Chapter 296: Shangguan Jinhong and the Old Man of Heavenly Machine
As the oldest birthplace of life in the world, the Eternal Land also has countless dimensional worlds.
After learning of the grim situation he was facing, Gu Yue immediately followed the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West and asked the earthlings to carry the Kunlun Mirror to the land of eternity.
After endless years of evolution, the Eternal Land and the Origin Law of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds have become extremely different, almost incompatible.
In order to avoid triggering the rejection of the will of heaven and earth and exposing his own existence, Gu Yue had to temporarily seal his own cultivation, only to gradually comprehend the original law here, and then slowly unseal his own cultivation.
During this time, Gu Yue's strength was undoubtedly at a low point.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Gu Yue chose a mortal world as a foothold.
This is a martial arts world that Gu Yue is very familiar with - the world of Xiao Li Flying Knife.
Two years ago, Li Xunhuan, who had been incognito outside the customs for ten years, returned to the Central Plains, and met the fledgling young swordsman A Fei on the way, and then was involved in the "plum blossom thief" case, which was once regarded as a "plum blossom thief".
After Ah Fei learned the truth, he wanted to kill Lin Xian'er, but he was charmed by Lin Xian'er's sweet words, and finally went into hiding with him.
Soon after, Shangguan Jinhong, who ranked second in Bai Xiaosheng's weapon spectrum, suddenly regained after many years of silence, recruited a group of masters, founded the Money Gang, and developed into the largest force in the rivers and lakes in just two years, and its momentum was even higher than that of the Beggar Gang.
......
The autumn wind is bleak, and the dead leaves are scattered.
It was already dusk, dark clouds were gathering in the sky, showers were coming, and the pedestrians on the road were gradually becoming scarce.
Gu Yue was dressed in a brocade shirt and a sword hanging from his waist, and rode on the road.
At the end of the road, more than ten miles away, a town faintly appeared, which was the goal of Gu Yue's trip.
This town is where the head of the Money Gang is located.
The Money Gang is the most famous, powerful, and financially powerful gang in the rivers and lakes.
Shangguan Jinhong, the leader of the Money Gang, was already famous all over the world twenty years ago, and his internal strength and martial arts have reached the top, with a pair of dragon and phoenix double rings in his hand, ranking second in the weapon spectrum, only under the Tianji stick of the old man.
Bai Xiaosheng is not an upright person, but when he was a weapon pedigree in the past and evaluated the world's masters, his attitude was absolutely fair.
Even if Bai Xiaosheng is dead now, the people in the rivers and lakes are still proud of being on the weapon spectrum, and they are all convinced.
Shangguan Jinhong can not only rank second in the weapon spectrum, but also single-handedly develop and grow the money gang to its current scale, and his strength and means are extremely remarkable.
Of course, just a money gang can't get into Gu Yue's eyes, and the reason why Gu Yue came here is because this place is the main place for the struggle in the rivers and lakes after Shangguan Jinhong, Lin Xian'er, Long Xiaoyun and others.
"The current money gang is still the most powerful gang in the world, and it is in full swing, so the final battle between Shangguan Jinhong and Li Xunhuan should not have started yet. Now that I'm in this world, I can't afford to miss this exciting matchup. ”
Gu Yue smiled and thought to himself.
The final battle between Li Xunhuan and Shangguan Jinhong is undoubtedly a wonderful showdown.
With Gu Yue's current vision, he has long surpassed the mundane world, but he still wants to see with his own eyes what kind of style Xiao Li's flying knife is.
......
When there were still more than ten miles away from Baoding City, the horse's speed suddenly slowed down.
Gu Yue raised his eyes and saw that there was an octagonal pavilion at the foot of the mountain next to the road in front of him, and the red paint on the railing had peeled off a little.
In the long pavilion, there sat a tall man, wearing a bright yellow robe with long corners that almost covered the top of his feet.
However, what made Gu Yue pay more attention was this person's eyes, which shot out a gloomy and sharp gaze, like a knife blade, piercing people's hearts.
A person with such a sharp gaze will never be an ordinary person.
At this moment.
The man in the yellow shirt was staring at a figure slowly approaching from a distance.
It was an old man who had passed the age of his sixtieth year, with gray hair, wearing a washed blue cloth robe, and holding a two-foot-long dry tobacco in his hand.
As he walked, the old man took out a pinch of tobacco from his cigarette pouch, stuffed it tightly into his pipe, lit it, and slowly swallowed the clouds.
In an instant, the pipe began to shine brightly, like a lantern at night.
The old man's footsteps were not fast, but since he was walking, he finally came to the pavilion, opposite the man in the yellow shirt.
......
In the distance, Gu Yue grabbed the reins, looked at the man in yellow shirt and the old man in blue, his expression moved slightly, thoughtful.
Because he has self-proclaimed self-cultivation, his divine sense cannot be separated from his body, but the sharpness of his mental sense is still far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In Gu Yue's perception, the cultivation of these two people is very good, reaching the top level of the mortal world, if they go further, they are even expected to get a glimpse of the mystery of immortality and become a cultivator in the true sense.
"Since these two people have such cultivation, they think they are Shangguan Jinhong and the old man Tianji. That's a coincidence. ”
Gu Yue smiled slightly, showing a somewhat interested expression.
In the original plot of Xiao Li Feidao, the old man Tianji and Shangguan Jinhong had two confrontations.
The first time was when Shangguan Jinhong took Jing Wuming to Baoding City to kill Li Xunhuan, but was blocked by the old man Tianji on the way, and Li Xunhuan came in time, which made Shangguan Jinhong jealous, so he took the initiative to retreat.
The second time was when Shangguan Jinhong sent a war letter to Li Xunhuan to make an appointment to fight, but Li Xunhuan was worried about Lin Shiyin's safety, so he traveled a long distance to find out on the eve of the decisive battle. Sun Xiaohong, the granddaughter of the old man of Tianji, fell in love with Li Xunhuan and didn't want him to go to Shangguan Jinhong's death date with his tired body, so he begged the old man of Tianji to deal with Shangguan Jinhong.
At this moment, Shangguan Jinhong came alone, and Jing Wusheng, who should have been inseparable from him, did not follow, so it can be seen that this must be the second confrontation between the two.
And this confrontation, if there is no accident, the result must end with the death of the old man of Tianji.
The reason is simple.
Since becoming the first person on the weapon spectrum, for so many years, the old man of Tianji has never used martial arts again. It's not because he's invincible and doesn't need to strike anymore, it's because he's afraid.
If a person's martial arts reach the peak, there will be a fear in his heart, for fear that others will catch up with him, for fear that he will regress, and at such a time, he will often think of escaping and dare not do anything. And the more you don't do it, the more you will gradually become really unable to do it.
It is important to know that the key to victory and defeat is not entirely martial arts. The time, place, people, and the state of their mood and physical strength at that time are the main factors that determine the outcome of the victory.
Today's Tianji Old Man, even if the martial arts realm is still unfathomable, but under the fear in his heart, his true strength has long been much worse than before.
With such strength, if he is against an ordinary master, it is no problem, but when he faces a top master like Shangguan Jinhong, whose martial arts are almost the same as him, his weaknesses will be exposed, and there is almost no chance of winning.
