Fifty-ninth The Second Battle of the Night

The dead fish-eyed young man who was indifferent to the end of the matter slowly walked forward, compared to the two in front of him, he was quite polite, clasped his hands into fists and said, "My name is Dong Li." ”

After a break, he continued: "Please advise!"

The white-clothed young man who jumped down from the eaves of the roof also clenched his fists with both hands, "Jiang Huai, please advise." ”

In the imperial city, in front of a pair of bronze mirrors, Zhou Xun happened to be a little unsatisfied with the battle just now, and he never thought that there would be another one, but he didn't feel bored.

He raised his eyebrows, "That hat boy is also from the Pingtian Sword Palace?"

Dong Chenghu said indifferently: "It's a student of Shangde Academy." ”

Zhou Xun was a little puzzled, recalling that the handbook that recorded the name of the academy did not seem to have the name Jiang Huai.

The old eunuch Zhou Sheng said hoarsely: "If I guess correctly, that young man is the disciple that Kong Xin'an brought back from Beijing, and I have heard rumors from the students of the academy that his qualifications are very good." It is not yet the time to update the record once a year, so it is naturally not in the book. ”

The old eunuch turned to squint his eyes and look inside the youthful mansion, but his eyes were covered by nothingness, and he muttered to himself: "Even if there is that wooden card hidden in the body, it shouldn't have such magical powers, why can't you notice it, it's a little interesting." ”

In fact, not only do everyone not know much about Jiang Huai, even if it is the seventh manager on the hidden dragon list, few people still know the details.

The main thing is that he is silent and often stays at home, and the only impression left is the battle of Gu Baichuan in that year.

Although he lost badly at the time, he still left a deep impression on the observers.

The hidden dragon list written by the center of the imperial city positioned him in the seventh position in one fell swoop.

Although the hidden dragon list is not necessarily extremely accurate, it may be fully proved that this silent teenager is very good.

Dong Li's eyes were blank, making people feel as if they couldn't do anything.

His right hand slowly opened, and there was a golden light condensation in the palm of his hand, and a golden brush engraved with three points into the wood appeared in the palm of his hand, and the surrounding darkness was avoided for several feet.

The young man who could hold the golden pen was silent for a long time, closed his eyes and was silent, but after a while, he stretched his arms forward and made a gesture of please.

It's not that he's too proud, it's that he understands that even if the young man on the other side is eight hundred, now he can only condense two hundred at most, how can he talk about it.

Jiang Huai's face was as usual, and he didn't make the slightest excuse, compared to the last battle in He Ye in Nagaohai County, the young man's state of mind was a little calm.

The mood is bright, and the shot is easy.

He didn't choose to use the scabbard immediately, nor did he use the sun and moon, which he only had three chances now, but took out a piece of cyan rice paper from his close-fitting bag, quickly outlined the word "Breaking" with two fingers, and wrote down a crossing talisman.

After doing this, he took off the scabbard called the human world behind him.

All the way back, although the sword intent condensed by this scabbard on its own is not much, it should be quite good to deal with today's scene.

Jiang Huai pinched the breaking talisman in one hand, and walked slowly sideways with the scabbard in the other.

Dong Li, who had already stopped his hand, reached out again and made a gesture of please.

The next moment, he saw a figure that was already close in front of him.

That person didn't choose to throw out the Breaking Talisman first to test it, or find a certain time to hit the snake seven inches, and as soon as he came up, he was fighting in close quarters.

Even if you have experienced the realm of refining your body, you really think of yourself as a cultivator refining your body.

Dong Li was also a little puzzled by this kind of wild way, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, and quickly swept back with his toes and his big sleeves fluttering.

Jiang Huai's cross arm swept with the scabbard, and the blow missed, and he hurriedly followed up.

The Crossing Talisman written on white rice paper can instantly increase the speed by several times.

Although the cyan rice paper is not very significant in terms of improvement effect, the power is that it has changed from one breath to five breaths now.

With the blessing of speed, Jiang Huai instantly pursued in front of Dong Li, and at the same time slapped away with the scabbard again, and even inadvertently quietly threw out the breaking talisman.

And Dong Li hurriedly retreated again, but after dodging the horizontal slash, he saw the cyan rice paper floating in front of him at a strange angle.

In an instant, the thunder exploded, and a wave exploded in front of Na Dong Li, and the tiles shattered, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gathered into clouds.

Jiang Huai retreated a few times, grabbed a piece of cyan rice paper again with one hand, wrote the word against the water, and watched the changes.

A smile flashed in Zhou Xun's eyes in the palace, and he praised: "It's not a disciple of Master Confucius, and he has won the seventh place on the Hidden Dragon List in an instant, and it is estimated that he will be able to become famous in the near future." ”

Compared with the scene and remarks seen by Zhou Xun, neither the eunuch Zhou Zheng nor the sword cultivator Dong Chenghu made a statement.

Although the two of them are now thinking a little bit of deceit, what you can see in the Three Realms is only the skin in the corner.

A gap broke in the smoke on the street, and Dong Li jumped from the air, still free in white.

He stretched out three fingers and shook them in the air, and said indifferently: "It's already three moves." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the golden brush engraved with three points into the wood, and sketched the void in front of him, which was very ordinary and there was nothing strange about it.

But when he finished in one go, put away his pen and smiled, there was a sudden thunder under the light curtain, and golden raindrops were sprinkled.

As the raindrops continued to sloping in, a murmuring stream appeared on the long street, and then turned into a surging golden river.

And Jiang Huai only touched it for a moment, and felt a fierce pulling force in the golden river, as if countless palms were grabbing from the river.

He hurriedly jumped onto a roof, but the raindrops still stained him golden.

Gu Baichuan, who was leaning on the corner of the wall, also jumped up, and the Thousand Shadows White Sword hung above the young man's head on its own, completely blocking those golden raindrops.

Gu Baichuan hurriedly slapped off some of the golden rain dew on his body, and said to himself: "Although it is not a palpitation, if you are caught in that golden river, it will be really a troublesome thing." ”

In other words, the four realms of Confucianism can be said to be an important node on the road.

If you choose to raise knives, guns, sticks, and even some bronze mirrors and hairpins, you will go on the way of lettering.

If you want to cross the Eight Realms and Endless Realms and climb the Nine Realms and Semi-Holy Realms, the only way is to realize a natal word.

For example, when you realize a fire character, when you pull the natal character to draw the talisman and write it, there will be a flame entanglement, and the degree of condensation of the natal character will vary from one flame to another.

And the way to engrave the word is to engrave the natal word on the nourishment, just like the half-immortal soldier fire candle, there is no need to urge the fire to rise.

The same is true, but it is not reasonable.

Of course, there are also high and low natal words, such as the fire in the middle to cut through the creation, and the broken words that stand after the break are dwarfed by comparison, not to mention those orthography that are engraved on the top of the mountain, and the words are first-class.

The second way is to choose to cultivate the four things of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, although it is also a way of lettering, but there is a big difference between the two.

Although pen, ink, paper, and inkstone cannot directly cause damage, it can greatly improve the effect of characters or words.

In addition to the five must-learn characters of Breaking, Reverse Water, Suppression, Rejuvenation, and Xingdu, there are also some other characters that are not well known.

And the golden long river used by Dong Li this time not only has two symbols of reverse water and suppression, but also a character that turns into the sea.

The effect is to make the majestic qi in the body appear like an ocean, although the breath is no longer as strong as before after dispersion, but it can be everywhere.

Coupled with the incessant impact of the reverse water in it, and the suppression of the shackles, this golden occasion is already a cage, and it is impossible to enter or exit.

It's just three breaths, and there is no place to settle under this golden light curtain, and the lake water keeps beating and slowly rising.

Dong Li not only did not have the slightest obstacle in the long river, but was very happy and free like a fish in water.

In an instant, it took advantage of the time and place, and also blocked all Jiang Huai's retreats.

Dong Li still looked indifferent, but he was also a little proud.

He stretched out three fingers again, looked up and smiled, "Three minutes." ”

If you spend a long time with him, you can see that this long river can only exist for three minutes.

The storm has come, and it is becoming more and more violent.

Jiang Huai didn't think twice about throwing the character against the water into the river, and suddenly the river rolled and flowed backwards, but it could turn back and cover the ground again.

There was not the slightest effect.

Dong Li shook the pen in his hand, hooked it up, and slashed it again.

The golden river flowed backwards, and dozens of huge waves smashed towards the young man in the hat.

Jiang Huai hurriedly dodged, but the huge waves came one after another, plus the long river that was about to overflow the roof.

Not to mention three minutes, even one minute is extremely difficult.

As soon as Jiang Huai had already settled, another huge wave slammed in, covering the sky and the sun like a giant monster opening its mouth.

At this critical moment, Jiang Huai quickly pushed forward the scabbard, and one after another sharp sword intent swept like a violent wind, instantly isolating the golden river.

But the boy who imprisoned himself in one place happened to be the best target again.

The huge waves that covered the sky slammed one after another, one wave higher than the other, and the wave stronger than the other.

As Dong Li kept driving the river water to irrigate, his face gradually turned a little pale, but his eyes were extremely firm, which made him more heroic.

He didn't believe that his strength of five Jiao would lose to an opponent with a maximum of two Jiao.

As the sword intent of the scabbard continued to weaken, the river was about to hit the top of Jiang Huai's head.

And the feet have been submerged to the ankles.

Gu Baichuan sighed in his heart: "After all, I still suffered a loss that the realm was too low, but in the eyes of others, losing is losing after all." ”

Jiang Huai's feet are like falling a thousand catties, and as far as the eye can see, there is already such a river, although there are only three opportunities now, which is very valuable, but if he doesn't use it again, there will be no chance to fight back at all.

Gu Baichuan stepped out of the light curtain, looked at the color of the gradual dawn, and swore solemnly: "It seems that there is no play, I have to go back to sleep." ”

But at this moment, a huge gully appeared in the rolling golden wave, and the wave quickly rolled to both sides, giving way to a straight road.

Dressed in white with a sword, he flew and ran wildly in the avenue.

A trace of shock flashed in Dong Li's eyes, and he hurriedly urged the river to slap horizontally, and at the same time, characters flew from his sleeves, like leaves scattered, dense, and kept flying into the lake.

The fingernail-like light source in Jiang Huai's body instantly covered the long sword.

He held his sword in both hands and slowly closed his eyes.

"Exorcism!"

Immediately afterward, a thread-thin sword struck out from the tip of the sword.

Under the light of this sword, no matter what obstacles ahead, they all dissipated on their own, and the churning golden waves and several characters that were about to shatter disappeared in an instant, faintly in the void.

But after the silk thread split the long river, it did not stop and continued to stretch away.

Dong Li suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, looking at the thin line that was close at hand.

At this moment, a tall figure fell from the sky quickly, pointed at the silk thread, and after being pushed half a meter, he quickly put his hands behind his back and said in appreciation: "There are two hits." ”

Dong is thoughtful, if he is lost.

He shook his head, lamented, and laughed at himself, "I lost." ”

At the same time, the sword in Jiang Huai's hand quickly disappeared, and the golden light source, which was now only the size of a sesame seed, directly began to frantically absorb the aura of the two little Jiao.

Jiang Huai immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and kept absorbing Haoran's qi while not letting his mind collapse.

Dong Chenghu came with some interest, but he couldn't see any way,

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's enough trouble, let's disperse." ”

Dong Li bowed his head and left.

Gu Baichuan followed, and abruptly patted Dong Li's shoulder, and quipped: "It's not a big deal, at most, it will change from seventh to eighth, and the gap is not big." ”

Dong Li turned a deaf ear.

After the two left, Dong Chenghu quickly wiped off a drop of blood from his index finger, looked at the young man who was closing his eyes and breathing, and muttered: "What kind of sword is your kid using, it can actually split my body in the Eight Realms, it's really a little too appalling." ”

In the academy, Wu Sheng slapped the scene in the pool with one palm, raised his eyebrows and said: "Such a powerful swordsmanship, even I have never heard of it, isn't it a gift from the sword mountain?"

Kong Xin'an was also at a loss, but shook his head and smiled: "That kid has been lucky since he was a child, and he may have turned around and lost his luck for a while." ”

He wasn't ready to get to the bottom of this matter, so he hurriedly picked up the topic, "The matter of Qing Wuer's ascension is already known to everyone, and the seniors don't plan to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie?"

The white-haired old man looked up into the distance, took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I'm a bad old man who has lived for hundreds of years, and I'm tired of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and it's no fun to live anymore." ”

He asked rhetorically, "But you're not going to see it?"

There was silence at the moment.

Wu Sheng pointed at the stone table with two fingers, and muttered: "Actually, the ascension of that Qing Wuji is mixed, but fortunately, under the pacification of the war situation at this moment, it will not quickly decide a victory." But after the ascension of the Qing Wuji, the northern border of my Chongyang Kingdom may fall into an unprecedented embarrassing situation. Even if there is that sword mountain here, how can it stop the ambition of many monks in this mountain and river, those old guys have been oppressed by that gate for too long for thousands of years, and now there is a little hope, and they don't look at death to fight back?"

Wu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Unless that sword mountain is really higher than the sky. ”

Kong Xin'an frowned, he knew a little about the secret that no one had ascended for a thousand years, but he didn't go into detail, and asked: "Since no one can ascend, why did my husband tell me that I had seen the appearance of that door." ”

Wu Sheng didn't really want to talk about these old things about Chen Guzi, but the young man in front of him had come to this point now, and there was nothing to hide.

He took a sip of wine and said: "Although I haven't seen what the scene was a thousand years ago, I have also heard a little from ancient books or human legends, in the past, as long as you reach the Confucian Ten Realms Sage Realm or the Taoist Ten Realms to One Realm, or the Eight Realms of Refining the Body God and Demon Realm, you can break through the sky and go to the so-called fairy world." ”

But everyone found that as long as one person broke the sky, the threshold of the next person would be raised a lot, and since it was a few people who flew up thousands of years ago, the height of the gate was already beyond the reach of the dust. ”

Wu Sheng turned to smile and said, "Except for that Qing Wuji, do you know who the person with the most hope of leading to the immortal realm is?" ”

Kong Xin'an pondered for a moment and replied, "Is it the star-picking old man from Mochizuki Mountain?"

Wu Sheng shook his head.

"Could it be Cao Yanhua of the Great River Sword Sect with the same name as Yu Qingwuji?"

Wu Sheng no longer spoke, and stretched out a finger to break the sky, "It's you." ”

Kong Xin'an was speechless.

The white-bearded and white-haired Wu Sheng explained: "Your husband's surname is Kong, and he was the last person to ascend a thousand years ago, and we Confucianism do not have the same tradition of continuing the natal character as others, and the natal orthography you are carrying now is also the reason why your husband is enough to cross that door." But why he chose to return at the door, he should have his own reasons. ”

Kong Xin'an's eyes were in a trance, and he was not only not the slightest surprise when he heard this big secret, but a little disappointed.

remembered the righteousness of the year, and shook his head again and again.

Wu Sheng waved his hand, "Okay, the matter is over, you better go and see how your disciple is doing first." ”

Kong Xin'an nodded, walked out of Shangde Academy, and when he walked to the street, Jiang Huai had already stood up.

Although the young man's face was a little pale, his body was still fine.

Jiang Huai raised his head and said in surprise: "Sir!"

Kong Xin'an smiled, looked at this young man who was now the same height as himself, his eyes were full of emotion, and he said softly: "It's not bad, but you can't be proud, you need to work harder in the future." ”

Jiang Huairu nodded again and again as a chicken, "Yes, yes." ”

Kong Xin'an pointed to the young man's hat and quipped: "Why did you become like this, is it because the weather is too hot and troublesome?"

Jiang Huai pressed the hat, a little embarrassed.

Kong Xin'an pressed one hand on the young man's hat, and then there was a new black hair, and the shawl stopped.

The old man in a green shirt slowly took off the young man's hat, thinking that it was pleasing to the eye.

The young man smiled, and walked side by side with the old man.

When he walked to the Jixian Academy, Kong Xin'an opened a newly built ancestral hall and lit three small incense sticks to make a murmur.

After a moment, he stepped aside from his seat, turned to a young man behind him, and said, "You can also serve incense." ”

Jiang Huai lowered his head and took out three incense sticks, which burned on their own before they were lit.

He bent down and inserted the incense stick, and bowed three times, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to murmur in a low voice: "I am Kong Xin'an's disciple, named Jiang Huai." ”

After the two walked out of the house, a name was suddenly added to a wooden sign in the ancestral hall.

Kong Cangsheng in the first row.

The second line is measurable.

Kong Xin'an in the third row, Ding Qiu.

Jiang Huai in the fourth row.

In the dead of night, the two sat opposite each other under the shadow of the moon and played a game of chess.

is still the sixth son of the year, and it is still the mid-game of the year who admits defeat.

But the difference before was that both of them were drinking, pushing glasses and changing glasses, and they were happy.

After Kong Xin'an asked the young man if he had any condition in his body, he didn't go back to the room to rest.

As for what was in the boy's body, or where the swordsmanship came from, he didn't ask.

He thinks it's good, and there are some things that don't need to be investigated as long as they are correct.

If you think it's right, you do it, and then we'll talk about what the outcome will be.

Even if it's on the same path as I was back then.

When Kong Xin'an closed the door, he looked at the young man who was drunk on the chess table, and swore that "everything is up to me Kong Xin'an." ”
