The ancient city of Jinling.

Jinling City, built according to the danger of the Yangtze River, lies on the back of the Purple Mountain, and to the east is the end of the Yangtze River and the coast of the East China Sea. It was the capital of four dynasties in ancient human history, and Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty also built the capital here, which is already an ancient city of five dynasties.

Jinling City is the center of politics, culture, economy and trade today, and even the righteous sects have offices in Jinling City.

The Ministry of Rites is a clear water yamen, which is only used when the ancestors of the royal family become a family, and it is the poorest of the six departments.

Yuan Wenhua, who came from the second-grade official mansion, is now an official salute of the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix. But he knew in his heart that his official title was given by the imperial court in the face of his younger brother Yuan Shaoqin. In the past few months, he has simply lived like a year, enduring the fingers of his colleagues behind his back. 、

Everyone thinks that he is not even a man, as soon as he entered the officialdom, he became a scholar of Longtuge, and now he has been promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Rites. I think that the alternate two Jinshi will just be given a seventh-rank official rank.

Yuanfu.

At this moment, the Yuan Mansion is several times larger than in Lin'an City, with more than a dozen servants in the front ** courtyard, located in the most prosperous North City.

In the backyard, Yuan Wenhua was drinking alone with an unhappy face, dressed in a gorgeous official mansion, but also handsome and extraordinary.

Bai Su was dressed in silk and satin, walked over with delicious food, and said, "Xianggong, don't drink too much in the daytime." ”

Yuan Wenhua said: "Leave me alone, I really want to get drunk." ”

Bai Su frowned and said, "Xianggong, did you encounter something troublesome in the court?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Wenhua was also a little drunk, and said loudly: "Why do they look down on me, although I am from a talented background, I can be regarded as a full reader of poetry and books, and the ink in my chest is no worse than them, and now I have become a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, which is due to my talent......"

Bai Su sighed lightly, picked up the wine jug and poured another glass for Yuan Wenhua. The only person in the world who knows Yuan Wenhua best is her, Yuan Wenhua, a self-regarded scholar, has no merit but is in a high position, no wonder the villain is suspicious.

Yuan Wenhua drank it all in one gulp, slammed the wine glass on the ground, and said loudly: "Yuan Shaoqin, why are you, I am not as good as you, why is the emperor and the prince polite to me because of your face, I am your eldest brother, I am not worse than you." ”

Bai Su couldn't bear it when he saw Yuan Wenhua's red face and crazy appearance.

After venting, Yuan Wenhua's drunkenness gradually subsided, and said, "Lady, what is Shaoqin's identity, why is everyone afraid of him?"

Bai Su sat beside him and said, "You want to know?"

Yuan Wenhua said: "I must know. ”

"Yuan Shaoqin, his master is Zhuge Kong Fang, he is the sixteenth generation of the reincarnation sword technique. Each generation of the reincarnation sword recipe is responsible for the heavenly machine seal, and the reincarnation sword recipe is invincible in the world, and has been the heir of the reincarnation sword recipe for thousands of years to balance the two veins of righteousness and demons, so to speak, he is recognized as the guardian of the world. ”

"My second brother is the guardian of the world?"

"So to speak" Bai Su sighed lightly and said: "Don't say it's the emperor, even the heads of the five major factions of the righteous path don't dare to touch a single hair of ingots, this time Kunlun Shenshan fights, the current emperor has spent a lot of money to win a place for the royal cultivation group, but the second brother has already been decided, under the whole world, only Tianwen girl, the heir of the Feng family and the second brother can have this honor." More than a month later, the second brother will be famous all over the world. ”

Yuan Wenhua didn't know anything about the things in the cultivation realm, but when he heard Bai Su say that Yuan Shaoqin was so powerful, his face became more and more ugly.

How could the boy who was only worth three or two dollars ten years ago become the guardian of the world in just ten years?

He did not believe it, completely unable to accept this fact.

At this time, a servant walked over quickly and said, "Master, the palace has sent someone, please enter the palace immediately." ”

"The emperor is looking for me, lady, you are waiting for me at home, and I will enter the palace." Yuan Wenhua's face changed slightly, he tidied up his official uniform, and strode out.

Bai Su looked at Yuan Wenhua's back, and suddenly a trace of melancholy crossed his eyes. The current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely ambitious, he not only wants to compete with the cultivation realm, but even wants to annihilate those strange people who cultivate the truth in the deep mountains and dense forests in one fell swoop, so that he can protect the mortal country forever. As long as there is a cultivator for one day, even the emperor is by no means the Ninety-Five.

The royal palace, with gold bricks and red tiles, is magnificent. White jade floor tiles, inverted figures. Everything here is a treasure trove of money.

Yuan Wenhua followed a man in Tsing Yi into the palace, but instead of going straight to where His Majesty was, he was taken to an extremely secret place.

This is a huge courtyard, layers of rooms are built around the courtyard, there is a martial arts arena in the courtyard, more than a dozen teenagers and girls are fighting with swords, and there is a faint glow of the glow.

"Could it be that this is where the headquarters of the Royal Cultivation Regiment is located?" Seeing that those sword-fighting teenagers were not mortals, Yuan Wenhua's face changed slightly.

Inside the house.

Shangguan Yunhe looked at Yuan Wenhua, who was pale, and muttered secretly in his heart, how could this weak scholar be Yuan Shaoqin's brother?

However, with his Taoism, he naturally would not reveal his psychological thoughts, and said lightly: "Don't be restrained, sit down." ”

Yuan Wenhua sat down beside Shangguan Yunhe in shock, and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for the lower official?"

Shangguan Yunhe said: "It's not a big deal, there are still fifty days to Kunlun Fighting Method, and the fleet representing the imperial court will set off in three days, and I will also go along, I heard that your younger brother Yuan Shaoqin ...... He is the sixteenth generation of the reincarnation sword technique, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Yuan Wenhua's expression froze, and sure enough, it was still for his second brother, he said: "That's right, but he left ten years ago, and he just came back a while ago." ”

"I know this, what is the relationship between Yuan Shaoqin and your family now?"

Yuan Wenhua was not stupid, and said, "If Your Excellency has anything to say, please say it directly." ”

Shangguan Yunhe smiled and said: "I don't hide it, I am Shangguan Yunhe of the Royal Cultivation Troupe, and I also had a relationship with Brother Ling, but I have no deep friendship." You may not know much about the current cultivation realm, the five major factions of the righteous path have controlled the world for thousands of years, and our court is just a puppet in name only. And in recent years, the three sects of the Demon Sect, the Six Gates, and the Twelve Palaces have been driven by a comeback, and the battle between good and evil is imminent. ”

Yuan Wenhua's brows became tighter and tighter, it turned out that the imperial court wanted to win over his second brother, so he asked himself to come. Suddenly, an unwilling hatred arose in his heart.

"Why does everyone only know my second brother?"

In the evening, Yuanfu.

Yuan Wenhua dragged his tired body into the house and sat down on the bed all of a sudden.

Bai Su came over with ginseng tea and said, "Xianggong, what's wrong?"

Yuan Wenhua shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to follow the fleet to Kunlun in three days, you go with me." ”

Bai Su frowned and said, "You are not a cultivator, what are you doing in Kunlun?"

She was extremely smart, she had lived for a thousand years, and she immediately understood, and said, "The court wants to win over the second brother through you?"

Yuan Wenhua rubbed his head lightly and said, "Yes, although Shangguan Yunhe's words were not said directly, this is what he meant. I think that the second brother will take care of his brotherly feelings after all, and it is also a good thing that he will be an official in the same dynasty at that time. ”

"Confused!" Bai Su said: "Xianggong, this matter must not be done, the establishment of the Royal Cultivation Group by the imperial court in private has made the five major factions of the Righteous Path quite unhappy, and over the years, it has even attracted the Quanzhen line of the Northern Dao and more than a dozen small and medium-sized sects, and the strength is getting bigger and bigger, which is what the five major factions of the Righteous Path absolutely do not want to see." The second brother's road is still very long, and it is by no means confined to the world or the court, with the surname of the second brother, as long as you speak from it, he will definitely not refuse, but this also ruined the second brother's immortal fate, and even the reincarnation sword technique that has been passed down for thousands of years will be lost. ”

Yuan Wenhua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lady, you are a bit appalling." The second brother is only sixteen years old, and he is alone, what's the big deal?"

Bai Su sat beside Yuan Wenhua, grabbed his hand, and said, "You underestimate him too much, as far as I know, he has already obtained the Soul Chasing Sword of Li Bad's son and mother back then, and it is very likely that he will jump out of the six reincarnations before the age of thirty and reach the realm of immortality that the world dreams of." Leave that alone. The women who followed him alone are also not small, Zhao Wuregret is the eldest lady of the Zhao family in Xiangxi, with a soul ring, and is the messenger of the underworld and the world, and Xiangxi is quite friendly with the ghost clan, if the second brother is wooed, the ghost clan Bacheng and Xiangxi will also be involved. And I recently heard that the relationship between the second brother and a disciple of the Shushan faction named Li Shishi is not trivial, and at the same time, he is extremely friendly with the sword prince of the five major factions, the Taoist prince, the empty phase of the Bodhi Temple, and the Zhuge meteor of the Maoshan faction. And what I'm most afraid of is the girl named Fang Ling'er next to him. Others may not be able to see it, but I can see it at a glance, she is the phoenix among people, and she has a deep love for her second brother, she must be the phoenix that the old man Tianji said before he feathered. If she is angered, a heavenly fire can burn the entire capital, sixty years ago, Tianfeng, an outcast of Shushan, was angry and turned the thirty-six villages of the eight cities in Jiangbei into ashes overnight, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people, but fortunately, it was the second brother's master Zhuge who took action to restrain it. These people are all running for immortality, we must not let them have a fetters to the world, and you must not persuade the second brother to return to the court. ”

When the trend is today, the righteous path is prosperous, and the evil demons retreat.

Not only is there intrigue between the demon sects, but there is also sycophancy between the righteous sects.

Especially between the five major factions, in order to compete for the throne of the first faction in the world, for hundreds of years, Kunlun and the Emei faction have been fighting secretly, but in recent decades, the Emei faction has reined in a lot because of the loss of the two great treasures.

Now that the war between good and evil is about to break out, the cultivation forces of the imperial court according to the cultivation have far exceeded the imagination of the five major factions, not only tens of thousands of cultivators in Jiangbei Quanzhen North Province have all been attached, but there are also two medium-sized sects, Wudang faction and Quanzhen faction. Moreover, the strength of the Royal Cultivation Regiment has also increased, and the number has exceeded 2,000 people.

With today's Zhu Yuanzhang's power, he can completely compete with any of the five major factions, and if he pulls Yuanbao, a person with a great relationship, over, Zhu Yuanzhang will be like a tiger with wings.

A descendant of the reincarnation sword technique is worth eight thousand cultivators.

This is the evaluation of everyone in ancient times on the inheritors of the reincarnation sword technique.

Bai Su had long known that the imperial court wanted to win over ingots, but he didn't expect to move so quickly.

Yellow Mountain, Lotus Peak.

The Lotus Peak is located in the west of the Guangming Peak, and it is far less than the Guangming Peak that towers into the clouds.

At the cliff on the mountainside behind Lotus Peak, Master Li stood on a cliff platform. Her long waterfall-like hair danced slowly with the wind, and her expression was as calm as water.

And in front of her, another identical Master Li suddenly appeared.

The two Li Shishi stood opposite each other, and the Li Shishi who was suspended in mid-air on the opposite side suddenly showed a smile, looked at the motionless self in front of him, and muttered: "The soul is out of the body and turned into substance, I have reached the early stage of Mahayana, it is really incredible." ”

She never expected that less than a month after she came to Huangshan, she would be directly promoted from the initial stage of out-of-body to the first level of Mahayana. Today's young cultivators, there are never more than ten people who have reached the Mahayana realm. Reach this state and prolong your life. Even among the five major factions, the lowest is the treatment of elders.

Rao is Master Li's surname that is as cold as water, and he also showed joy at this moment. At the age of sixteen, he reached the Mahayana realm, and this qualification is almost no longer below the immortal of three hundred years ago. Immortality is definitely expected.

"Congratulations, you are better than you imagined, I'm afraid that even Chu Tianyun's qualifications are not half as good as yours. "Yulin Shitai suddenly appeared next to Master Li, and no one knew how he appeared.

The suspended Master Li turned into a light and shadow and entered the body in front of him, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Uncle for the grace of the medicine." ”

Master Yulin shook his head slightly, and said, "The golden pill I gave you is just an auxiliary, and it is your talent that allows you to break through in a short period of time." I originally thought that it would take you two months to reach the peak state of out-of-body, but I didn't expect that in just over 20 days, I would actually reach the Mahayana level. ”

Master Li said: "Uncle Shi, the Five Elements Golden Pill is extremely precious, why do you give it to me instead of giving it to your disciples." ”

Mrs. Yulin smiled again and said, "Silly boy, although the Five Elements Golden Pill is precious, it is nothing to the relationship between me and Brother Yuxuzi, do you know who I am from Yuxuzi?"

Master Li frowned and said, "You are?"

Master Yulin showed a kind look and said, "My real name is Zhao Wushuang, Yuxuzi's real name is Zhao Muhua, and I am his own sister." ”

"Huh?" Master Li's body shook for a while, obviously she didn't even know about this secret, but she was afraid that only a few people knew this secret.

Seeing Master Li's shocked appearance, Yulin patted her on the shoulder and said, "You are not an outsider, so I didn't hide it from you. ”

"I understand. Master Li clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, no matter when, my Master Li will never forget your kindness." ”

Master Yulin smiled with satisfaction, and said: "It's serious, now that you have reached the early stage of Mahayana, you don't have to stay here anymore, you go down the mountain, and I will lead my disciples to Kunlun after a while, and I will see you again." ”

After Mrs. Yulin said this, her figure disappeared again, silently.

Only then did Master Li know how terrifying Master Yulin's Taoism was, although it had not reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, but it was almost the same.

After standing for a long time, she turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

On the Wilderness Trail

"Light Qiu long sword, fierce horse singing......" Yuan Bao tore his throat and sang.

Fang Ling'er and Zhao Wuregret blocked their ears and expressed strong protest against this incomplete guy.

Yuanbao doesn't care so much, now there is no concern, and the things that Li Chaobai handed over to him have been done, it is a good time in the game world. He seems to have reverted to his original surname of obscenity and greed for money.

Zhao Wuregret couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Brother Shaoqin, if you sing again, I will beat you." ”

Yuan Bao suddenly stopped, and said with a smile: "It won't really be so ugly, Miss Ling'er, you give a comment." ”

Fang Ling'er said helplessly: "Childe, it's really hard to hear, I'll call you." ”

"Okay!"

In the next few days, the two girls and one dog were ravaged by someone's singing of breaking the gong, Yuan Bao was really not the material for singing, and after studying with Fang Linger for three days, there was no progress at all. This is a natural pentatonic incompleteness, which cannot be compensated for by acquired efforts.

After a few more days, he came to a small city, and Yuan Bao spent ten taels of silver to buy an erhu, bought a pipa for Zhao Wuregret, and bought a jade flute for Fang Ling'er.

In the past, on the Yangtze River, he had learned erhu from Fang Ling'er, he was very fast, and his talent was hundreds of times stronger than singing.

On the third day of the first month of November, there was only one month before the fighting method, and Yuan Bao and the other three people and one dog had already come to Huanggang, Hubei, Chudi, 800 miles away from Huangshan.

Hubei and Xiangxi are only separated by a river, and in Dayu Mountain, northeast of Huanggang, there was a big melee eight hundred years ago.

After the defeat of the Demon Sect in the Guangming Peak, it was divided into two ways to retreat towards the southwest Leize and the northwest wilderness, and the Demon Sect cultivators who went to the northwest were blocked in Huanggang Dayu Mountain by the righteous path cultivators who came from the pursuit.

One of the families that fled north was most of the famous Hehuan Sect of the Demon Sect.

Under Dayu Mountain, the moonlight is shrouded.

Yuan Bao skillfully pulled the erhu, the voice was dull and tactful, and the sound of the pipa and the sound of the flute next to Zhao Wuregret blended into one, the three of them performed the big song "Ambush on Ten Sides", Fang Linger was really amazing, the tone of this ten-sided ambush song was ups and downs, the most difficult to play with the jade flute, she actually spoke in a passionate tone, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

The three of them closed the song, and the ingots shouted happily, this is the fairy-like saying.

Since coming down the mountain, it has been the last few days that he has really felt happy.

"Come on, come on, let's play another song!" Yuan Bao's interest did not diminish at all.

But the two girls were crying and mournful, and Zhao Wuregret hurriedly said: "It's almost time, I've played it twelve times, I'll sleep first......"

"No, I'm interested...... Hey, hey, hey, are you really sleeping? I'll pull ...... myself."

"No!" the two women cried out in unison.

Yuan Bao pursed his lips, reluctantly put the erhu aside, and said: "Anyway, there will be more time in the future, and I will continue to ...... tomorrow."

The second daughter couldn't cry or laugh, this ingots were really scary, since she bought the erhu, she hadn't been idle for a moment, and she didn't look like a cultivator at all.

The three men and a dog meditated cross-legged around the campfire, and gradually the wood in the campfire burned out, leaving only a pile of ashes.

And in the depths of Dayu Mountain, which is only ten miles away from them, several rays of light fell from the sky across the night sky and fell in the mountains.
