Before arriving at the hall, he saw only dilapidated bricks and stones and desolate grass. Although it was a side hall, it was also built with extraordinary momentum. Jing Lingyu walked around to look at the main hall in front, looked at the writing on the plaque, and said with a smile: "It turns out this is Wu Zetian's house." Temple." Chang Sihao came over and said: "Whether Wu Zetian or Wu Zedi, please return the jade pendant to me first."

Jing Lingyu ignored the problem and asked: "Do you know who Wu Zetian is?" Chang Sihao shook his head. Jing Lingyu sighed: "You don't even know the only female emperor of China, then why? What do you know? All the emperors in the past dynasties were men. She is the only one who is a woman, but she has brought glory to thousands of our sisters all over the world."

Chang Sihao couldn't help laughing: "It's you, not us. I'm not a woman. If you call her a sister, don't take me with you."

The two walked into the main hall and saw that the shrine in front of them was exquisitely crafted, luxurious and elegant, and full of ancient charm. There was a thin-necked dragon on the shrine, which was vivid and walking. Chang Sihao felt strange and said: "This dragon sculpture If it's not good, how can you walk on the ground? You should be flying in the clouds and riding on the mist." Jing Lingyu smiled and said: "What do you know? Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Wu Zetian is a woman, of course the dragon has to walk on the ground."

In the shrine, there is a statue of Wu Zetian wearing a phoenix crown on her head and a cloud-patterned Xiapei. She has a wishful embrace and a kind face. She seems to be smiling at her after hearing the words. Jing Lingyu glanced around and murmured: "Wonderful, really wonderful." Chang Sihao asked: "What's wonderful?" Jing Lingyu said: "Look, the hall is so spacious, but there are only two pillars behind the shrine, and the weight of the roof rests entirely on these two pillars. Looking at this hall, I'm afraid It has been built for hundreds of years, but nothing has happened. Isn’t the craftsmanship of the craftsmen who built this temple wonderful?"

Chang Sihao walked around and saw that there really were no other supporting pillars in the hall. He shook his head and said: "These two pillars are strong, so it's nothing special." Jing Lingyu said with a face: "I don't understand anything, and I'm not ashamed. !This construction method is called column-reduction construction. It is a clever design of the roof that disperses the weight with a reasonable frame structure, so that not too much falls on the columns. Otherwise, no matter how strong the columns are, they will not be able to support it for hundreds of years. What's the truth? Even if it keeps folding, the middle of the roof will collapse." Chang Sihao said: "You know so much." Jing Lingyu's face turned red: "Actually, I only know this little, and you don't know much about it. My father told me about it." Chang Sihao asked: "Is your father a carpenter?" Jing Lingyu shook his head: "My father is a great swordsman, not a small carpenter, but he likes Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements Alchemy. , I just often design and build some strange buildings.”

Chang Sihao curled his lips: "A swordsman is a great swordsman, and a carpenter has become a little carpenter. I don't think there is anything wrong with being a carpenter."

Suddenly I heard the sound of people outside the hall, and the footsteps were chaotic, and an angry voice came: "That Yingying is really vicious. If it weren't for the advantage of our weapons, I'm afraid he would have gone with those brothers!" Another person said: " Our mace is its nemesis, but the brothers in the sword formation will be in trouble." Another person said: "The brothers in the shield formation are even worse. They are safe in the big formation. Once the formation breaks up, they can only rely on short swords to defend themselves. , they are simply white-faced hedgehogs, letting others slaughter them, and the brothers in the sword formation can at least still perform one and a half moves."

Jing Lingyu knew as soon as he heard that Shen Yuanqi's subordinates had arrived. He quickly pulled Chang Sihao and hid behind the statue of Wu Zetian, and told him: "They are all good players. Don't poke your head in. If they find out, breathe lightly."

Be careful." Chang Sihao nodded, but he didn't know that he knew that after using internal energy, the breath will sink. Even if you don't hold your breath, your breathing will be fine and even, and it will never be easily noticed by others.

Not long after, more than thirty warriors in black filed into the hall, some carrying weapons in their hands, and some empty-handed.

The warriors' feet were heavy, as if they were very tired, and their faces were gloomy. One warrior threw the mace in his hand to the ground, sighed and said: "The formations we have practiced so hard over the years can't withstand Liao Gushi's attack."

It was a fluke to survive now. What hope do you have in the alliance in the future?" Another samurai said: "He is the son of the Great Sword of the East, and his swordsmanship is superb, so he should be."

The warrior said: "Here, he is the son of Liao Dajian, so he has the true inheritance. We are also famous figures in the world. When we come to the Hundred Swords Alliance, we can only be ordered by others and do some chores. Isn't it too bad?"

unfair!"

"If you can practice swordsmanship well, you can naturally win the sword test competition, enter the sword training hall, and feel proud. What's the use of complaining here? Compared with you and me, the masters of the Wuyue Sword Sect are

So what? Aren't you just going to join the alliance and be driven by Alliance Leader Zheng?"

When the warrior heard this, he snorted and stopped talking. Everyone sat on the ground to rest, and the atmosphere was dull. After a while, he couldn't suppress it anymore and said again: "This kid is extremely vicious when he takes action. If there is no chance of breaking with the alliance,

He would never be so ruthless, but I don’t know what he actually committed?” One person said: “When I set out from the alliance, I heard the discussion from the brothers in the first department that Liao Gushi’s escape this time seemed to be related to Mrs. Liao.

Related." Someone said: "I heard about it too." After a while, the man lowered his voice and said: "It seems...it seems that he murdered his mother and absconded."

Jing Lingyu listened with fear behind the statue: "What? Did my brother kill my aunt? He is not crazy or stupid, how could he do such a thing? Impossible, impossible."

The discussion among the warriors continued: "This rumor is too bizarre, but if it weren't for this, Liao Dajian wouldn't be so furious. It's really hard to explain." One person chuckled twice and said: "Liao Dajian talks to other people every day.

Several Da Jian are studying kendo, but there is only an empty room at home. Mrs. Liao, hey, she is very lonely. Our Prime Minister often goes to visit, and there are no small problems." Someone retorted: "Jing Da Jian is Mrs. Liao's cousin.

Brother, what's so strange about going to visit? You kid is too lusty and thinks wrong about everything." The former person said: "Even if you are a relative, you should avoid suspicion. Besides, he always comes out of Liao's house late at night. This matter

But more than one person knows."

Jing Lingyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and thought to himself: "These swordsmen are usually respectful to their father in the alliance, but I didn't expect that they would kill people like this behind their backs. It doesn't matter if he goes to see his aunt and chats for a long time."

?You guys think of me in such a nasty way!" I wanted to get up and go out and curse, but I was afraid that they would catch me and send me back to the Hundred Swords Alliance, so I had to endure it and listen carefully.

A warrior sighed: "This time we go back, we really can't see the elders of Jiangdong. Our Yuanbu has always been in charge of defense and war in the alliance. Master Shen ranks second among the ten swordsmen of the Yuanbu. Now there are five hundred

There are only a few of us left among the twelve elites. Needless to say, the people in Xuanbu and Shibu are laughing at it, and the other Nine Swords subordinates in Yuanbu will also look down on us." One person cursed: "If you look down on us, look down on us!

If they have the ability, come and take Liao Gushi back!" Another person said: "Hey, we can't do it, Xuan and Shi are here, especially Bai Rao. In my opinion, although Liao Gushi is young, his skills are already high.

If he is not under the great sword, and with the famous sword Yingyingdu in his hand, I am afraid that our Director Luo is here, and it will not be easy to capture him."

Jing Lingyu was happy to hear this and thought to himself: The three chiefs of the Xuan, Yuan and Shi departments of the Hundred Sword Alliance are under the direct control of my father. They are all top swordsmen in the alliance. In terms of martial arts, they are not far behind my father. Among them, the chief of the Xuan department

Tong Zhiyi and Jiang Shiyou, the chief of the First Department, are in charge of the economic and external affairs of the alliance, so in terms of kung fu, they are slightly inferior to Luo Chengyuan, the chief of the Yuan Department. If my cousin has similar kung fu to him, he will naturally be ranked among the great swordsmen.

among the list.

Chang Sihao saw a smile on her face and didn't know why. He looked at the jade-white neck under her pointed chin and suddenly realized that the two of them were curled up and leaning against each other. The girl's alluring figure

The fragrance came faintly again, making his heart beat faster. In the slightly open seams of the clothes, the gauze covering the chest could be seen. The pink was flesh-colored, and the protruding breast peaks were like peeled jade. His hands could not help but slowly

He stretched out his hand and explored her clothes.

Halfway through the exploration, Jing Lingyu suddenly grabbed her wrist. She pouted, her eyes revealed a sullen look, and she wrote a few words in Chang Sihao's hand with her slender fingers: "No, allow, steal, my jade pendant." Chang Sihao.

Sihao was startled for a moment, his face felt a little feverish, and he thought: "Fortunately, fortunately." At this time, Jing Lingyu smiled at him again, put his finger on his lips, signaling to be quiet. He quickly held his breath again.

.

I only heard a samurai in the palace say: "If you want to compare Chief Luo with him, you should look down on him. After all, he has the sword Yingyingdu in his hand, which gives him a lot of advantages." Another person said: "Yes, the ice river cuts into the sea, Ying.

Yingqiongqi and Yingyingdu are ranked third among the four famous swords. They are treasures that are envied by all swordsmen in the world. However, the two swords of Binghe and Guanhai have long since disappeared. The only two swords that survive are Yingyingdu and Qiongqi.

, as long as the ice river and the sea are not born, then Yingyingdu will actually be the best in the world."

The warriors were silent for a long time after hearing this. One person said sadly: "Four years have passed, and I don't know what state Xiao Jin Shiyue's swordsmanship has reached now."

As soon as these words came out, everyone kept sighing, and there was fear in their voices. One person said: "Brother was on a mission and missed the last sword trial meeting, but after coming back, I heard a little bit about Xiao Jin Shiyue,

But the owner of the Qiongqi Sword is the young master of the Xiao Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that this man is cold, arrogant, crazy, and extremely talented. Leader Zheng allowed him to join the Sword Art Research Association of the Alliance to study for three months. What an honor it is to be...

He refused, saying that he wanted to use his own wisdom to master the art of swordsmanship, which is really childish."

A rather old warrior said in a calm voice: "You have never seen him, so you don't know. This boy's swordsmanship and martial arts are really unbelievable. Qin Mo, the fifth master of the Qin family in Shanxi, was carefully trained by the sword god Qin Langchuan since he was a child.

After thirty years of pure martial arts, he had already become one of the famous swordsmen. At the sword trial competition, his head was cut off by Xiao Jin Shiyue's sword! That was four years ago, and he was only eighteen years old. Alliance leader Zheng Aicai

As fate would have it, I have favored him. If it hadn't prevented him from killing the son of his old friend, I'm afraid he would have been allowed to stay in the sword repair hall for three to five years, or ten to eight years, when he proposed it. How could he have expected this son?

Even Alliance Leader Zheng didn't pay attention to it, and even refused such a great thing. The Xiao family was originally a famous swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been in decline for many years. Now that a young hero like him has emerged, it could have revived again, but this

There has been no movement for several years. I think he is determined to focus on the art of swordsmanship, ignore external affairs, and concentrate on one thing, so he will achieve great success. Juhao Pavilion has conquered east and west in recent years, expanded its territory, and almost controlled most of Jiangnan, and has gained a great reputation.

He is not far from our Hundred Swords Alliance, but he can't move to Hangzhou. It can be seen that Changsun Xiaochi, who is known as the invincible, is also very afraid of him. The power of one person is so great that people can't help but sigh. "
