down-and-out old man who didn't know who Xu was, and his real name was Yu Jiangang.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Zuo Xuan's speed was extremely astonishing, and he slashed out a few sword lights in the rain curtain.

The down-and-out old man stood in place with disdain, motionless.

The sword light swept over the down-and-out old Dao, and Xu Zhaonan, who was watching from the sidelines, broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Xu Zhaonan blinked in disbelief - although the sword light passed through his body, it did not mark a trace of blood.

The down-and-out figure gradually dissolved into nothingness.

Afterimage!

"Look, as the poor road said, you are all a group of fighting cocks in Ruoshui City!"

The sound of stopping drinking is overwhelming, making it impossible to tell where the speaker is for a while.

Zuo Xuan lost the trace of his opponent, and he didn't panic, he slowly closed his eyes, spread the sword intent all over his body, and felt it with his heart.

Suddenly, Zuo Xuan opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light!

Swing your sword and slash at a willow tree on the left!

Boom.

The willow tree was slashed to pieces by the sword qi, and the endless willow branches exploded into sawdust!

But the sawdust did not fall, it hung in the air as if time stood still, floating quietly.

Seeing this, Zuo Xuan showed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, such a manipulative power could not be used by a non-grandmaster.

The down-and-out Taoist has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and others don't know where he went, but the people of Ruoshui City do!

This Taoist priest was originally from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and ten years ago, because he made a big mistake, he was tested for ten years by King Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

The suffering of this whole ten years of imprisonment is not so easy, even if he cultivated to the world ten years ago, and today, it is already a great luck not to regress, how can he easily break through the grandmaster!

It's just a Taoist trick!

Suddenly, the sawdust moved.

Turning around in pieces, the wooden tip pointed to Zuo Xuan, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired!

With a sneer on the corner of Zuo Xuan's mouth, the Qianshan Sword in his hand danced a sword flower, stirring up the rain curtain to attack the sawdust, and he still used that trick - Sword Flower Water Moon!

He wanted to see if it was the illusion of this down-and-out old way, or the Ruoshui sword magic that he had learned from his master!

The rain sword and the wooden sword converged in one place, and exploded into a dark cloud.

Zuo Xuan held his breath and condensed, guessing that the down-and-out old Taoist would definitely come out of the dark clouds.

"Hai'er be careful!"

Behind him, Yun Ao's eyes widened and he shouted in horror.

When Zuo Xuan heard this, he secretly screamed badly, and his legs that wanted to dodge suddenly stiffened.

He could clearly feel that there was a sharp object behind him, right behind him, and if he dared to make any movement, he was afraid that it would immediately penetrate his body.

No matter how strong the master is, if his heart is pierced, there will be only one end!

The sharp qi machine made Zuo Xuan's heart beat for a while.

Zuo Xuan, who is one of the top ten masters, didn't even take this down-and-out old trick!

Maybe it's the time of a stick of incense, maybe it's just a moment.

Zuo Xuan, who lived like a year, didn't know how long it took, and suddenly felt that the qi machine behind him had disappeared.

He took a deep breath, slowly turned his stiff neck, and looked at the down-and-out old man.

The old way is still the same as when he first appeared, with his hands in his sleeves, the floating dust obliquely inserted in his arms, looking at Zuo Xuan with interest, and the corners of his mouth are still the cynical ridicule.

"Grandmaster Realm?!"

Zuo Xuan said in disbelief.

"What?!"

Yun Ao was so frightened that he took a step back, he didn't expect that what was supposed to be a chase and kill would lead to a master of the Grandmaster Realm, and it seemed that he was not a friend or foe, how could this be good!

At this moment, Yun Ao only has remorse in his heart, he has already lost a son, this time he took his eldest son to seek revenge together, do you want to lose another son?!

No!

If Hai'er dies, the Yun family is not only the last one, it will be annihilation!

Xu Zhaonan and the three people in the pile of remnants of the willows also saw this scene, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Xu Zhaonan asked in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, is he a grandmaster?"

I heard Zuo Xuan mention the name of the down-and-out Taoist, saying that his name was Yu Jiangang, it turned out that he was not Situ Qun, in this world, are there four grandmasters?!

Gu Sihai's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's like a grandmaster, but it's not like it, it should just touch the threshold of the grandmaster, and it can barely be counted as a half-step grandmaster." ”

Touching the threshold of the Grandmaster?Half-step Grandmaster?That shouldn't be far behind, right?Xu Zhaonan thought of it, and then asked, "Then who is he?"

Gu Sihai took a deep breath: "The first of the top ten masters ten years ago, the sword wine Taoist - Yu Jiangang!"

There are ten masters in the world, Xu Zhaonan knows it, he still thinks that the strength of these ten people is among the best, and now what is the matter with the sudden emergence of the head of the top ten masters?

"I've heard Master say that the Sword Wine Daoist was already invincible within a grade ten years ago?" Su Yurou stood behind Xu Zhaonan and interjected softly.

Gu Sihai glanced at her, and then glanced at Xu Zhaonan, his expression was inexplicable, he didn't know that this woman was the Su family he saved a few years ago, just as she was Ye Qingge's apprentice, and Ye Qingge had an old relationship with the mastermother. nodded at Su Yurou in a friendly manner: "Not bad." This person was invincible in the first rank ten years ago, so he was the first of the ten masters at that time! When everyone thought that there would be one more grandmaster in the world, he suddenly disappeared into the rivers and lakes. It is rumored that he made a big mistake back then, and was willing to be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect by Xu Yinjun, the king of Northern Zhou Yong, and fed poison for ten years. Unexpectedly, this release, the skill did not fall, but rose sharply, I am afraid that it is not far from the realm of the grandmaster. ”

"There is no opponent in one product!"

No wonder he is invincible, no wonder he said that it was caused by poison, Xu Zhaonan sighed: "He is such a powerful character, why was he imprisoned in the dungeon by King Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and actually tortured him for ten years?"

Gu Sihai said uncertainly: "It is said that he lost the royal bloodline of the Northern Zhou Dynasty - the second son of King Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty......"

The royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty may be the reason why the heavens do not favor it, and the blood has always been thin, and most of the time it has been passed down for thousands of years, and occasionally there is a twin, which will lead the whole country of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to celebrate.

In the past few generations of emperors, they were all only sons, and finally when they arrived at the first emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were two brothers, Xu Yinde and Xu Yinjun, which are now the Northern Zhou Emperor and King Yong.

It's ridiculous to say that now the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the second son of the previous emperor, and if the elders and young were divided in an orderly manner, he should not sit on the ninety-five throne, so the two brothers also had a big quarrel over the throne - not to inherit the throne, but to avoid the throne.

Just because hundreds of years ago, there was a master of Xuandao who became enlightened in Taiheng Mountain to measure the heavenly opportunity for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and said that the life of the Xu family was too light, and if he forcibly inherited the throne, he would have a short life and an orphan.

There are also rumors in the market that on the day of the death of the first emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xu Yinde, who was the king of Zhao, and Xu Yinjun, the king of Yong, were two brothers, who hid in the house and guessed the throne - the one who lost became the emperor.

Naturally, the losing Zhao Wangye was full of helplessness and sat on the pure gold dragon seat that countless people dreamed of.

And after the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty ascended to the throne, no matter how he was crowned a concubine, he only got the crown prince so far.

Although the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not like other countries, there are fewer tragedies of power tilting and fratricide, but it is also at risk of having no successor.

Maybe it's the reason why things are going to be reversed, although the old Xu family is thin, but every generation has worked hard, and when Xu Yinde ascended the throne, he united with Dongsheng to destroy the strong enemy Xichu, and divided the world into two.

However, after Xu Yinjun, the king of Nayong, escaped the throne, he gave birth to another son, and so far, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty arrived in this generation, he had a third prince, which was regarded as breaking the prophecy of the Xuandao master hundreds of years ago.

Legend has it that on the day of the birth of the second son of King Yong, there seems to be a vast purple gas coming from the East China Sea, lingering in the capital, and it will not disperse for a long time.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty celebrated, and the emperor was even more happy to grant amnesty to the world, and regarded this son as the beginning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty royal family.

Not only that, but also assigned the Northern Zhou National Teacher, Yu Jiangang, who was the head of the top ten masters at that time, to protect him every step of the way.

Xu is heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, men in this era, three wives and four concubines are commonplace, not to mention the thin imperial family, thinking that the prophecy was cracked by himself After King Yong got a second son, he moved his mind to take a concubine and found a stunning beauty, intending to carry the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the Northern Zhou royal family on his shoulders.

No one knew that the originally gentle and elegant Princess Yong turned out to be a fierce character, seeing that her husband had a new love, she was surprised that on the day of King Yong's concubine, when the palace feasted, she took advantage of the fact that everyone in the palace was drunk - with her young son who was still in swaddling clothes, and ran away.

At the banquet, Yu Jiangang, who had no wine or joy, was naturally among them, and he was drunk and hazy, and he didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't even realize that the person he was protecting was gone.

It wasn't until the next day, when the servants in the palace made a report, that King Yong learned of this, and in a fit of rage, he personally beheaded Xinna's beautiful concubine and ordered a nationwide search for the whereabouts of the princess.

The royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is unlucky, in the huge world, there are so many women holding children, and it is not difficult to hide a princess Yong.

Even Yu Jiangang, who has the means of knowing everything at his fingertips, has been looking for three years all over the world, but he has not been able to find the person, and under shame and anger, he voluntarily let King Yong dispose of it.

King Yong, who was furious, naturally did not be polite to him, and immediately put Yu Jiangang, who was derelict in his duties, into the prison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, imprisoned for ten years, and tortured day and night.

I didn't expect that the ten years of prison would make him happen, the so-called unintentional insertion of willows and willows, that's it.

"This little beggar seems to be surnamed Xu, but he is the same age as the little prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Gu Sihai thought of this, turned his head to look at Xu Zhaonan, who was already as tall as himself, and then shook his head secretly, not knowing what he was thinking, how could this little beggar who was dirty when he first saw him, how could he have a little royal demeanor.
