Linzi actually has many memories.
Recalling the few years before killing Zhuang Gaoxian, almost all of the flying time was spent in this city.
Because here there are friends, good wine, elders, and rivals.
After leaving Er Fengming, whom he met by chance, Jiang Wang did not go to Huaying Palace, nor did he return to Bowang Hou Mansion. Or he gathered a group of old friends to drink and have fun.
The place he went to was a quiet mansion in the east of the city——
It's really too deserted here. It's obviously in a bustling neighborhood, but the door is closed, and passers-by are avoiding here. There are no birds flying on the treetops, and there are only a few cars and horses in front of the door.
This is Qi Xiao’s residence.
It's not that she suffered anything because of Jiang Wangliqi. No matter how crazy those supporters of the former Marquis of Wu'an were and no matter how much they dared to scold, they would never get on the side of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Soldiers, even if she had already retreated.
The only reason why this place is so lonely is that she lost her cultivation and the Xia Corpse Army, and there is no possibility of her coming back again.
Even if people don't follow Hongdingbai, they still can't help but worry about the Qi family of Donglai and the new Commander-in-Chief Xia Zhi... Qi Wen, who has been suppressed by her for so many years.
Walking to the door, Jiang Wang let go of his knowledge and reappeared in people's sight and hearing, and then raised his finger to knock on the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
The voice was clear and firm.
No one responded for a long time.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
Jiang Wang patiently continued to knock on the door, sending the sound into the courtyard without prying into the secrets of the house.
After a while, the door opened, and an old woman with no cultivation standing behind the door.
From this wrinkled face, it's hard to tell what she looked like before.
It's only been a year since the Mystery War... She's too old.
But when she saw Jiang Wang outside the door, she raised her cloudy eyes slightly. The danger and indifference deep in her eyes made people feel that she was still her.
She is Qi Xiao.
Jiang Wang even noticed that she was wearing military uniform. Although she had wiped away the sweat and tried not to look tired, the weak energy and blood in her body was still surging.
Apparently she was still practicing just now.
A woman who has aged like this has no cultivation at all, not a single Dao Yuan in her body, and may even break her bones if she falls casually...but she is still practicing.
The collapsed five palaces could not be rebuilt, the chaotic world could not be calmed, and the withered Dao meridians could not be regenerated - it was impossible for her to reopen the meridians, there was no Dao meridians to open, and her aging body would not allow it.
All the spiritual paths in this world cannot be reopened to her.
What's the point of this matter?
Since the Mysterious World War, the two have not seen each other again.
Now, separated by a threshold, inside and outside the courtyard, each of them has experienced earth-shaking changes in their lives. One is the greatest true person in history, and the other is an old man living alone in an orphanage.
Such a blessing!
Qi Xiao's eyes did not change, but he turned sideways, leaving half of the door open.
Facing this silent invitation, Jiang Wang stepped into it.
The old woman turned around and led the way, bypassing the screen wall and walking inside.
Jiang Wang conveniently closed the door.
As far as Jiang Wang knows, Qi Xiao's real age is forty-nine, which is very young for a real person, and can't be called "old" for a mortal. But he has aged like this, just looking at the wrinkles on his face,
Some people believe that she is seventy years old. The war in the Mysterious Realm left her with too much trauma.
But her posture is still upright, still like the commander-in-chief who scolded Fang Qiu, just like in the military ranks. Just looking at her back, you can't see the old look on her face.
"Someone asked me, what's the point of living like this?" the old woman said.
Jiang Wang took two steps and walked beside her, walking alongside her.
Qi Xiao's voice continued: "I don't think there is any meaning in life. What do you think?"
Jiang Wang did not answer the question, only said: "Didn't you kill the person who asked you this question?"
Qi Xiao's murderous ferocity is unparalleled among all the famous generals in the world.
Although she has no cultivation now, she has been the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers for so many years, and has many old friends in both the government and the public. Qi Ting will not forget her contribution.
This powerless old woman can also kill people easily.
"Oh." Qi Xiao said calmly: "This person is Qi Guang."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
This person really cannot be killed.
Old Chengyi Bo Qi Guang, the biological father of Qi Xiao and Qi Wen.
Historically, this kind of hereditary title cannot be inherited until death. The reason why the Qi family is an exception is that when Qi Wen and Qi Xiao were competing for Xia's corpse, Qi Guang took the initiative to retire the title and inherited it from Qi Wen, just to add weight to Qi Wen.
.
And it was under such pressure that Qi Xiao, alone, suppressed the entire Donglai Qi family and stepped into the military hall.
But Jiang Wang couldn't help but think again. The reason why Qi Guang couldn't be killed was because he was the old head of the Qi family in Donglai, or because he was Qi Xiao's father?
The two of them walked into the main hall without saying another word, and sat down side by side with a tea stool separated from each other.
They originally had good contact, with the Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou as a link, the Emperor of Qi teaching the art of war by name, and the opportunity to work together in the Mysterious World War... But now they are so alienated.
The layout of this main room is quite unusual. The three walls are all hung with maps, without any other decorations. On the front is a topographic map of the world, on the left is a map of the Eastern Territory, and on the right is a map of offshore islands.
picture.
When asked about her life achievements, it was nothing more than these three maps.
She must have been looking at these maps often, and the Immortal's eyes caught the weight of her long-lasting gaze on every corner of these three huge maps.
But again – what’s the point?
She can no longer command an army.
Jiang Wang thought to herself that Qi Xiao would probably only do her own thing and not care about what others thought. She didn't care about the so-called 'meaning' that the world drew rules and regulations.
Qi Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the pot of tea: "I don't have anything else in this house, just a pot of herbal tea to relieve the fever. If you want, drink it yourself."
The backs of her hands are also deeply wrinkled. It is really hard to imagine how these hands once dismembered the strong men of the sea tribe, killed the enemies who blocked the road, sailed thousands of sails, and controlled the storms thousands of miles away.
Jiang Wang opened the two teacups, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups.
Then he asked: "Why are there no servants in the house?"
The old woman said: "Who can stand me?"
When she was on Cassia Island, the elite Nine Soldiers had to be rotated frequently to maintain good physical and mental condition. The number of Xia Shi eliminated every year was quite astonishing, and she was the most among the Nine Soldiers. It was really impossible for ordinary people to get along with her.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "There will be people who come here regularly every day to clean and cook, and they will not interact with me."
Jiang Wang seemed to have a lot to say before he came, but after seeing him in person, he didn't know what to say.
"Are they doing a good job?" he asked, "I mean the people who clean and cook."
The old woman glanced at him: "What I mean is - if you want to kill me, now is the time."
Jiang Wang remained calm: "Qi Shuai thinks I'm here to kill you today?"
"Probably not." Qi Xiao said: "But it's not necessarily the case when old and new hatreds come to mind. After all, you are not a person who thinks twice before acting."
Jiang Wangdao: "I know you won't regret it, but I still want to ask - do you regret it now?"
"What do you regret?"
"I will never regret what you are like now. You let your brother take back the military power, and your father mocked you. But you, who are so strong, cold, murderous, can only endure all this."
Qi Xiao said: "I won the war."
"Do you ever regret sending me into danger? Do you ever regret letting all my subordinates die? Do you ever regret...making such a request of me?"
Qi Xiao said: "I won the war. I could have won more. If you had not disobeyed military orders, the situation in the coastal waters would not be so complicated now, and Qi would have unified the maritime territory long ago."
"Sure enough, that's your answer." Jiang Wang said.
"Are you trying to say that you are now the number one true person in Qing Dynasty and will definitely become a disciple of Yan Dao? Will I regret forcing you away?" Qi Xiao asked.
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Qi Xiao said: "Your path, your practice, itself is irreconcilable with the national system. Being in the national system, holding its power and assuming its responsibilities, there is absolutely no possibility of willfulness. I just made it clear in the end
That person is not me, it could be someone else - of course, if I had known this earlier, I would not have forced you to choose so roughly."
She paused for a moment before adding: "I will be a little more tactful... let Cao Shuai force you."
Jiang Wangdao: "Qi Xiao is indeed Qi Xiao!"
Qi Xiao looked at him: "You want me to apologize?"
Jiang Wang shook his head, stood up and walked out: "It's not necessary."
Qi Xiao's voice sounded from behind: "So you came here today just to see how miserable I am now and how miserable I am?"
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Qi Xiao was still sitting there, but he took out a handwritten book and handed it forward to his back: "I sat here during this period and wrote a military book. This is the only one, so it can be regarded as your hard work. If you
If you want to go to Huaying Palace, just give it to His Highness for me. You can read a few pages if you want, or if you want to take revenge on me, you can destroy it after you go out."
Jiang Wang did not look back, let alone pick up the military book, but said: "To answer Qi Shuai's original question - I don't think there is a need for meaning in life, but it is necessary to survive. It is also necessary to not let others live..."
Just left.
The old woman held the book quietly and put it down with an expressionless face.
She didn't smile. She hadn't killed anyone for a long time. She just looked at the situation map of the offshore islands hanging on the wall and said to herself: "Everyone who died in the Lost World, including me now, I think has a meaning.
.”
"I hope so," said a voice.
Qi Xiao looked up and saw Du Hou. He was sitting next to him in the same position where Jiang Wang was sitting before. He also picked up the cup of herbal tea and drank it slowly.
"Does Marquis Du think I'm wrong?" Qi Xiao asked.
Cao Jiudao: "The battle in the Mysterious Realm is dominated by you, and I will not question the commander's order."
"The War in the Mysterious Realm is over. What about hindsight?"
Cao Jie put down his tea cup: "There is nothing right or wrong about war. Is Qi Xiao weak now?"
Qi Xiao slowly shook his head: "It's just that when people get older, they start to think about life constantly."
Then he asked: "Are you afraid that Lord Du is coming so quickly that he will kill me?"
Cao Jie nodded honestly: "A little bit."
Qi Xiao carefully put away the military book and said, "He won't do anything to me. He has too many worries."
Cao Jidao: "Sometimes it doesn't seem like I have any worries."
"You are young. Sometimes you don't care." Qi Xiao picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, and said: "He just wanted to tell me that I was wrong. He wanted me to see how he practices what he does.
reason."
"Do you want to continue reading?" Cao Ji asked.
"Of course." Qi Xiao replied.
Then he said: "Besides, what else can I do now?"
Cao Jiu looked at her: "Actually, I'm more worried that you want to use his hand to free yourself."
"A joke!" Qi Xiao said coldly: "This is too ridiculous. If I, Qi Xiao, want to be liberated, why should I borrow someone else's knife?"
"Don't laugh." Cao Jie said calmly, "I'm afraid of death."
…
…
Jiang Wang told Emperor Qi that Qi was his second hometown, but there was no water in his words.
The cause and effect between him and Zhuang Guo has been resolved, and no one in the underworld can respond to his thoughts.
While in Qi, he made too many friends and left too many memories. There were flying eagles and dog fights, there were swaggering through the streets, there were places where he was domineering, and there were places where he was filled with honors.
Of course there are some enemies. But as you keep going, there will be no more.
After leaving Qi Xiao's residence, he went to Huaying Palace.
No one in Huaying Palace kept him waiting. As soon as he entered the palace gate, someone was already waiting for him, leading him all the way to the martial arts arena.
Of course Jiang Wuyou knew Jiang Wang's whereabouts.
At this time, she was still practicing martial arts in the palace.
She practices martial arts almost every day, and possesses eighteen kinds of weapons, all of which have magical skills.
Among the three palace masters who are still qualified to compete for the dragon, Jiang Wuhua is inconspicuous, and Jiang Wuxie is quite similar to the Martial Ancestor, who is well-known. Jiang Wuyou is the only one who, in addition to his national power, also shows the status of a master.
He is already a pioneer in Taoism and martial arts. He has set a precedent. If he can continue without hindrance, he will definitely become a great master.
Jiang Wang walked to the familiar school ground and saw a square sky ghost halberd rolling in the air, roaring like a silver dragon.
At the moment Jiang Wang arrived, the dragon transformed into its true form!
A true silver-scaled silver horn, carrying the wind and thunder, with a body length of more than ten feet, rushed towards me. It subdued the five elements, and the dragon chanted in the sky: "Spar with me!"
The entire school grounds were shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.
Standing on the sidelines was the old woman who was always by Jiang Wuyou's side, holding a halberd for her. In the past, Jiang Wang couldn't tell her insincerity, but now she could clearly see that she was a real person.
Under Jiang Wuyou's majestic power, he Shi Shiran observed the surroundings, and then stepped into the field with a faint smile, just to explore his hand——
Already holding the silver-white dragon horn.
Then the wind and thunder stopped, the thick clouds dispersed, the dragon's horns turned into sharp halberds, Jiang Wuyou held the pole with both hands, and his blood roared in his body!
Eight Tao characters appeared outside her body, like heavenly talismans swirling around her. Its light was bright and clean, as if she had been covered with a layer of silver armor, making her aura infinitely higher.
The characters are: Tao, Lin, Jue, Dian, Tian, Xia, Li, Wu.
Every word has its own unique charm. Like a knife, like a spear, like a sword, like a halberd.
Jiang Wang just glanced at these eight Tao characters, and sparks appeared almost at the same time - bang! They immediately decomposed and exploded into eight fireworks.
The hand holding Ji Feng pressed down, and Jiang Wuyou was pushed to the ground, his boots smashing the floor tiles!
Jiang Wang let go of his hand with a smile on his face. Jiang Wuyou fell to the ground and gasped violently.
Although this was just a discussion, Jiang Wang did not hold back.
He knew Jiang Wuyou very well, he knew that Jiang Wuyou was as proud as Jiang Wuyou, and Jiang Wuyou didn't need him to keep his hand.
"Jiang Qingyang!"
He heard the cold shout.
He looked over with a smile, his face showing the joy of meeting an old friend again: "What's the matter?"
Palace Master Huaying threw Fang Tian's Ghost Halberd behind him and said with a cold face: "What do you mean!?"
