Next Chapter

Tiancang Prefecture Zhao Guo

Zhao is a very small country in Tiancang Prefecture, with a land area of less than 10,000 miles, and the whole country looks like a big winter melon from the map.

There are no powerful people here. The aura is scattered, the dragon veins are scarce, there are winds and sand raging from time to time, the Gobi Desert is full of thousands of miles at a glance, the sky is gray, there are no clouds, and the dead domain is to describe the barrenness of this place.

Outside the abandoned and ruined temple in the east of one of the cities under the jurisdiction of Zhao State, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the old Taoist walked slowly in the sky, the old Taoist robe was broken, and it was covered with bloodstains. Landing in front of the temple, Lao Dao wiped the blood that remained at the corner of his mouth, pushed open the temple door with his dry right hand, looked at the statue in the broken temple with a sigh, staggered, and fell to the ground, unconscious...

In a moment, a flying sword exuding bursts of coercion flew out of thin air on Lao Dao's body, hovering around Lao Dao, guarding Lao Dao, it seemed that as long as someone approached, the flying sword would not hesitate to slash away.

A few months later, Lao Dao recovered from his injuries, and every day he taught the boy to practice swords in front of the temple gate, practiced at sunrise and rested at sunset, until the boy was sixteen years old, Lao Dao brought back a teenager, and the previous green robe boy was different, although this boy also taught swordsmanship, but more to teach some sages of great wisdom in the eyes of mortals.

"It's a good way, it's a very good way... The name is famous, the name is not very famous...

Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire, to see its wonder, and there is often desire, to observe its subtlety

These two are the same and have different names, the same name is the mystery, the mystery is the mystery, the mystery is the door of all wonders........."

"Master, I'm done" The young man said calmly, and after speaking, an old man in a green robe floated in outside the door, his eyes were bright, looking at the young man like looking at gold, hehe said a few times, only to see Lao Dao instantly hugged in a pile of books a few feet high: "Not bad, the old man still has it here, memorize these too..."

"Master, I'm done reciting"

"Not bad, the old man still has it here"

In the blink of an eye, two spring and autumn seasons have passed. The boy looked at the books in front of him in a daze, and secretly said, "I know", shook his head and picked up the books that the old way had moved.

"Soldiers, treacherous ways......

"The reason why people are human beings is that they are courteous and righteous...

"The way to govern the country must first enrich the people, and the way to enrich the people lies in frugality

"Alas~ I really don't know what the old man thinks about the helper, every day is to let me endorse the book, I really envy Yuan Qing, you can practice the sword every day, the most annoying thing is to memorize this kind of book, bitter and difficult to understand, boring......

"And every pile of rolling melons on his back is ripe, and this dead old man is smiling and bringing in a bunch of new books, I really don't know how many books this old beggar got from there!", the young man held his chin with both hands, and muttered indignantly as he looked at the books piled up in front of him.

This is a dilapidated temple, only less than ten zhang range, the tiles of the temple roof are also scattered, from the temple can almost look at the sky through the broken tiles, the sunlight passes through the hall from the gap, forming a criss-crossing beam, and the hall is also dilapidated, the hall has a statue holding a long sword, the broken statue exudes the atmosphere of decay, as if it has experienced endless years, its vicissitudes of life look at the endless sky, as if there is anger and unwillingness. After looking at it for a long time, it seems to be immersed in it, and it is lost.

There was nothing in the hall except a table full of books in front of the statue, and a young man in a white robe sat cross-legged at the table.

At this time, a young man in a green robe walked in outside the temple, and said with a smile at the white-robed young man: "Come on, it's good that the helper didn't let us go out for routine work." ”

As the name suggests, "begging on the streets" is something that every gang member has to do, a pair of crutches and a broken bowl are standard, and it is stipulated that a certain amount of money can be asked to complete the task every day, and it is clear that these two children are not included in this rule.

"Practicing martial arts can still strengthen the body...

"You say that we are obviously a "beggar", why do we have to learn the books memorized by these scholars? The head of the gang leader should not let the donkey kick it~" The white-robed young man said with a questioning face.

The white-robed young man is named Tang Xian, sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face, quite a scholarly temperament, and the green-robed young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and huge ears next to him is named Yuan Qing, who is eighteen years old.

I saw that the young man in the green robe thought for a moment, nodded and said affirmatively: "This may be the helper's other meaning, it is said that the helper was a scholar before he was young, and then he took the test to become famous, and he failed many times, and the helper was disheartened and said: Even if you become a beggar in the future, you must be a literate beggar, and didn't the helper say? Knowledge can be better begging, because knowledge can fool people..."

"This dead old man is a madman, who knows what he's thinking, it's such a broken temple, it's raining, it's hot and sunny, only the three of us have to call it a gang, and what kind of sky-breaking gang, the beggar gang is the beggar gang, why don't you call it the beggar gang, and these piles of books on the right, what is the Tao, what is the Tao, what is the Tianhe swordsmanship we practice, one of the most powerful swordsmanship, can split a mountain with one sword........."

"At first, the gang leader hung the plaque on this temple with the "Invincible Heaven Breaking Sect in the World", and then I saw the gang leader talking about something, and it seemed that he thought about it for a long time, and finally happily decided to change it to the Heaven Breaking Gang. The green-robed young man smiled bitterly.

"Yes, I also heard the gang leader say that the gang used to be a big sect, what is it called Tianhe Sect, there are countless disciples under the sect, moving mountains and reclamation of the sea, all of them are powerful, people are good-looking, and they speak well, I like it here~"

"With all due respect, the helper just loves to brag. ”

"Not only does he brag and pretend to be forced, but he is also a perverted old man..."

"How?"

"The gang is like this, and the gang leader still drinks or visits the kiln every day...... Where did you say the helper got so many silver taels ......?"

"Haha... I have a very serious question: Do you think this bad old man can still work?..."

"The question is which girl will take it...

"What nonsense is the truth!" "Poof~haha......"

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Tang Xian, Yuan Qing!!, you two rabbit cubs..."

"Boom.........

There was a loud noise outside the temple gate, the earthquake shook the mountain, only to see the already dilapidated temple gate, flew in in an instant, the broken gate followed by a terrifying air wave, as if the power of heaven instantly slapped the two teenagers, a blow to the teenager out of the temple, this fluctuation made the temple tiles fly, as if it could not withstand this terrifying fluctuation, it was about to collapse in an instant, and a burst of dust was rolled up in the shock.........

"Ahem, ahem.........

The teenagers were lying on the ground, looking at the outside of the temple with frightened eyes, and there was an old man wearing a cyan robe standing outside the gate at this moment, with gray hair, vicissitudes of life, and deep eyes. Lao Dao roared in anger, and the sound rolled like thunder, spreading far, far away...

"Okay... You two rabbit cubs, let you endorse and practice swords, don't give me a hard study, and actually say bad things about Lao Tzu here... From tomorrow onwards, I will go out for routine work, one roast chicken and two pots of wine, this is your task today, don't come back if you can't finish it!" I saw Lao Dao pointing at the two teenagers with his right hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

After the two teenagers walked out of the ruined temple and walked far away, Lao Dao seemed to inadvertently look down at him...... Immediately slapped the ten-zhang boulder in front of the temple gate: "Little rabbit!"

Tang Xian's handsome face in the long journey was full of sorrow, and Yuan Qing, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and huge ears beside him, sighed from time to time. At this moment, the place where the teenagers are going is Nanyang City, which is very close to the broken temple.

Two hours of the road, forced to walk for four hours, finally came to Nanyang City, at a glance in the city of pedestrians, cloth, blacksmiths, wine shops, gambling halls, weapons, kilns, shoe stores, shop door all kinds of vendors, especially the food makes people can't help but shine, appetite greatly increased.

"Selling steamed buns ~ hot steamed buns just baked, hey ......"

"Rock sugar gourd, salmon...

"Roast ham, roast ham,

"Fairy Lake Grilled Fish Le ~ Grilled Fish Roe Le ~

"Grilled fish, lad, do you want to grill the roe?

"You said that if Lao Dao knew that we stole his treasure pimple Tianhe Sword down the mountain, would he destroy the broken temple with a slap, this Lao Dao didn't give us silver taels, how can we get soju, roast chicken, is it really begging" Yuan Qing pursed his lips and said with a blank face, and then Yuan Qing suddenly glanced at the Tianhe Sword in his hand and said softly: I really want to sell you for some silver taels to buy wine and drink!

Tang Xian glanced at Yuan Qing dumbfounded, snatched the Tianhe Sword, and said solemnly: "We are cultivating the Tianhe Sword Technique, and we are using the Tianhe Sword Technique, and this sword is called the "Tianhe Sword", so you should know how important this sword is! All things have spirits, and the sword that can be inherited must have a spirit, and this sword must be extremely strong! If it weren't for you and I cultivating the sword technique, I estimate that you would never be able to take this sword away, and you would even be attacked by the Tianhe Sword." ”

"Get out of the way~ Get out of the way for me, law enforcement and case handling, idlers dodge, those who dare to block will be killed!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a hurried marti in front of the west side, and immediately sat a bearded middle-aged man, wearing black armor, with a murderous face, raising a long knife in his left hand, and raising a horse in his right hand to spur the horse to collapse.

And less than a hundred feet in front of the horse, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was running rapidly, obviously the bearded man was chasing this girl, the girl with helplessness and unwillingness, looked at the southwest direction with a firm face, when passing Tang Xian, the hope of the eyes said to the young man: "Save me!", and then ran away at a faster speed. Obviously, she didn't think that the boy in front of her could save her.

The bearded man behind him had a playful smile on his mouth, and from time to time he raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at passers-by who had no time to dodge, and was chasing the girl out of the city at the moment.

"That's Captain Li of the law enforcement team, and his strength is already at the third level of Qi training......

"It is said that as long as you are targeted by the law enforcement team, even if you are not guilty, then you are guilty... Especially if you enter their blacklist, you will be hunted down by them endlessly......"

"It is said that he still has a brother-in-law of a law enforcement team in the capital of Zhao State... That's why I can be a captain..."

"Look, he's chasing that girl"

"It's over, this girl is destined to die, Captain Li is famous, and he kills people like hemp... Countless people died under his hands, and even slaughtered a village for fun..."

"Which one of the people in the law enforcement team is not carrying several lives, full of evil, be quiet, don't be affected by the pond fish" The hawkers had already retreated far away, and most of the people nearby shook their heads and discussed in a low voice, and occasionally some people sighed, and couldn't bear to look directly, as if they could see the girl's blood splashed on the spot.

Not to mention in Nanyang City, there are countless murders and treasures outside the city, and the official can't control it, so they turn a blind eye, after all, this is a world of the jungle.

Outside the city, ten miles of slope.

"Little girl, hurry up and hand over the things, this thing is not something you can touch, the thing I want from Chen San is not obedient to my arms, there are not many things that can make me chase hundreds of miles..."

Obviously, the girl has been caught up, and at this moment the girl stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at the beard that was getting closer and closer, a trace of unwillingness and despair surged into her heart, and she fled for three days: "Am I finally going to die?"

At this moment, a sound of breaking the air came, and a sharp long sword appeared in the air from far and near, and a strong storm with a sword light of about ten zhang came instantly, and it cut down the beard in an instant, and the grass and trees where the sword shadow passed were broken by the wind, and the wind and sand raged, and a giant tree seemed to be unable to withstand the crumbling of the fall,

"Boom.........

The long sword suddenly slashed on the bearded man, the beard flew directly upside down from the horse for dozens of feet, a staggered bearded man spurted bright red blood, at this time his armor was shattered, his breath was chaotic, and the horse under the seat had already been separated, the bearded man raised his head with a stunned expression, looked at the sword-wielding young man walking slowly in front of him, and asked with a solemn face:

"Who are you?..."
