The Great Zhou Jingshi is the giant of the world, and the Jingzhaofu city is densely populated inside and outside, known as a variety of millions of households, and it is no wonder that the county commanders of Chang'an and Wannian counties are more than the county guards.

The city is known as the east rich and the west is noble, but most of the mansions of the powerful are gathered in the southwest of the forbidden city of the Son of Heaven, hairpins, stacked wat two squares, especially a piece of Xiejie that separates the two squares is the most.

This diagonal street has a great reputation, not only in the annals of history there have been "five doors out of seven marquis, the opposite side is all in charge, non-famous and high-surnamed, those who wear purple clothes can not live" and other beautiful words, in the Beijing people in the market anecdotes are repeatedly mentioned.

The old people who have lived at the foot of the Son of Heaven for generations know that two hundred years ago, in front of the most prosperous palace on this diagonal street, there was a tall stone tablet engraved with the words "civil officials get off the sedan chair and military generals get off the horse", which was given by the emperor in handwriting, and then the prince of the family committed a crime and was exterminated by the family, and then issued a decree to take it away, and no one can enjoy this honor again, even if the Son of Heaven wants to give, the courtiers will insist on not accepting it.

The most talked about by the people of Beijing is that it is said that the palace was empty for ten years before it was given to a new upstart in the court, and when this mixed upstart came to the palace, he found that the entire mansion had been renovated, except for the big pit left at the base of the stone tablet. This hot upstart figured out the intention, and immediately said that he was going to see this every day, take it as a warning, and then the masters of the past generations followed the old practice, not only did not dare to fill it in without authorization, but also repaired it by a special person every year, and the stele pit has been left.

In the afternoon, the sun was poisonous, and the cars and horses on the diagonal street were sparse.

A handsome young man with a long sword in green clothes squatted on the edge of the stele pit, looking down at the pit, with a simple and warm smile on his face, like a child who had discovered something new and interesting.

After a long time, he stood up contentedly, and walked to the door of the house with a loose and lazy step.

The young man stopped, glanced up at the plaque on the door, and somehow, the curvature of the corners of his mouth suddenly became a little cold, revealing a strange aura of purity and darkness.

The porter and the guard smiled humbly, obviously knowing the young man, and hastened to get out of the way.

The young man nodded, stepped through the side door, and walked through the porch with great familiarity, and finally stopped in front of a hall hidden in the thick shade of greenery.

The hall is surrounded by ancient trees that are deep for a long time, the umbrella covers the sky, there is also a plaque in front of the hall, but there is no word, there is a pair of couplets on the pillars on both sides, it is written that "the heart of the people is like iron, and the thousand people hate and fear the ten thousand people to call me what I want; ”

The lacquer surface of the couplet is new and bright, and it should not have been hung for a long time, and the young man smiled when he saw it: "Okay, why do you make such angry words? It's not good to spread it." ”

"Hmph, it's not okay for the old man to complain?"

The young man followed the prestige, and saw two soft mats spread opposite each other under a thick shade not far from the side of the hall, and on the soft mats were placed a table, on which were placed incense burners, classics, melons and fruits, and so on.

There was no one on one of the soft seats, and behind the desk of the other soft seat, there was a middle-aged scarf scribe lying horizontally, although his appearance was ordinary, he had his own majesty between Gu Pan. If Liu Tugou saw it, he would definitely recognize that this person was the person who had a relationship in the northern suburbs of Beijing that day, surrounded by many expert guards, and drove ox carts to guide the country.

The handsome young man in Tsing Yi with a long sword bowed down and saluted: "Zheng Shudao has seen Ao Gong. ”

The middle-aged scribe first glanced at the young man angrily, and then pointed to the soft seat where no one was sitting, and then smiled heartily: "It is when you are bored, there are talents who come to the door, and you are lucky." ”

This person is a powerful minister and a ruling man!

Zheng Shudao did not shirk it, sat down calmly, and said with a smile: "In front of Ao Gong, how dare Shudao claim to be a talent?

Ao Mang got up slightly, glanced at the wordless plaque, and said casually: "There is no Spring Thunder Sword in the hall, and naturally there is no Spring Thunder Hall." As for the name of the new hall, wait for the day when Ao Mou's coffin is decided. ”

After saying goodbye to Ao Gong that day, he went to Ganzhou, and was later summoned by his family teacher to return to West Lake, but he had not come to see him for many years. Fang just glanced at the stele pit outside the gate of Nafu, as if there were still unjust souls crying out, thinking about the quick rise and defeat of King Wucheng back then, he sighed. Fortunately, Ao Gong is still here, and his demeanor is better than in the past, better than King Wucheng, and I think this name will be empty forever. ”

Ao Mang laughed when he heard this: "Only your words and deeds are all sword deviations, but you always win my heart! However, how can you be reckless, how can you be compared with King Wucheng? The conclusion of the coffin of a supreme minister is not actually how prominent he was during his lifetime, but how many people can still be remembered after death. Loyal ministers are scolded by thousands of people, when the bones are broken and ashes are scattered, and there is no place to bury them, it is really a worthy death, and the traitors have been passed down through the ages, and they can be called deceiving the world and stealing their names when they enter the temple and enjoy the incense. ”

He patted his thigh and said hesitantly: "At this time, Ao Mang can only be regarded as a powerful minister, not as much as Qi Ding, what is the reputation behind him, that is your business and other juniors, what does it have to do with me?"

Zheng Shudao bowed at the seat, and said: "Ao Gong is open-minded, and Shu Dao admires." During this trip to Ganzhou, Shu Dao made an alliance with the Gongxi clan in the name of Ao Gong, and there were many conflicts with Mr. Song.

Ao Mang smiled slightly, and waved his hand indifferently: "Being able to get the help of the Gongxi clan is a miracle, what is the crime?" Your father must be a little annoyed, I have already greeted the officials, so as not to affect the performance evaluation, let him rest assured." As for Song Yu, although he is decisive, the pattern is a little smaller after all......"

He paused, and then asked, "How is Gongxi Xiaobai?"

"Shu Dao thanked Ao Gong on behalf of his father. ”

Zheng Shudao first got up and saluted and thanked him, then sat down again, knowing that he was talking about business at the moment, and replied solemnly: "This person was not all pretended to be a hungry ghost and a loser in the past, he was a person in love, but he was by no means an impulsive person, this time because of the misbelief that his friends suffered a big loss, and finally showed his fangs, he could convince the public, know the trade-offs, and have a decision. ”

Ao Mang nodded: "I can be praised by you, it can be seen that he is indeed a talent, I have already played the Son of Heaven, worship his father as General Luoxia, he will soon enter Beijing on behalf of his father to thank him, and I will see him in person when the time comes." Since you went back to Ganzhou, you must have also gone to Qingping Mountain, Lu Yuanshen, the mountain master, is really not worthy of the name, but I don't know that his father is still alive?"

Zheng Shudao shook his head: "Shu Dao hasn't even seen Lu Yuanshen, Lu Gong is alive or dead, I don't know, the meaning of the family teacher, the life span of the great supernatural is extremely long, and if you can't confirm it one day, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not enough to believe." ”

Ao Mang let out an "oh", suddenly glanced at the long sword on Zheng Shudao's back, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen this sword for a long time." ”

Zheng Shudao understood, pulled out the long sword on his back with his backhand, and put it on the case in front of him: "Ao Gong gave me the spring thunder, and the Spring Thunder Hall does not exist because of this, but it is a sin of the special way." ”

This is a broken sword, and the blue sword body is engraved with a mysterious thunder talisman, but unfortunately it is incomplete, and the blade of the sword is also dull and inconspicuous.

Ao Mang tapped the desk lightly with his fingers, and said softly: "Thousands of miles to come back by the wind, and the spring thunder in the East China Sea alone." On the same day, I said, this ancient spring thunder sword is like a withered branch, rotten and broken without new sprouts, when it is burned, it is better to change its name to rob the ashes from the ashes......"

Zheng Shudao said respectfully: "Shu Dao traveled the world, what he saw was as Ao Gong said, all of them were rotten, and he realized the true meaning of robbery, and the way of the sword was refined. ”

Ao Mang smiled and said: "It's your understanding, it's not my work, where can you be praised by the master of the Baili Palace." By the way, I heard that the Venerable Master accepted a closed disciple, who once destroyed the second peak of Tianmen with a sword, established Tiantai Mountain, opened Erlong Gorge, and respected the rivers and lakes as the sword king?"

Zheng Shudao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he quickly reined in: "Senior Brother Pei has accumulated a lot of money, and his future achievements should be above me." It's just that he was drunk with kendo, and after the trip to Ganzhou, he returned to the West Lake to cultivate, and he was afraid that he would not be in the rivers and lakes again in a year or two. ”

Seeing this, Ao Mang made up his mind, so he didn't mention it anymore: "Speaking of the Spring Thunder Sword, I only got the news a few days ago that the other half of the sword was in the hands of the Cao family, a family of swordsmiths in Shuofang, Youzhou, and then it was taken away by Liu Tugou, the captain of the black crow, as a knife casting, which is really a pity." ”

Zheng Shudao was really distracted by this news: "Liu Tugou?" I have heard the name of 'Heaven Swallowing Sick Tiger' countless times on the way to Beijing, first the King of Lanling praised this sick young man as a fierce tiger, and then he took a blow from the great supernatural power alone and did not die, and even swallowed the supernatural sword qi in one gulp, but is it true?"

Ao Mang nodded: "What I saw with my own eyes that day was the hand of the deacon of the Immortal Ti Bingbi and the Lord of the Flying Immortal Temple, there will be no fake, but Liu Tugou is extremely seriously injured and has not shown up so far, but there is no news of death, I am afraid that he is still in bed to recuperate." ”

Zheng Shudao subconsciously pressed the sword body of the Gray Sword, and said softly: "Since the broken sword is reunited, he should have an end in the future." ”

Ao Mang stroked his palm and smiled: "Coincidentally, when it comes to the end, the cause and effect of this sword is not small, I'm afraid that someone will still find you to end it." ”

Seeing Zheng Shudao's puzzled look, Ao Mang continued: "You also know that the Spring Thunder Sword is said to have been a soldier of a celestial sword immortal, and that sword immortal was born in the great sect of ancient Qingzhou qi practitioners, and now this sect has a descendant, although it is not as famous as Liu Tugou in one fell swoop, but it is also quite powerful. ”

As he spoke, he picked out a letter on the desk and threw it to Zheng Shudao.

Zheng Shudao raised his hand to take it, unfolded it and took a look, and saw that it was written without a head or tail: "In the twilight of spring, the eldest princess's subordinate Keqing, the leader of the Green Forest Alliance in the Northern Four Prefectures, and the leader of the Haidong Gang, Gongsun Long, claimed to be the descendant of the ancient Qingzhou Qi Cultivation Sect, and wanted to show the world with the sword in his hand. This person has recently gone south to Beijing with a sword, and along the way he has made an appointment to fight with the swordsmanship masters of various states and counties, and has gone through nine battles without a single defeat, and Qingzhou flying swordsmanship is famous in the rivers and lakes. ”

Zheng Shudao looked up and frowned: "It's just a matter of re-establishing the portal to take revenge, and you have to take back the relics of the master, most of those things are scattered in the hands of the gate lords, this is to fight the world with one person, how unwise." In Shu Dao's opinion, he may not be able to reach the Jingshi. ”

Ao Mang shook his head, and his smile was a little sarcastic: "Lu Jue doesn't open his mouth, who dares to overstep his bounds? That old dog is the most unreasonable and shameless." If you are a person with other great powers, you will never be able to kill people and vent your personal anger in front of the eyes of everyone in Beijing. In my opinion, even if he doesn't personally end up bullying the small, I'm afraid there will already be a master of the immortal post waiting in Beijing. Don't be in a hurry, let's just wait to watch the show. ”

The ruling power of the current dynasty chattered, and spit out bitterness to Zheng Shudao, a junior: "Recently, the capital has not been peaceful, the court has been striking, the border is full of smoke, the Gongxi clan is plotting Ganzhou and Xirong to rebel, and the king of Lanling has returned to Beijing with military exploits...... That's all there is to it, because the supernatural power conference on the rivers and lakes is approaching, the descendants of the major factions frequently go out of the mountains to walk, and they really show their magical powers. Hey, the old man is not allowed to dig the big Buddha town water Jiao, Jialan Temple will come out of the Buddha to the north, your West Lake Sword Palace set the world's swordsmen are not small, Yin Mountain is even more noisy, even with the Xianger King Yu such bull ghosts and snake gods have emerged, and now even the three highnesses have more than one and a half of the old sheep ghost who has been buried in the ground...... If it weren't for this, Wu Yan would not have insisted on recruiting 3,000 horsemen into Beijing rather than making people criticize, and even accepted a demon woman as an apprentice. ”

Ao Mang moved his body and closed the coffin and said: "This world, it's going to be chaotic!"
