This is the second time that Hong Yi has met the champion Hou, a legendary figure who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers at a young age, suppressed the border fortress, and fought against the Yunmeng great power.

The first time was in the reckless Tianwu City half a month ago, when the spirit was flying, pointing the country, full of pride, with the arrogance and domineering of killing gods and destroying Buddhas, and heaven and earth were surrendered at their feet.

And now at the state banquet of Izumo Kingdom, this champion Hou has a different temperament.

Shaking the folding fan in one hand, grabbing the luminous cup in the other, drinking it in a chic manner, the two hairbands bound by the purple and gold crown on his head hung down, his eyes were like stars, his face was like a crown of jade, and there was an indescribable grace.

He is on an equal footing with the lord of a country, drinking and talking, and he is the minister of the country, holding the power of foreign affairs, contacting various countries with one hand, and adjusting the demeanor of the prime minister.

Seeing the style of the champion Hou, Hong Yi originally thought that this person would only lead troops to fight and fight on the battlefield, but now he has a deeper understanding of this person.

"There is really a bit of 'getting on the horse to govern the army, and getting off the horse to calm the people', I don't know if it will be another Hong Xuanji in the future?"

Hong Yi thought in his heart, comparing the champion Hou and Hong Xuanji, these two big cadres and courtiers, one old and one young, are also young and brave, invincible commanders on the battlefield, shining brightly, and their experiences are quite similar.

As far as the country is concerned, it is a symbol of prosperity to have such people passed down from generation to generation.

However, Hong Yi has no good impression of this champion Hou.

It was not just the matter of killing the general of Qincha Fubo, Xiao Tianyao, but the other party's experience was the same as Hong Xuanji, which was enough to cause Hong Yi's unhappiness.

According to the reason, Hong Yi's current achievements are not low, and he can be regarded as a first-class figure in the world's Taoism, they are also young, a ghost immortal, a martial saint, and they are all great ministers, and they should have the slightest sympathy for each other, but Hong Yi does not have the slightest emotion.

And he didn't plan to change his disgust, although he cultivated into a ghost immortal, but he didn't practice the kind of way of forgetfulness, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all come from xìng feelings, having a good feeling is having a good feeling, disgust is disgust, and he will definitely not suppress the change.

"It's because I have jealousy in my heart that causes disgust, if Hong Xuanji let me practice martial arts since I was a child, I will have no less than the current achievements of this champion Hou. This kind of person can't hack him now, but he has to think of a way to suppress it well, so that he will be frustrated, so as to dispel his kind of spirit of killing gods and destroying Buddhas, and the eight desolate mountains and rivers are under his feet. This is his Dao heart, as long as his Dao heart is broken, his achievements will stop there. It's enough of a headache for the Great Qian Imperial Court to produce a Hong Xuanji, and another Hong Xuanji-style character is produced, so what's the cost?"

The moment Hong Yi stepped into the palace hall of the Cloud Kingdom and saw the champion Hou, he decided to find an opportunity to hit the confidence of the champion Hou hard.

In the words of Taoism, it is to break his Dao heart.

This champion Hou's Dao Heart is a momentum of mastering creation, killing gods and destroying Buddhas, and only if he feels frustrated, it will inevitably shake his Dao heart and make his cultivation stop there.

Although the other party's cultivation is not Taoism, it is martial arts. But the will of the heart is the foundation of everything, and once shaken, the whole person will be nullified.

Hong Yi didn't want the champion Hou to become a person like Hong Xuanji in the future.

Although it is very difficult to cultivate from a martial saint to a human immortal, it is much more difficult than the life and death barrier of Taoism, the realm of ghosts and immortals, and a genius like the "Sword Saint" Ram Yu has not broken through.

Characters like Hong Xuanji have paused at the pass for twenty years.

Monk Yinyue practiced as he did now, and he barely reached the human immortal martial arts.

But even if it is difficult, Hong Yi also feels that this champion Hou is not without hope of breaking through.

As soon as the martial arts reach the immortals, the fist intent is overwhelming, all evils do not invade, and all demons do not enter, even if the Peacock King has three or four thunder robberies and demon kings, he can't help it. This kind of existence is extremely terrifying.

No one knew that the moment he walked into the hall and saw the champion Hou, Hong Yi had already analyzed the opponent to seven, seven or eight in his heart, and at the same time made up some ideas in his heart

Although Hong Yi decided to suppress the idea of suppressing the champion Hou, when he walked into the main hall, the champion Hou didn't seem to take him seriously.

When Hong Yi, Zen Yinsha, and the big golden spider walked into the main hall, the champion Hou just kept his eyes on him for a moment, and after a slight flash, he looked at the Zen silver yarn, and the little girl who was completely condensed by the divine soul.

Hong Yi has now completely restrained his divine soul and scattered it all over his body, showing that he is a master who has just entered the cultivation of a martial arts grandmaster. Moreover, he condensed the true martial arts intent with the realm of "unable to be thoughtless", which also made it difficult for many people to imagine that he was a master of Taoism, and only thought that he was purely practicing martial arts.

Although it is rare to say that a martial arts master is rare, in the eyes of a character like Champion Hou, it is not a big deal.

Among the Qiankun Dragon Guards under his command, all of them are great masters with profound kung fu.

"Huh?"

Hong Yi even heard in his ears that after the champion Hou saw the big golden spider, he was slightly startled, and the puzzled look on his face flashed.

And the Fang Immortal Dao Sect Master Xiao Anran, as well as the Condor King, all focused on the body of Zen Yinsha, and didn't seem to care about the big golden spider.

This is to judge the level of eyesight.

Fang Immortal Dao Sect Master Xiao Gran, and the Divine Eagle King didn't have the same eyesight as the Champion Hou!

The spirit of the Thunder Tribulation Master deliberately transforms things, even the ghosts and immortals are difficult to detect.

Of course, if Xiao Gloomy and the two masters of the Condor King swept the body of the Great Golden Spider with their thoughts, they could still feel that this was the manifestation of the divine soul.

But now at the state banquet in Izumo Province, the two ghosts and immortals are reluctant to share their thoughts. You must know that the ghost immortal master has a thought, but the wind is biting, and the cold is deep, and ordinary people will feel very uneasy

"The princess has arrived, the musician has stopped!"

The ceremonial officer of the Izumo Kingdom court issued an order.

Suddenly, many of the bronze chimes were beaten, and the musicians of Yupan also stopped, and the beautiful music was cut off at once, and the wine banquet in the entire hall was temporarily suspended.

"Wang Er is here, come to your side quickly, you have been practicing in retreat, originally my father did not disturb your cultivation, but today it is the Great Dry Champion Hou Ye who came to my Izumo Kingdom, and I have to alarm you to come out to see it. ”

The lord of Izumo is a two-sideburn gray, square face, and between the eyebrows there is a jīng stem that is full of jīng Tuji, but when he sees the Zen silver veil, it is transformed into kindness.

The king of Izumo Province, Zen Guizo, is the biological father of Zen Silver Yarn in this life.

The reincarnation of Zen Silver Yarn in this life is also the biological daughter of the lord and queen of Izumo Kingdom, and she is not the kind of princess who is on the side.

In the national history of Izumo Province, when the queen gave birth to Zen Ginsha, she dreamed that in the ocean, ten thousand silver sharks worshipped and sent a pearl to her arms, which gave birth to Zen Ginsha.

The people of Izumo know that after this princess is born, she will command the fierce silver shark in the sea, and she can also ride a shark to swim, and since then, the people of Izumo have not been attacked by sharks or even other sea monsters when they go out to sea to fish, and sometimes when the boat capsizes in the wind and waves, the silver shark will rescue people and send them ashore, and when they encounter robbers, the silver shark will break the boat and kill people.

Such a supernatural is naturally to make the people of Izumo Province and Manchu all worship Zen silver yarn as a celestial being, and it is the reincarnation of the "sea god".

This is what the common people say, but the masters of Taoism know that Zen Silver Yarn is the reincarnation of the Silver Shark King

Zen Yinsha heard the greeting, nodded slightly to Hong Yi, and stepped forward to sit beside Zen Guizang.

"Father, give them a seat as well. ”

"Wang'er, who are these two?" Chan Guizang looked at Hong Yi and the Great Golden Spider, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

You know, this is a state banquet, and Izumo Country is a place that pays great attention to etiquette, and it can be seen from the green buildings on both sides of the Imperial Palace Avenue that it strictly follows the ancient etiquette!

At the state banquet, two unseemly people suddenly appeared, which was extremely deceitful.

Hong Yi is okay, with a dignified appearance and the temperament of a scholar, but the big golden spider is too spoiling to the image: shrinking his head, with two pigtails on his head, looking around, she is typically a naughty little girl.

"This is the Great Qianjing Navy Sea Seeker, and I have business dealings, and that is my Taoist friend. ”

Zen Yinsha said lightly.

"Well, give me a seat! Emperor, that Taoist friend of yours will be with you, since that young man is the sea-seeking envoy of the Great Qianjing Navy, then sit under the champion marquis. ”

Zen Guizang instructed the eunuch.

"No, move the seat to my side. Zen Yinsha waved his hand and said to the eunuch.

"This. The eunuch looked at Zen Yinsha in embarrassment, and then looked at Zen Guizang, the lord of the country.

"Do as the princess says. Zen Guizang waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, Princess, the minister has a word. At this moment, an official wearing a court robe and a long beard stood up, walked to the front of Zen Guizang, leaned down, and said in a subtle voice that was difficult to hear: "Today is the envoy of the Heavenly Empire is here, our country has a big banquet, and I also ask the emperor and the princess to abide by the etiquette system, otherwise after the envoy of the Celestial Empire will go back, they will laugh at our Izumo country as an overseas barbarian and do not understand the etiquette system." Please also ask the king and the princess to think twice. ”

"This, the emperor, what the first assistant minister said is also reasonable, that little girl is your Taoist friend, that young man, but the inspector of the Great Qianjing Navy, according to the etiquette of the state banquet, should not be on an equal footing with the emperor. "Zen returns to the Tibetan way.

"Lord Shoufu, it doesn't matter, this princess is a cultivator, and she doesn't need to pay attention to etiquette, but your advice is also reasonable, reward a pearl, thirty pieces of silk, and retreat." ”

Zen Yinsha smiled, and then said.

This exhortation official,It is the first auxiliary minister of the Izumo domestic cabinet,Loyal,It's also a famous scholar of Confucianism.,When he was young, he also went to Daqian to learn etiquette.,As a member of the country.,Now the admonition.,It's really reasonable.,So although Zen Yinsha didn't listen to his advice.,But still reward him with things.。

"Yes!" The first assistant minister originally wanted to admonish again, but at this time, the champion Hou was present, arguing with the lord of the country, but it seemed that it was not too big or small, so he also retreated.

The eunuch then brought in the table and placed it next to the Zen silver yarn.

With such a small episode, the entire hall of the state banquet began to whisper.

The civil and military officials of Izumo Province all whispered, wondering why Princess Zen Ginsha would let a young man with a low status sit next to her.

Hong Yi is the Jing Navy's sea envoy, and although he is also a general, he is too far from the champion Hou! It is simply a heaven and an underground, and the status of any personal guard around the champion Hou is probably higher than Hong Yi.

The state banquet is the place where etiquette is the most, and there is no mistake in the slightest, especially since the entire Izumo Imperial Court is a place where the country is governed in strict accordance with Confucian etiquette

"Who is he, the patrolman of the Jing Navy? There is actually a general in the Jing Navy who has reached the realm of a great grandmaster with martial arts?"

Champion Hou also noticed Hong Yi at this time, and after seeing Hong Yi sitting down, he ate calmly, with a calm bearing, and couldn't help frowning.

"Master Hou, this is Taishi Hong's concubine, named Hong Yi. This year, Yujing City chūn Tianxiang test, the first place Xie Yuan, very literary, and later because of the oppression of the eldest mother of the family, he switched to the command of Prince Yu, and was recommended to enter the Jing Navy Neutral Military Merit, and wanted to be knighted and set up his own door. ”

Just as Champion Hou was asking, a guard behind him leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"Oh, the son of Taishi Hong, Taishi Hong has sixteen sons and seven daughters, and the ones who are really promising are also Hong Xi and Hong Kang, and the rest are just gentlemen!

As a champion Hou, he naturally doesn't know a character like Hong Yi.

Although Hong Xuanji is famous, Hong Xuanji has sixteen sons and seven daughters, and no one pays attention to them.

Although Hong Yi has made a small contribution, where can he attract the attention of the champion Hou?

The same age, but the identity is too different.

"Master Hou, that Zen silver yarn seems to be very interesting to that Hong Yi. In fact, Hou Ye is famous, and his cultivation is even more extreme, and he is only afraid that he can be promoted to a human immortal, although this Zen silver yarn is a demon king, but now he is also a human body, and he is worthy of Hou Ye You, not to mention that now the Condor King Daoyou are all working for Hou Ye, and it is not considered an insult to the Silver Shark King. ”

At this moment, Xiao Anran suddenly smiled and whispered to the champion.

Xiao Anran naturally knew that the champion Hou came to Izumo Country, in addition to investigating the death of the Marshal of the Fubo Army, the more important thing was that he wanted to see Zen Yinsha, and then

"Although that Hong Yi is not bad, but he is just a martial arts master, where is he worthy of the demon king and ghost immortal? I see that the Silver Shark King looks at him differently, but it is just because of that little girl. Champion Hou shook the fan lightly and said with a smile: "The princess of Yuantu Kingdom, Concubine Yuan, is the reincarnation of the Xianghu King, this is what I know." The demon king is the concubine of His Majesty, which is a good story, this silver shark king, compared to the concubine, is really comparable. ”

"Master Hou has moved his mind?"

Xiao said with a smile.

Xiao Anran also vaguely knew that the champion Hou and His Majesty the Emperor Daqian had some unclear relationship, but I was afraid that it was an illegitimate child, otherwise where would I trust it so much, the matter of the illegitimate child, and the fact that the Emperor Daqian married the Xianghu King and the princess, the officialdom and the people don't know, and even some princes don't know, but as the leader of the Daomen, the master of ghosts and immortals, Xiao Anran, who often goes in and out of the palace, knows a lot of unknown **.

Many cultivators also secretly envied the emperor's good fortune.

You must know that Taoist priests can't help but get married, and if they can double cultivate with a demon fairy woman, this is something that cannot be desired.

"My father married the Xianghu King, and of course my son wants to marry the Silver Shark King, who is also one of the eight great demon immortals in the world. Xiao Yanran muttered in his heart.

"However, how can the death of General Fubo and the death of the young man be investigated?" if it was done by this Silver Shark King," Xiao Yanran thought in his heart, but looked at the face of the champion Hou, but did not speak

"Champion Hou, you have great achievements, this time you broke the Yunmeng fleet, relieved us of the suffering at sea, it is really worthy of our Izumo Manchu Dynasty civil and military celebration, come, I will represent the Izumo Kingdom and the whole country, respect the Champion Hou, and respect the Great Qiantian Dynasty!"

At this time, the national lord Zen Guizang looked at the champion Hou's face and was not good at it, afraid that the other party would be unhappy because of the Zen silver yarn, so he hurriedly raised his glass and toasted the champion Hou.

Zen Guizang is a country and a master, and his heart is bright and bright, knowing that the champion Hou went to Izumo Country this time, there is a good chance that he has heard a lot of Zen silver yarn fame.

As for the other party's idea, the lord of the country also guessed two or three points in his heart.

The champion Hou is young, strong-blooded, and famous, such a talent is difficult for any woman to match. And his daughter Zen Yinsha is the reincarnation of the sea god, and the two are a perfect match. What's more, it's also very good for Izumo Province.

However, in the matter of Zen Yinsha, he, the father, and the king can't be the master.

But the champion Hou must not be offended.

There was once a large tribe on the steppe who offended him, and overnight, they were all captured and reduced to slavery. Izumo has heard of these things.

After raising a glass to mobilize the civil and military atmosphere of the Manchu Dynasty, the first minister of the Changui Tibetan Dynasty made a look.

The first assistant minister who had just advised him understood, and after the lord finished speaking, he raised his glass to the champion Hou: "Lord Hou, I heard that you not only have martial arts and are also extremely outstanding in poetry, Izumo Province has always admired the etiquette and culture of Daqian, I don't know if I can write a poem at this state banquet, let me enjoy it?"

This first assistant minister is extremely jīng ming, and the champion Hou is not only famous, but also quite jīng poetry. This is what he investigated, and now it is time to do what he likes and make the other party prominent.

"Oh?"

When the champion Hou heard this, he smiled indifferently, stared at the Zen silver yarn, then looked at Hong Yi, and said casually: "This is natural, Izumo Kingdom invited Ben Hou to this banquet this time, but he has a heart, this grape wine luminous cup, and the peerless silver yarn princess, are all intoxicating things." I'll just write a poem. ”

"Hou Ye's poems are a must, and even the scholars and doctors of the imperial court are very admired in private. Xiao smiled secretly.

"Well, yes, I've heard that this champion Hou seems to be able to write poetry. He is a man of both civil and military skills. ”

Hong Yi's heart moved.

It turned out that the champion Hou not only had outstanding martial arts, but also did a good job in poetry, and once subdued the civil envoys. However, Hong Yi was still in the mansion of Marquis Wuwen at that time, obscure, and he read some ancient poems, and the poems of the new two years had not yet been engraved, but he did not read some poems of the champion Hou. However, when Hong Yi was in the sect, he had heard of it.

"Listen, what kind of poems did he make?"

Hong Yi saw that the champion Hou looked at the Zen silver yarn, and his heart became more and more unhappy, but he listened attentively.

I saw the champion Hou shaking his fan, and said word by word: "My husband only holds Wu Hook with one hand, and his spirit is higher than that of Baizhang Tower! Who has written history for 10,000 years, and has come for 3,000 miles to be a marquis!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"It's a good 10,000-year-old who has written history, and 3,000 miles to be a marquis. It's really magnificent!"

As soon as the poem of the champion Hou came out, the entire state banquet immediately caused a sensation.

Even Zen Yinsha frowned, feeling that this poem was indeed extraordinary. There is a heroic spirit that encompasses the four seas and annexes the eight wildernesses.

"I heard that Hong Yi is the son of Taishi Hong, and he is the first Xie Yuan in this year's Yujing scientific examination, so it must be a literary style, I don't know if I can write a poem, on the state banquet of Izumo Kingdom, let the civil and military officials know my literary style of the Great Qiantian Dynasty?"

Champion Hou stood up slowly, crossed in front of Hong Yi, and said suddenly.

Here it comes!

Hong Yi didn't expect that this champion Hou would suddenly target himself?

"I was trying to find a way to hack you, but you came to provoke me first?" Hong Yi felt stared at by the eyes of the champion Hou, very uncomfortable, his head was thinking rapidly, and suddenly, he seemed to have found an idea!

"Dare to ask, Champion Hou, what is the Wu Hook in your poem?" Hong Yi also stood up violently and said loudly.

"Wu Hook?" Champion Hou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is the ancient divine sword, which seems to be curved and hooked, and it is Wu Hook." ”

"I am familiar with the scriptures and history, and it seems that there is no divine sword called Wu Hook, and you say that the divine sword is like a curved and hooked sword? I have been in the Great Qiantian Dynasty, and since ancient times, the swords have been cast with a straight line, and what is taken is the integrity of the sword! Therefore, the scholar wears a sword instead of a sword, precisely for the sake of integrity! You say that the divine sword is like a curved and hooked? Is there an unrighteous sword in the world? Which dynasty is this the divine sword of the same dynasty?"

In the blink of an eye, Hong Yi grabbed the loophole in the poem of the champion Hou and attacked it wantonly, and the sound was so loud that all the people in the entire hall could hear it clearly.

"Yes, the ancient law of the Celestial Empire, the sword casting is taken from its 'integrity', and there is no sword that seems to be curved and hooked. And Wu Hook, the divine sword, we don't seem to have heard of it. ”

As soon as Hong Yi said this, there was a lot of discussion in the entire hall.
