Although the city was the political center of the Western Dynasty, it was in the chaos of the Western Dynasty itself. In the city, there is a mixture of people coming and going, and during the day it is a stable and lively scene, but at night, there are often miserable cries in the dark alleys.

Therefore, outsiders who come to the capital to protect the city, if they have the conditions, they will generally choose to rest in the Yunlai Inn, and if they are not conditional, they will try to live in a high-end inn second only to the Yunlai Inn.

As the political center of the Western Dynasty, the Yunlai Inn located here occupies a much wider territory than other places. For example, the Yunlai Inn in the Nine Heavens Alliance Chengtian City only covers an area of three miles, while the Yunlai Inn here occupies an area of fifty miles. There are thousands of guest rooms and courtyards in the inn, and there are hundreds of five-story high-end buildings, which are convenient for big forces to contract.

Most of the people who went to the secret realm of the soldier master stayed here.

After Xingchen led the three of them here, he didn't see Han Feng and the others, so he directly entered a private room, took out the purple gold card casually, and asked after verifying it: "I have a friend named Han Feng, he should have arrived here in advance, did he leave any message?"

The smartly dressed female waiter who stood aside asked, "May I ask your name?" as she gestured on the black square box that had just been validated for the Zijin card.

Xingchen replied directly: "Lu Xingchen." ”

After hearing this, the female waiter said: "The information is confirmed successfully, Mr. Han left you a message, they are in the small courtyard of 2017, wait for you to come, let our people take you there directly." ”

Xingchen didn't get up immediately, he opened his mouth and asked, "How is the configuration of the small courtyard of 2017?"

The female waiter replied: "The small courtyard of 2017 is a medium-sized courtyard, covering an area of six zhang wide and eight zhang long, with two floors of small buildings, four rooms on the first floor and three rooms on the second floor, which can accommodate seven people. ”

Accommodating seven people, Xingchen turned to look at Rhine, who was sitting elegantly, and Lena, who was sitting straight, and said to the waiter, "There are already five of them, and we will set a small courtyard, and the request must be near the small courtyard of 2017." ”

The female waiter operated on the black square box again, showing a professional smile, "It has been successfully handled for you, small courtyard number: 2019." Funds used during the stay will be automatically deducted from the membership card. As he spoke, he put away the square box, stood up and stretched out his hand, "Please come with me, our inn has prepared a luxury carriage, which can safely deliver you to the small courtyard of 2019." ”

The four of them then got up and left the private room.

In a blink of an eye, the four of them were already standing on an east-west street, and there were fifty small courtyards neatly arranged on the north side of the street.

The female waiter on the side left in a luxurious carriage after handing over the four blue jade pendants to Xingchen.

Xingchen casually handed out the jade pendant to the three of them, and reached out to push the courtyard door. When he touched the courtyard gate, the jade pendant in his hand exuded a slight light, and in this bright light, the courtyard door slowly opened.

When he stepped into the small courtyard, a protective shield was raised, but because of the blue jade pendant, Xingchen entered it without being blocked.

Seeing this, Xingchen sighed: "The protective measures of the inn here are many times better than those of the Nine Heavens Alliance. The other three also walked in with jade pendants, but they didn't respond because they hadn't been to the Nine Heavens Alliance at all.

After sighing, Xingchen turned around and smiled: "Sister, Lena, you live on the second floor, and Xingyun and I live on the first floor, so it's easier to live this way." ”

Rhine immediately praised, "It's still my younger brother who is considerate, and my sister is not welcome." ”

Lena just nodded at the stars, and then turned and entered the small building on the second floor. Rhine originally wanted to follow, but was pulled by someone, turned around and realized that it was Xingchen, so he asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Xingchen glanced at Xiaolou and asked in a low voice, "Sister Rhine, isn't Lena a princess? And her current temperament doesn't seem to be the same as what I saw when I was a child." ”

Hearing this, Lai Yin'er thought of something, sighed, and said: "Brother, there is always a reason why a person's personality and temperament change into another appearance, do you know?"

Xingchen nodded, "I see." ”

Xingyun on the side said curiously: "Brother Chen, why do you care about her so much, you won't really take a fancy to her, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xingchen was directly carried into the small building.

A voice came out, "Nebula, I'm going to fix you today, so you know what to ask and what not to ask." Immediately after that, Nebula's screams rang out, miserable, directly through the protective shield, and spread throughout the street.

In the small courtyard of 2017 not far from this small courtyard, Han Feng, who was carving wood, directly carved the wrong stroke because of the scream. He jumped up in anger to see who was screaming. When I jumped up, I saw the familiar figure dancing with a knife in the courtyard of No. 2018, and immediately showed a surprised expression, and I didn't look at the courtyard of No. 2019 in the distance.

And the figure who was dancing the knife also noticed Han Feng who was dancing, stopped, and shouted something into the small building.

After a while, in room 2019, the miserable sound gradually disappeared. Xingchen led Xingyun out of the small building, and Lai Yin'er saw Xingchen's red right hand, and hurriedly went up to check, "Brother, what's wrong with your hand?"

Xingchen pointed at Xingyun and said helplessly: "What else can it be?" Xingyun, this kid's ass is too strong, hit him, my hand is almost useless." ”

Xingyun had tears on his face, hugged Rhine's thigh directly, and cried in a low voice: "Sister Rhine'er, Brother Chen is too ruthless, he picks the softest part of my body and beats me, it hurts me to death." Hearing this, Rhine reached out and ripped off Xingyun's buttocks, only to find that it was indeed very red, but it was still not as red as Xingchen's right hand. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It's really strong, Xingchen dares to touch the tip of Lena's sword directly with one finger, but it's not as strong as this butt." ”

However, Xingyun had tears on his face, and Lai Yin'er couldn't say anything, so she had to pretend to scold Xingchen, "Brother, you really won't be an elder brother, give Xingyun so many restrictions, and beat him." ”

Xingchen hurriedly explained, "I ......" but was interrupted by Rhine'er, "No need to explain, you are the elder brother, you must let Xingyun, you also fight, now unseal his storage ring as an apology." ”

Hearing this, Xingyun was overjoyed, but he still cried quietly on his face, silently raised his right hand, clenched his fist and stretched out his middle finger, dangling his storage ring in front of Xingchen.

Seeing Xingyun's gesture, Xingchen felt that this strange gesture was sarcastic to him, but he could only reach out and untie the prohibition he had set on the storage ring.

After a while, a weeping Nebula felt that he was able to take out the contents of the storage ring again, and a smile flashed across his face. He has been following the stars for so long, and he understands one thing, even if he is happy in this situation, he should not show it immediately. But he didn't know that the joy in his heart had passed through the contractual bond.

After Xingchen felt this joy, he looked at the Nebula in front of him, who was crying and sad on the surface, and grinning in his heart, clenched his fists slightly, and a clicking sound sounded, wanting to warn Nebula with this.

When Xingyun heard this voice, his body trembled, and he hurriedly hugged Rhine'er's thigh tightly, "Sister Rhine'er, save me quickly, Brother Chen still wants to beat me." ”

Lai Yin'er also saw Xingchen's tightly clenched fist, and suddenly became a little angry, "Brother, how can you be like this! Xingyun made a mistake, you have already punished it, do you want to fight again?"

Hearing this, Xingchen explained: "Sister, you don't know what he is thinking, if you knew, you would definitely want to beat him." ”

But Rhine didn't listen to the explanation, and directly pulled Xingyun to the second-floor building, and a voice came, "How can you know Xingyun's thoughts? These days, Xingyun has been living on the second floor with me, don't you want to beat him again." ”

Xingchen, who stayed in the small courtyard, sighed, sat alone at the stone table, and took out a wine gourd to drink alone. The two of them have a contractual connection, and the basic emotional changes are definitely felt.

At this time, the curtains of the upper room on the second floor were slightly lifted. Behind this curtain, Lena, dressed in a light blue princess dress and with loose hair, stood there, at this time she was full of noble temperament, and her heroic side was nowhere to be seen.

She looked at Xingchen sitting at the stone table, hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the door of the room, but just put her hand on the door and stopped.

After a while, Xingchen, who was drinking, felt someone behind him. Turning around, he saw Lena, who was wearing tight soft armor and standing straight, and smiled slightly, "Lena, it turned out to be you, why aren't you in your room?"

Lena walked over, picked up Xingchen's wine glass, drank it directly, looked at the stunned Xingchen, and smiled heartily, "I also like to drink, what, do you mind drinking with girls?"

After being stunned for a moment, Xingchen shook his head and said in his heart, "I don't mind, but can you not use my cup? After thinking about it, he took out a brand-new delicate porcelain wine jug and two new cups, and said: "It's rare to meet a girl who likes to drink, of course you have to drink a better one." The taste of the wine strings is not good, so ......" said and reached out to put away the original wine gourd and old wine glass.

He poured two more glasses of wine himself, "This is the Forgotten Immortal Wine." Please. ”

Lena picked up the wine glass and drank it all before she said, "You Yanhuang have an ancient saying, drinking is a talk. Xingchen, you promised me that you would tell me about kendo. ”

Xingchen also drank a glass of wine and said, "This is easy to say, you can listen." If you want to talk about kendo, you must first talk about sword cultivation. Those who have cultivated swordsmanship to achieve great perfection can skillfully transform their own aura into sword qi through the sword in their hands, and reach this level, and they are called sword cultivators by the world, but they are just wandering at the door of the sword. Like when we cultivate, when we are mundane, our goal is to attain innate beings and become innate beings. The same is true of kendo, if you want to embark on the road of kendo, you must cultivate swordsmanship to the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and then awaken the sword intent, which is considered to be one foot on the door of kendo......" After that, Xingchen has been telling what he knows about kendo, but what he says is only basic information, and many things can only be understood but not spoken, and he can't say clearly.

As Lena listened to Xingchen's story, she was always very serious, asking some questions from time to time, and Xingchen knew everything. The road of kendo is too lonely, if you are lucky enough to get acquainted with or even teach one, the road ahead will not be so lonely.

The scene of their drinking and discussion was seen by Rhine on the second floor, and in order to prevent Nebula from seeing and making trouble, Rhine directly took Nebula to the bathroom and washed him.

In the small courtyard, Xingchen began to tell about his situation, and Lena was very surprised to see the extremely sharp strange power in Xingchen's hand.

Controlling the small sword shadow in his hand to fly around, Xingchen said: "This is the sword intent spiritual power, and after you awaken the sword intent, you can use it." After that, it was time to climb the path of kendo, just like me, after learning from the experience of my predecessors, I created my own kendo practice method "Nine Layers of Sword Tower Formula". This is the first layer of the Heavenly Soul Realm. As he spoke, a blue sword-shaped mark appeared on his eyebrows.

He continued: "My method is to refine the entire Sea of Consciousness into a sword-type light, but if you want to reach this realm, you must have enough perception and long-term accumulation, otherwise once you fail, the Sea of Consciousness will be destroyed, and the whole person will be directly stupid. In this way, my sea of consciousness has a passive defense effect, which can block the detection of thoughts and illusions. You can try!"

Lena leaned out her thoughts, and indeed she didn't feel any obstruction from her thoughts, but when her thoughts touched the sword-shaped light and shadow, they collapsed directly. She hurriedly retracted her thoughts and exclaimed, "It's really powerful, but the condensation process seems to be too dangerous, does it have to do this to condense the sword soul?"

Xingchen smiled: "There are many kinds of ways to condense the sword soul, and heaven, earth and people are one of the main categories, and my method is only one of them. I have seen a sword path saint-level master, although he is also a condensation of the three souls of heaven, earth and man, but he does not have this sword-type imprint. ”

After Lena nodded, Xingchen continued: "The core of the second layer of the Earth Spirit Realm is the condensation of the Sword Dao Earth Spirit Bead. After successful condensation, you will have the ability to transform various spiritual powers in your body. It's my own ingenuity, and only I can do it. "Speaking of the rapid change of sword intent in his hand, the fireball of the elven spell, the power of the cold blood clan, the power of the holy angel, etc., several powers can be switched at will.

Lena was puzzled, "If I had cultivated your cultivation technique, would I have this ability?"

Xingchen shook his head, "Impossible, unless you already have a lot of power in you. As far as I know, you only have High Elf blood. ”

Lena nodded, her mind recalling the means of the stars, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be you?"

Xingchen nodded, and the Ice and Fire Spirit Hive in the dantian stopped functioning, and then said, "You guessed right, I have already let go of the cover-up method, you can investigate." ”

Lena held the magic trick in her hand, and a green light appeared in the center of her eyebrows, and after a while, she exclaimed, "How can there be so many? ”

Xingchen nodded, and continued to operate the Ice and Fire Spirit Hive, and Lena could no longer detect anything. Xingchen spoke, "I can't tell you why I have them. You just need to know that I have a way to hide my information, and unless a top expert or I deliberately show a trace of power, others will not be able to perceive my power. ”

Lena nodded, "If you want to trust me and let me know this, I won't tell anyone else." Xingchen, if I can awaken the sword intent, can I cultivate your Nine-Layer Sword Tower Technique?"

Xingchen smiled: "Of course, you are my sister's cousin, that is, my relative." He tried to pour another glass of wine, but found that the flask was empty.

The two looked at each other, and Lena immediately got up and arched her hand, "Thank you for your advice." When he turned to leave, his face was red, I don't know if it was because of the wine or something else.

And Xingchen, who was sitting at the stone table, had the spiritual power in his body working to dissolve the power of wine, and the ruddy on his face disappeared. He didn't look back, he just stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

When he came to the gate of the small courtyard in 2017, he found that the door of the small courtyard was wide open, and three figures were sitting in the courtyard drinking and chatting. When he saw the appearance of two of them, he showed a look of surprise, so he reached out and knocked on the door.

Among the three, Han Feng, who was dressed in black, walked over, stretched out his hand and handed Xingchen a blue jade pendant with the number on it: 2017, and said with a smile: "Why did you just come here, Xingyun?"

Xingchen stepped through the courtyard gate and replied, "Xingyun is in the small courtyard of 2019. As he spoke, he walked to the stone table and arched his hand: "Dijon, Andy, long time no see, you are also here?"

Andy stood up and said with a smile: "Dijon and I, as well as Dijon's three cousins, are in the small courtyard of 2018 next door, if it weren't for that scream, maybe we wouldn't know that you live next to you." ”

Han Feng had already walked over and answered, "Speaking of the scream just now, it caused me to carve the wrong wood carving, the sound feels familiar, but I just don't know who it is?"

Xingchen sat down and sighed, "Actually, it was Xingyun's scream just now, I taught him a lesson, and I almost injured my own hand. ”

And Han Feng suddenly smiled and said, "It turned out to be you, by the way, why do you live in a small courtyard alone, are you afraid that we will disturb you?"

Xingchen waved his hand, "No, I met my elf sister and her companions, you don't have enough to live here, so I booked a small courtyard by myself." Hearing Xingchen's words, several people behaved differently, Han Feng was curious, Andy didn't care, only Di Rong seemed to be restless.

A few people sat down to chat, Xingchen rarely spoke, after all, most of his three years were on his honeymoon, and there was nothing to say.

As for Han Feng, he didn't say a few words, and left directly. Before leaving, he sent a message to Xingchen: "The Qin Angel is still on the flying battleship, and the two of you don't live here, so the room will be given to her." ”

Xingchen looked at the sunset on the horizon and said, "Go and go back quickly! ”

After Han Feng left, Di Rong introduced his experience, he had already achieved the saint level, and now he was a powerhouse in the early stage of the saint level. As for Andy, he had already felt the signs of sleep, but after walking on the path of the sword, he planned to go to the Sleep Advancement after experiencing the secret realm of the soldier master.

After hearing this, Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, now the people around him are either already in the saint-level realm, or they have already stepped into the saint-level realm with one foot, and it seems that few people are still stuck in the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm like him. The road to advancement is out of reach.

While they were chatting, Rhine, dressed in sacrificial robes, led Nebula to the front of the small courtyard, ready to knock on the door.

Di Rong, who was facing the courtyard gate, suddenly stood up, ran to the courtyard gate, and smiled rarely, "Rhine, long time no see." ”

Seeing this, Andy whispered, "What's going on? I've never seen Dijon like this." ”

Xingchen explained in a low voice, "The elf sacrifice at the door is my elf sister, in fact, Dijon and my sister have known each other for a long time, and they are both interesting to each other, but they didn't take the initiative to say it." ”

When Rhine saw Dijon, she directly let go of Xingyun's hand, her face was slightly red, "Dijon, you are also here." ”

Dijon nodded stupidly, and the cold temperament on his body disappeared for a while.

Nebula, on the other hand, stood aside, staring curiously at the two men.

The three of them stood at the door for a while.
