Chapter 5: Upper Valley County

Three days passed in a flash, Tang Yi put all the accompanying items into a storage bag, especially the handwritten book "Tao Te Ching", which is not a thing in this world, if it is circulated, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause. Then he went to worship at the grave of Qingyu Daoren, and Tang Yi sprinkled away.

Because of its profound skill, it is difficult for horses to run, and the strange mountains and mountains are also like flat ground, but a few days of effort, it will go to the largest county town in Youzhou - Shanggu County, as long as it crosses this county, it will reach the boundary of Yanzhou, and then cross the sea, all the way east, you can see Taixuan.

Shanggu County is the oldest county town in Youzhou, which has been retained after the change of dynasties and the change of rivers and mountains. From the outside, the city wall is towering into the sky, covering an extremely wide area, and the moat, bell and drum tower are all available, and the city has a sense of impregnability. Tang Yi was a human being, and it was the first time he saw such a magnificent scene, and his Dao heart couldn't help but have a little waves. Entering this county, I saw that the shops on both sides of the street were lined up, the cries were endless, and the patrol soldiers Ding Sen stood solemnly, Tang Yi sighed that this place deserved to be the largest county in Youzhou, and it was indeed prosperous.

casually found a restaurant and entered, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "This little Taoist, I don't know if you are a top student or a hotel?" Tang Yi casually gave him two taels of silver: "Stay for one night today, prepare a few vegetarian dishes, and reward you with the rest." "Poor and rich in martial arts, not to mention cultivation, I don't know how much silver the Qingyu Daoist has saved in the past three hundred years, so that Tang Yi packed up and left when he left. With the reward, Xiao Er's smile on his face became a little bigger, thinking that this dish is not very old, but he is arrogant, and he must serve it well. Yin Tang Yi went up to the second floor, found a window seat, and hurriedly went down to pack up and prepare, and after a while, the dishes were ready.

Tang Yi has never liked meat, so although Taoists do not taboo meat, but their diet is also very light, while eating while watching the downstairs to the crowd, bustling, in the past and present life, he is a pure character, rarely go out, suddenly see this lively, slightly uncomfortable in his heart. At this time, I saw two more people coming in the restaurant, and the clothes of the two made Tang Yi quite familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered that this was the costume of Xuanji Cave, but he didn't expect to meet this faction here, I don't know if this is a narrow road, and I can't help but smile dumbly.

Just came in, one of the two people was named Li Jian, and the other was named Xu Hao, both of whom were fourth-generation disciples of Xuanji Cave, and they came to Youzhou to do business, and they were going to eat in this restaurant. ”

Li Jian shook his head: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, and missing it last time may not be a disaster." After speaking, the gloom in his eyes flashed and disappeared.

Xu Hao is shrewd, but he noticed it, and asked cautiously tentatively: "Could it be that the rumor of the Great Elder ......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Li Jian, and he kept his mouth shut, but his heart was shocked, recently, it has been rumored that the Great Elder of Youzhou has provoked people who should not be provoked, and he was seriously injured, and he is afraid that he will die soon, but the high-level officials in the door are secretive, looking at the look of the senior brother now, the rumors may not be groundless, if the Great Elder really has a case, Xu Hao shuddered, and did not dare to think about it again.

The restaurant was very noisy, the place where the two of them sat was extremely remote, and their voices were low, but Tang Yi's skills were clear, but he heard it clearly. Suddenly, the great elder they were talking about should be the silver-haired old man a while ago, although it was only a small punishment at that time, but the injury was enough for him, if the people in the Xuanji Cave were to keep to themselves, Tang Yi was not so bored that he had to find trouble with these people, in the final analysis, the most important thing for him was to seek the Great Dao, and the rest was just a trivial matter, not worth worrying about.

Li Xu and the others had different thoughts, but they were not interested in talking, and after hastily finishing their meal, they were about to get up and turn around the rudder, and just arrived at the staircase, they were greeted by a few people, all of whom were wearing green robes, carrying long swords, and when they looked at their clothes, they knew that they were the disciples of the Youzhou Great School Sword Pool. The two factions have always had friction, just because their strength is equal, so they are still restrained, and there has not been much conflict, but now it is different from the past, the news that the Great Elder of Xuanji Cave was seriously injured spread in Youzhou, and the people in the Sword Pool began to repeatedly provoke the disciples of Xuanji Cave, thinking that they were tempting. However, the high-level officials of Xuanji Cave issued a ban to let their disciples maintain restraint, and even confirmed the rumors, making Jian Chi more and more arrogant.

The first disciple of Jianchi is named Mo Yuan, and he is the only son of the current head of Mo Ge. Mo Ge's qualifications are extraordinary, he is not confused when he is young, and his son is also talented, only double ten, but he is already an acquired fifth-layer master, just heard a report, saying that the fourth generation of Xuanji Cave disciple Li Jian is here, and hurriedly led a few junior brothers and sisters to intercept him, ready to humiliate Li Jian, it is best to kill him here, hit the morale of Xuanji Cave at the same time, and further test the other party's attitude.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Li Jian and Xu Hao who were about to go downstairs, without saying a word, Mo Yuan and the others blocked the stairs, smiled at Li Jian, and said: "Senior Brother Li, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here, it's better to meet by chance, today the younger brother is the east, Senior Brother Li must appreciate the light." ”

When Li Jian saw this, he was secretly angry in his heart, but he remembered the ban of the teacher, so he had to return the salute patiently: "Senior Brother Mo is polite, I still have important things to do for my brother today, and I will catch up with my junior brother when I have leisure in the future." ”

After that, he pulled Xu Hao and wanted to go downstairs, but although Mo Yuan and the others were smiling, they just didn't let Li Jian and the others go over, Li Jian was furious: "What does Senior Brother Mo mean?"

Mo Yuan's face changed and he smiled: "The junior brother kindly invited the senior brother to drink, but the senior brother not only did not give the junior brother face, but also angrily scolded the younger brother, do you feel that there is no one in my sword pool? Although the younger brother is not talented, he can't let the teacher be ashamed, and he is willing to ask for one or two lessons with a three-foot Qingfeng, and I hope that the senior brother will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Li Jian's heart sank, knowing that today's things could not be good, he drew out his sword, and returned a move to the sunset of the long river, the two swords were divided with one touch, Mo Yuan "Oh Oo Oh" retreated three or four steps, but Li Jian did not move, the two of them were both acquired five layers, but after all, Li Jian was immersed in the five layers for a long time, and he took advantage of the internal force.

Although Mo Yuan was slightly inferior to Li Jian, he was not annoyed, he stood with his sword, and said with a smile: "Senior brother has such deep internal strength, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself, but a few days ago, my father passed on a set of clear water sword duels to my younger brother, and asked my senior brother to correct the axe." Li Jian listened to the words and calmed down, although he had never heard of this sword duel, but this is the personal biography of the innate master Moge, it must be extremely extraordinary, the rest of the guests saw the two of them fighting, and hurriedly walked outside the store, but they were not panicked, Youzhou martial arts are prosperous, this face is commonplace, as long as you don't find your own death and stay in the place of fighting, there will be no casualties, so as long as you don't hurt your life, the people in the government are turning a blind eye to this.
