Shendu, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where Shenzhou's luck gathers, a continuous palace sits in the middle to suppress the world. In a side hall, two old men with gray sideburns were playing chess.

"I didn't expect that the national teacher who counted all the world, the guide of the Dragon Emperor, turned out to be a stinky chess basket. "The black-bearer has a square face, is not angry, and sits in front of the chessboard, his waist is straight, the official robe is extremely harsh, and there is no trace of wrinkles, and he picks up a son and slaughters the opponent a big dragon while speaking.

"The patriarch of Confucianism, the Zaifu of the Imperial Dynasty, is such an impersonal guy, since he sees that I am not good at chess, and he doesn't let me end a game in less than half an hour, it's really boring. The person who held the white was dressed in a plain white shirt and lay on his side with his head on his hand, and when he saw that the defeat was decided, he yawned and waved his hand, and the whole game of black and white flew back to the chess box.

"This game might as well go first. The Confucian made a gesture of please, and Ce Tianji was not polite, and with a flick of his finger, a black child flew straight from the chess box to Tianyuan.

"Your hand is really interesting, if I hadn't played against you earlier, I would have thought you were a chess master and disdained me. But don't people like you all use heaven and earth as chess games and common people as chess pieces, why are chess skills so bad? The Confucian man smiled, and did not fall into the air, but just looked at the opponent.

"Old man Yue, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, the world is the world, and chess is chess. If you look at the chess pieces raised in the palace, do they know what it means to be in the government and the people's livelihood? I don't know where you heard these strange words and strange theories to bury me. Ce Tianji looked cynical, grabbed the teapot in front of the case and poured it directly into his mouth.

Yue Qingsong, who has been in the same dynasty for many years, knows the temperament of the heavens, and he is not angry when he hears this: "What you say is reasonable and unreasonable, a good person who plays chess may not necessarily govern the world, but a person who knows the world wants to play this small game of chess well, and it will not be difficult to think with a dim sum." ”

Ce Tianji straightened up and looked at his opponent for a while, and changed the topic and said: "You are not at home with your granddaughter today, why do you have the leisure to come to me to accompany me this bad old man, that girl looks quite aura, what is it called?"

"Qu Yinghong. At the mention of this, Yue Qingsong's face sank.

"Hey, don't keep a straight face, I know you don't like your son-in-law, but I can see that you're quite satisfied with this girl, what's the matter, make you angry?"

"In this list, my daughter Bingqing was selected, and their family was reunited not long after, and I couldn't bear to separate them, so I added the names of Qu Feng and Yinghong. ”

Ce Tianji's face was strange when he heard this, and he said with a strange smile: "What a strict Confucian supreme leader, he is really ruthless enough, he can add a name but not remove a name, you don't know what the situation is there." ”

"Hehe, there are still a few years left or right, and my family's affairs are not bothered, but when it comes to ruthlessness, I can't compare to you. Yue Qingsong took a sip of tea: "I came here today to play chess with you, just to see you for the last time, after today, I will be exiled for thousands of miles, but it doesn't seem bad for you." ”

"What do you mean!" Ce Tianji slapped the chessboard in anger, and the case turned into powder.

"Hmph, what do I mean? Did you release the news of the merman's tears, did you pick up His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and did you arrange the candidates for the ship?" Yue Qingsong did not move, glared angrily, and asked three times in a row: "Now that you don't see people alive or dead, you don't see corpses, how do you explain it?"

Hearing this, Ce Tianji lowered his head and let out a long sigh: "Long Yuan is a good boy, but his heart is too good to be the helmsman of the dynasty, I am doing this for his good and for the world." ”

"For his good, for the world's plan? Ridiculous! The Dragon Emperor's breakthrough and ascension are imminent, and the prince has not yet been established, and those ministers have stood in line, why are you so confused, in terms of status is better than me, and in terms of strength, you are among the top ten masters in the world, what else do you have to seek, are you also blinded by desire?" Yue Qingsong was furious, and was loudly scolding when he suddenly heard the eunuch come to report: "Your Majesty's command, summon the national teacher." ”

Before Ce Tianji could respond, he heard a majestic word: "No need, I am here in person." As soon as the words fell, a five-clawed golden dragon came through the clouds and mist, and after a burst of dragon groans, the dragon qi dissipated, and an immortal figure stood in front of Ce Tianji.

"Aiqing is also here, it's good, idle people, wait, retreat. Long Xuan looked at Yue Qingsong and Ce Tianji, and waved his hand at the back.

After all the maids and eunuchs retreated, Long Xuan looked down at Cetianji, who was kneeling in front of him, his expression changed and his eyes were complicated, and after a long time, he asked, "Yuan'er is really dead?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there are no survivors of the Reincarnation Sea Disaster. ”

"What special plan does the national teacher have?" Long Xuan was still unwilling, why did the teacher who had promoted himself step by step to the Ninety-Five Honor do such a thing to separate his flesh and blood.

"Back to Your Majesty, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Ce Tianji still lowered his head, and although his voice was sad, there was no trace of hesitation.

"You ......" Long Xuan pointed to the heavens, but it was difficult for the teacher who treated him like a parent to say a word, and after a while, he said dejectedly: "I have prepared a house in Nanzhanglin, where the green waters and green mountains are very suitable for teachers to live in their old age." ”

"Your Majesty, don't you trust the old minister anymore?" Although Ce Tianji had been mentally prepared, he was still very sad that the Great Zhou Dragon Emperor, who had been obedient to him for many years, was estranged from him for the first time.

"I only believe in the strength in my hands. Long Xuan's words made Cetianji's heart like ashes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. After Ce Tianji kowtowed, he got up and said to Yue Qingsong: "Lord Zaifu, I hope you will not forget your original intention and assist the Dragon Emperor in creating a foundation for all generations." ”

Yue Qingsong's brows were furrowed, at this time, he didn't understand what the Heavenly Opportunity was for, and while still thinking about it, he heard Long Xuan say: "You all leave, I want to be alone for a while." In addition, the news of Yuan'er's death is not allowed to leak out even a minute. ”

The two of them sighed and then retreated, leaving Long Xuan alone in the center of the hall, the light shining from the window, pulling his shadow extremely long. After more than ten breaths, Long Xuan suddenly said: "After all, he is my teacher, don't touch him, the attendants in this hall, deal with everything, the news of Wu'er's death must be blocked for me." And I'm in a very bad mood, so what kind of flowers, notify Mo Zhiyin, just get it down. ”

There was no answer, only a shadow flashed, and Long Xuan also waved his robe towards the dormitory.

No one knows about this royal turmoil, and at the same time, a gathering of young talents from all over the world will be held as scheduled, and the changes will begin at this time.

Heroes from all walks of life gathered one after another, and the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Divine Sword Sect who were hurrying to the road could not find the inn in succession, seeing that there was still one day before they arrived in the Divine Capital, and it was already night, under Bai Qiufeng's suggestion, Gong Mingyu simply arranged for everyone to camp and rest in the wilderness.

They are all people who have practiced martial arts all year round, and there are two acquired masters, so the robbers of the green forest who make ordinary people talk about it don't pay attention to it, and after raising a bonfire and distributing food, everyone chatted.

"Do you think there are any shortcomings?" Li Yuntian said to everyone, nibbling on the flatbread.

"What's missing?" Liu Yu saw through his careful thoughts at a glance and immediately echoed.

"Meat, how can we martial arts practitioners be strong and healthy without meat?" Li Yuntian saw that everyone nodded in agreement and said, "Why don't I go and fight two roe deer to relieve everyone's hunger." ”

Bai Qiufeng pondered for a moment: "Let Qingshuang come with you, but it's okay to eat meat, don't drink alcohol, I know that someone has secretly brought wine, but you can't relax a little before you reach the gods." ”

Gong Mingyu, an old naughty boy whose eyes were shining, was like a deflated ball when he heard this: "If you don't drink, you won't drink, who will you say?"

At this time, Li Yuntian had already jumped out like a monkey, and Ao Qingshuang raised his long sword and immediately followed. Ao Qingshuang, who caught up with Li Yuntian, saw that he was slowly looking for animal traces, and said curiously: "You still hunt?"

"What can't I?" Li Yuntian still lowered his head and slowly searched, but his mouth did not stop: "I can't imagine that Senior Brother asked the two of us to cooperate, is it because of rumors outside that we don't agree?"

"The mediocre are jealous of the capable, and naturally want us to fight each other. Ao Qingshuang said lightly: "But although you and I are not enemies, we are not friends. ”

"Phew, who's rare. Li Yuntian took a sip: "Look at your proud appearance like a winning rooster, tsk, so angry." ”

"Your yin and yang weird skills are useful to others, and I can't cause any waves. Ao Qingshuang was not annoyed, and slowly followed behind with a long sword in his arms.

The two of them were a few miles away from the camp unconsciously, and Li Yuntian suddenly shouted: "Wait!" Then he turned back to Ao Qingshuang and said with a serious face: "Did you hear that?"

Ao Qingshuang squatted down and listened, and soon determined that it was a woman's cry for help, he just wanted to stop Li Yuntian from being nosy, but Li Yuntian had already drawn his sword and rushed over as he wished. With a long sigh, Ao Qingshuang had no choice but to pull out his sword and chase after him.

didn't go far, the two saw a man untying his clothes with one hand and tearing the clothes of the woman who was pressed under him with the other, and noticed that someone was coming, the man looked up, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted at the two: "Who dares to disturb the good things of the master?"

"Whore!" Li Yuntian roared, raised his sword and stabbed, the man didn't expect the other party to be so bold, he was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, Ao Qingshuang helped the woman up, took off her coat, wrapped her well, and held her around her waist with one hand and a sword in the other, ready to support Li Yuntian at any time.

After the initial panic, the man tore off his half-stripped robe and drew a soft sword from his belt to parry. Although he has some ability, Li Yuntian's swordsmanship is so exquisite, and if he loses the opportunity, he will soon fall into the next risk.

However, after ten moves, Li Yuntian kicked him to the ground, and Li Yuntian pressed his sword against his throat so that he did not dare to move. The man was not in a hurry at this time, and pushed away the tip of Li Yuntian's sword with his hand and asked, "Lin Feiyu, the young master of the Sword Villa, dare to ask the names of the two high surnames." ”

Li Yuntian turned around and looked at Ao Qingshuang, obviously not having heard of it. Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lin Feiyu gritted his teeth and whispered: "Where did the hillbilly come from, I haven't even heard of my name Sword Villa." But he still forced a smile: "My name Sword Villa is a first-class sect in the world, I don't know what sect the two of you come from, he may be able to walk around each other and get close to each other one day." ”

Neither of them is a fool, where will they report their names and surnames at this time, Li Yuntian took two steps back with his sword, leaned back slightly, wanting to listen to Ao Qingshuang's opinion, "To prevent future troubles, kill!" The cold-blooded words made Li Yuntian excited, he had never killed anyone in his martial arts for several years, although this person was extremely shameless in committing adultery with a woman from a good family, but the crime was not to death, Li Yuntian thought about it and had made a decision, walked over and smiled at Lin Feiyu with a playful smile: "Why don't you castrate you today, so as not to create bad karma again." When the words fell, he was about to swing his sword, but Lin Feiyu didn't expect this person to be so ruthless, his face turned pale with fright, and he retreated again and again with both hands on the ground.

When the long sword was about to fall, a long knife shot straight at it to block it, Li Yuntian turned his head to look, and saw that under the night, Gu Qianyan, whose face was as heavy as water, rushed over.

Seeing Gu Qianyan's ghostly face, Lin Feiyu was even more distraught, but thinking that it seemed that he had saved him just now, his face eased a little.

"Who are you?" Gu Qianyan asked again, and his face became even more ugly after Lin Feiyu answered honestly. Lin Feiyu, who had been observing words and looking like human spirits since he was a child, knew that there was a play, and immediately got up, pointed at them and said, "The team of my famous Sword Villa is behind, if something happens to this young master, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Gu Qianyan, who was already clear about the original situation, said in a deep voice: "The Famous Sword Villa is the mainstay of the Martial Arts Alliance, and it is not possible to pretend to be a person who does not rest in various towns but falls in this mountain and wilderness forest, and acts misdeeds in this month and dark wind and high night as Your Excellency. ”

Although it was questioned, Lin Feiyu already knew that it was safe, so he took out a token and threw it over: "The affairs of the Famous Sword Villa are not up to you, regarding my identity, this token is unique to my village, and I don't know if you recognize it, as for my adulterous **." After laughing lewdly, he raised his chin lightly and said, "This woman is a member of the Demon Sect, so it's not too much to play around with it before interrogation." ”

Hearing the word Demon Sect, the three of them were all like great enemies, and the three pairs of eyes looked at the woman together, Li Yuntian saw the woman clearly, even if she was wrapped in Ao Qingshuang's coat, she still couldn't cover her proud figure, and the flushed cheeks under the moonlight made Li Yuntian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was really a charming bone, if it weren't for the tears in his eyes and the innocence of his eyes, I was afraid that he was really a fox who made people ecstasy.

The woman's hoarse voice, which had been shouted for too long, finally recovered after a short rest, and when she heard Lin Feiyu slandering herself like this, she shouted with tears: "Several young heroes Mingjian, the little woman Tianxin Pavilion Nie Wanhong, went to Shendu with the sect, passed by her hometown and returned to her hometown to visit relatives, and was captured by them on the way, I would never dare to have anything to do with the Demon Sect." ”

Ao Qingshuang listened to the pulse and found that she had already been pointed, and she was offended and solved the acupoint under the number of points between her ribs, and then pinched her wrist tightly to check the flow of true qi, and then nodded to the other two and said, "It is similar to our realm." ”

Lin Feiyu smiled disdainfully when he heard this woman's defense: "Could it be that I will slander you with the reputation of the Famous Sword Villa? If you are not convinced, why don't you go to the Shendu with us and hand it over to the imperial court for a good interrogation?"

Nie Wanhong's frightened delicate body trembled, tears were already covering her cheeks, and she knew that if she fell into his hands again, she didn't know what torture she should receive, only to see her tremble and say: "That Wanhong is willing to die to prove her innocence, and only ask the three young heroes to send my body back to the sect to protect my reputation." After speaking, he grabbed the sword body of Ao Qingshuang with one hand and wiped it straight to his neck.

How could Ao Qingshuang let her die such an innocent and tragic death, and with a strong thrust, Nie Wanhong's right hand was dripping with blood and sprinkled with the long sword. This woman was so strong that Gu Qianyan couldn't help but be moved, looked at the token in her hand and pondered for a long time, and then made a gesture to Lin Feiyu: "Young Lord Lin, Haihan, please delay here for a moment." After speaking, he pushed Nie Wanhong: "Give you a moment of effort, run for your life." ”

Lin Feiyu looked at Gu Qianyan with interest: "Seeing that your kid looks like a ghost or a ghost, there is a lot of careful thinking, okay, this young master will sell you a face today, just see each other in the future, but it is easy to change offense and defense." ”
