In the Yellow River Meeting in the 3919th year of the Dao calendar, too many dazzling geniuses emerged. Today, seven years later, they have gradually become the protagonists of the world. More and more parties in power have begun to stir up the world.
Who is the most talented among them has always been debated endlessly. Although Jiang Wang won the most honors, the others Dou Zhao and Chong Xuan Zun also have room for debate, not to mention Li Yi who was the first to break the historical record.
But there is one person among them who is an "external" existence.
That is Xie Ai, the supreme powerhouse known as the "Winter Emperor".
It is said that he was the reincarnation of the Frost Immortal Lord Xu Qiuci more than 2,000 years ago. Now that he has ascended to Yandao, he is no longer on the same level as contemporary young people, and there is no room for comparison.
The struggle for the Winter Emperor's enlightenment should be the most important event in the northwest of the world in the year 3921 of the Dao calendar.
But at that time, the Snow Country was closed to the outside world, so the details of such a major event were never known to outsiders.
Although Xu Xiangqian and the others met Xie Ai who was on the run in disguise, they still had little idea of how Xie Ai could turn the tables, how he could ascend to Yandao and prove Xu Qiuci's reincarnation.
I only know that Xie Ai was once hunted to the sky and into the earth, and the Snow Kingdom was directly locked up. It may not be that she was very friendly to Xie Ai at that time. But judging from her leisurely and careless talk during her escape, I'm afraid I have everything at my fingertips.
The first battle after the Winter Emperor became enlightened was to go to the mainland of Jing Kingdom to challenge Longwu Governor Zhong Jing. It was this battle that halted Jing Kingdom's westward expansion war.
It's no wonder that Huang Sheli has always been obsessed with the Snow Country, clamoring to borrow troops to wipe it out and so on.
Snow Country has become a strong support behind the Northwest Five Nations Alliance - another support point is Jing Country.
Jiang Wang raised the translucent ice cup and slowly took a sip of the ice flame wine, letting his thoughts drift away.
Bingyan wine is a famous wine in the country of snow. When Bai Yujing opened, Bai Yuxia planned to introduce this kind of wine as the flagship wine. Later, considering the high purchase price and transportation costs, he decided to transport snow instead.
Yes, Cabinet Member Jiang has arrived in Snow Country.
After leaving Longmen Academy, he flew here directly.
The location he was at at this time was called "Wenxian Tower".
Wenxian Restaurant is the best restaurant in Hanhua City, and it is also the place where Zhao Wuyan first met Xie Ai.
Jiang Wang knew one thing for sure - when Zhao Wuyan came to the Snow Country, he regarded it as the end of a long journey of thousands of miles. He had already made up his mind to come to the Snow Country.
She also established her path among many choices and was officially ready to be promoted. However, after meeting Xie Ai, she changed her mind and went to Tianbei Snow Ridge for retreat, choosing to mix and mingle with hundreds of schools and create her own Yuanliu.
And Tianbei Snow Ridge is the dojo of Xie Ai's reincarnated predecessor, Xu Qiuci.
Of course, it cannot be said that Donghuang Xie is responsible for Wuyan's current situation. According to Wuyan's current spiritual path, everything she has experienced and encountered is part of her spiritual practice and has had an impact on her. .
There is no reason to hold Mr. Enlightenment to account just because someone has made a mistake.
Just like the mountain master of Longmen Academy, he didn’t come to Snow Country to cause any trouble for Xie Ai.
But there is no doubt that Xie Ai had a crucial influence on Zhao Wuyan’s path of mixing hundreds of schools of thought.
Jiang Wang instinctively felt that this influence was not simple.
Maybe it's because the Winter Emperor took action from a distance in the world of Shenxiao, maybe it's because Taixu Illusion was blocked in the Snow Country, maybe it's because of the information fee Douzhao gave him before departure... or maybe it's just groundless conjecture.
In short, he did have doubts.
But he did not tell Xu Xiangqian about this suspicion.
Xu Xiangqian's condition is not good, and it involves Zhao Wuyan, so it is difficult for him to have a calm attitude. Jiang Wang just repaired a letter and asked Ji Li from Mugu Academy to take care of it. He also sent the letter to Qingya Academy, Let Xu Xiangqian's teacher know the news about Xu Xiangqian.
There are many things in the snow country, but he wants to go alone.
The identity of the Taixu Cabinet member is enough to ensure his safety anywhere in the world. If someone kills the Taixu Cabinet member, what will the various forces who recommended the Taixu Cabinet member be considered?
In addition to this, [Taixu Pavilion] and [Taixu Wuya] are his double guarantees.
And his sword allows him to dare to face everything in the world.
Hanhua City is an ice city. Its gates, palaces, houses and streets are all carved by ice. This city is the second largest city in the Snow Country, and it is also the largest Snow Country city that outsiders can come into contact with.
Travel to the west of this city is prohibited.
Hanhua City is one of the three cities in the Snow Kingdom that are open to the outside world and can communicate with the outside world.
The two Taixu turrets built by the Taixu sect in the Snow Kingdom are in another city called "Snow Silence". The city is as cold as its name suggests, and there are not many people in the entire city. The snow beast flesh and blood is sold in the Snow Kingdom. , basically all stored there.
In addition, there is Bingyang City, which has a large number of troops stationed, is willing to accommodate criminals, regardless of outsiders' status, and has a harsher atmosphere... These three cities are the only places where people outside the Snow Country can understand the Snow Country.
A few years ago, during the battle for the Winter Emperor's enlightenment, even these three cities were locked up.
Compared to Snow Silence City, where beast carcasses are piled up, and Bingyang City, which is constantly fighting, Hanhua City has a relaxed atmosphere, is safe and stable, and prosperity is almost inevitable.
It is the largest window to the east of Snow Country and the largest gateway for people from outside the country to communicate with Snow Country.
Therefore, this city is also a mixed bag. People of all kinds shuttle around, including high-rollers, drunkards, and killer businessmen.
Most of the igloos in Hanhua City are half-buried underground, which is necessary to keep out the cold. The roofs of the igloos are carved with various snow animals, which are all kinds of strange and unique.
In Jiang Wang's view, the biggest role is to prevent these cellar-like igloos from looking like tombs.
The Wenxian Tower is different. It is made of ice. It is not inferior to the restaurants in the prosperous areas of the Central Region. It uses a special formation to ensure the warmth in the restaurant. Naturally, its consumption is also very beautiful.
After drinking three glasses of wine and listening to four or five gossips, I didn't get any useful information. The people who wanted to wait didn't wait, but a voice sounded in my ears - "Jiang... Zhenren?"
Jiang Wang raised his eyes and saw a man wearing moneyed silk clothes and a mustache. His face had the philistine and slick look of a small businessman. He had just sat down next to him.
Jiang Wang frowned. He felt that the person in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't recognize him. For his current level of cultivation, this was a rare experience.
The little businessman took out an ink ring finger, put it on the thumb of his right hand, then reached out to wipe off the two mustaches, and the expression on his face also changed... It was obvious that there were not many adjustments, but it was like a different person! He has an elegant temperament and a bookish air that even money and silk clothes cannot hide.
He cupped his hands and said gracefully: "My Majesty, Nalan Longzhi, was fortunate enough to have fought side by side with Master Jiang in the Mysterious Realm. I wonder if Master Jiang still has any memories?"
Jiang Wang naturally remembers the current appearance.
The appearance of a mere god can be hidden from the eyes of real people. Tou Tianfu does have a trick!
"I can't forget it!" Jiang Wang said, "Please come close and have a few drinks with me."
Nalan Longzhi was not polite and moved to his seat: "I came to the northwest to pick up an object. It's windy and snowy. Unexpectedly, I can still see my old friend in this bitter cold place. What a blessing!"
He had a strong sense of boundaries. He not only expressed his purpose of coming to the Snow Country and explained that it was just a chance encounter, but he also did not ask about Jiang Wang's behavior.
But there is nothing that cannot be said about Taixu Pavilion. The newly promoted Taixu Pavilion member’s purpose of coming to Snow Country is almost obvious.
Jiang Wangdao: "I represent Taixu Pavilion, and I am here to pave the way for the Taixu Illusion Realm in the Snow Country. Now that the world is working hard, humanity is surging, and in the entire world, only the northwest corner is missing, and it is here in the Snow Country. Up and down the Taixu Pavilion , are very distressed.”
Nalanlongzhi cupped his hands and said, "I'll have time to congratulate Master Jiang on joining the cabinet in the future!"
Jiang Wang waved his hand: "We don't talk about this between us."
He poured wine for Nalan Longzhi with his own hands and said: "The last time I met you in the lost world, the war situation was urgent. I forgot to ask you about something."
Nalan Longzhi caught the wine glass with both hands: "I should tell you everything I know!"
Jiang Wangdao: "I have an old friend named Su Qiyun, whom I met in the Senhaiyuan world in the past. I haven't heard from him for many years. I wonder what the current situation is?"
Nalan Longzhi was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect Junior Sister Su to have such a fate with Zhenren Jiang."
The three people who were together in the Senhaiyuan Realm back then, Wu Quji is now the sect leader of the Golden Needle Sect, Jiang Zhenren is a world-famous member of the Taixu Cabinet, but Su Qiyun, who was born in the Thieving Heaven Mansion, disappears into hiding in the style of his sect. Voice.
Jiang Wang thought about the past and sighed a lot: "She also had a friend named 'Xiaoyu' who had an accident in the Senhaiyuan world. Fortunately, with the help of Yuheng Xingjun, he kept his true spirit a little and passed on her true spirit's body shaping method. .When we parted ways, she told me that she would do this in this life. Sometimes I think about it and wonder where my old friend is and whether her wish came true."
Nalan Longzhi was silent for a moment and said: "Junior sister Su is already unfortunate. It was while exploring a ruins to collect body shaping materials... When we found her, she had collapsed together with the ruins and was broken into the turbulent flow of time and space. "
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.
We haven't been in contact for many years, and it's hard to say how deep our relationship with Su Qiyun is. But after all, we met once, and after all, we fought side by side... It's inevitable to feel sad when an old friend dies.
Things are truly impermanent.
He realized again and again that life is a solitary journey, and practitioners always walk alone.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Wang said, "I remind you of sad things again."
"It doesn't matter." Nalanlong said: "There is still someone in this world who remembers her, and this person is Jiang Wang. I am happy for her. Although life and death are impermanent, after all, coming and going leaves traces."
Tou Tianfu's understanding of life and death is probably very dull.
Although this ancient and mysterious sect has always existed, it has left few traces in history.
The Jiange has thirty thousand years and the Blood River Sect has fifty-four thousand years. No one can tell when the Tuotian Mansion established its sect. This sect is just like Nalan Longzhi in front of him. He can also walk around the world and appear in the world.
Every corner, but not making waves.
Jiang Wang raised his wine glass and poured a sliver of it on the ground as a sacrifice. "At that time, I felt her determination. I always thought she would succeed."
Nalanlong's Way: "Zhenren Jiang, many people in this world have worked hard, but not everyone can succeed. Sometimes we only have the possibility if we give everything."
Jiang Wang had come into contact with Su Qiyun, and now he had come into contact with Nalan Longzhi. Both of them were disciples of Tou Tian Mansion. But he still had no knowledge of Tou Tian Mansion.
What is the purpose of this sect, what is it pursuing, where is it based, what are its main techniques, how many disciples it has... it's all a mystery. People only know that in terms of movement and concealment, it is unparalleled in the world.
Jiang Wang looked at him: "So Brother Nalan gave everything to pursue what possibility?"
"How can Lin Shen lament that he can't see a deer? It's hard to know a musician in the world!" Nalan Longzhi sighed: "I really want to tell my story to Master Jiang. Although it is shallow and boring, it is also really lonely. Unfortunately, I can't."
Jiang Wangdao: "Although Jiang is not a gentleman, he does not force others to do anything. If it is not suitable to talk about it, Brother Nalan does not need to talk about it."
"It's not that it's not suitable, it's that it's impossible." Nalan Longzhi said seriously: "But with Master Jiang's speed of practice, maybe one day he will know."
Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Tou Tian Mansion has many secrets."
"It's just a stolen secret——"
While Nalan Longzhi was talking, his fingers holding the ice cup suddenly froze, and his eyebrows were covered with frost. He showed a regretful expression: "Jian Zhenren, it seems we can't continue chatting."
Just this sentence——
His whole body turned to ice.
Crash, it fell to pieces!
The broken ice shards reflected little bits of light in the ice-carved restaurant, but the people around could not see anything. They were gossiping and drinking.
Those who continued to drink included Jiang Wang.
"You don't seem surprised."
The woman who spoke sat down opposite Jiang Wang.
Her sitting posture is very upright, and her figure is slender, but she seems to be the center of everything. She has a face that is too fair and delicate, and there is an indescribable sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, and there is a fragile beauty.
She seems to be leaving or disappearing at any time, which makes her even more touching.
This is the thanksgiving of the most beautiful woman in the Snow Country for attending the meeting of the Yellow River in the year 3919 of the Taoist Calendar.
Perhaps she should be respected as the Winter Emperor.
The geniuses of the same Yellow River Conference will meet again today.
The Winter Emperor is no longer the one who failed to make it to the semi-finals.
Jiang Wang's honor was not limited to being the leader of the Yellow River.
Facing the True Lord in front of him, Jiang Wang behaved unusually calmly: "There are so many things that should surprise me, and I don't know which one should surprise me first."
He opened a new ice glass and poured a glass of wine to express his gratitude. His voice was calm: "Should I be surprised that you suddenly took action, or should I be surprised that Nalan Longzhi was able to escape from your hands with his life?"
Xie Ai said in surprise: "You can actually see that he has escaped. He is worthy of being our leader of the Yellow River. How many years has it been true? You can no longer take it lightly."
Jiang Wangdao: "How can a person who achieves the truth in this world wait for a while? How about those who spread the Tao? In front of the Winter Emperor, I really have nothing to be proud of."
It is impossible for Nalan Longzhi, who is in the presence of God, to save his life under the Winter Emperor.
So Nalan Longzhi is probably also capable of Yan Dao.
Jiang Wang was not surprised that Nalan Longzhi was able to hide it from him. Tou Tianfu was so good at hiding and so mysterious that it was normal for some special methods to be used.
But Nalan Longzhi also participated in the Dragon Palace Banquet, although the whole process was very low-key and did not show any conspicuous performance - just like he was quite behaved on the battlefield of the Mysterious Realm.
He could even hide it from the Dragon Lord Changhe?
Even if Lord Long is just an phantom there, it is still a phantom that transcends existence!
It is worthy of being called the Toitian Mansion. This is the most mysterious sect in the world. It is like a shadow in the long night, looming and incomprehensible.
In fact, Jiang Wang still doesn't know how old Nalan Longzhi is and what he looks like. Today is the first time we sit down and chat, and it completely subverts the impression established by the past two meetings. He is completely unable to
Confirm everything he saw and heard.
The Winter Emperor did not take the glass of wine, but only looked at Jiang Wang: "He stole my things, and happened to be sitting here drinking with you. Should you give me an explanation?"
It turns out that Nalanlongzhi said he wanted to come to the northwest to pick up an object, and this is how he picked it up...
Isn’t it true that someone who steals Tianfu is not a thief?
Jiang Wang didn't speak or had any expression. He just stretched out his hand to get his Taixu Magatama.
He doesn't need to explain, because he is a member of Taixu Cabinet.
All parties push forward together, and the whole world promotes it; traveling through Liuhe, there is no hindrance in the present world; looking at the world, there are only nine people.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want an explanation, he still explains?
But he took it out again and again and paused.
……Um?
Where is my jade?!
