Only Qian Red Ou Mei'er, Ling Bai Hui, Zhao Hao, Geng Feng and a few others were left in Jianxiao Palace. The others left.
Li Qiang was secretly surprised that he managed to calm himself down with great difficulty. After experiencing the realm of the Heart of Darkness, he had gradually been able to control this strange emotional change.
Li Qiang asked: Has Zhao Hao returned to Tiantingxing recently?
Zhao Hao stood up and said: Master, disciple, I went back ten years ago, but my hometown has changed a lot since the war between Litang Kingdom and Gusong Kingdom. Alas, my family has also been separated, and not a single family member has been seen.
Li Qiang frowned slightly: When did the war start?
Zhao Hao shook his head: It's been a long time and it was over when I went back.
I saw Nashan and Li Yumin teleporting up with four people. Nashan shouted: Boss, my nephew and niece are here and come and pay homage to the master. It can be seen that Nashan likes these four disciples very much.
The four disciples respectfully stepped forward to worship Li Qiang.
Li Qiang was startled. He stared at one of his disciples and asked in disbelief: Zhao Hao, you accepted the prince of the old Song Dynasty as your disciple.
Zhao Hao said: It was Master Hou who ordered the disciples to accept him, so he dared not disobey.
One of the four disciples was the prince Zhao Qi whom Li Qiang had met when he was in the old Song Dynasty. Zhao Qi's appearance had changed a bit, but Li Qiang still recognized him at a glance.
Zhao Qi said: The master is a disciple and asks the Holy King to make the decision. He should first cultivate in the Holy King's Mansion and then cultivate with the Master. The disciple really doesn't want to live in the royal family because it is too depressing.
Zhao Hao said: Qi'er is my eldest apprentice and my younger apprentice Liu Jing is the prince of the Han Dynasty.
Li Qiang was surprised. He asked in surprise: "Zhao Hao, why do you specialize in recruiting apprentices from the royal family? Are you so happy?"
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: Jing'er is the disciple that Master Fu ordered his disciples to accept. He looked a little aggrieved.
Li Qiang suddenly understood that these two brothers were worried about the country they supported. He nodded and said nothing.
Qian Chiou said: These two female disciples are disciples of Li Yumin of Yinfeng Sword Academy. The one in red is named Luan Ling and the one in white is named Yingluo. They are both from the Tang Dynasty, Xingli in Heaven.
The four disciples all looked at Li Qiang eagerly. Meier covered her mouth and giggled. Ling Baihui asked: Meier, why are you laughing? Meier whispered: Brother is going to give away a lot of treasures again. Hehe, they are quite clever.
of.
Li Qiang also laughed. He recalled the scene when he, Mei Jingjing and Zhao Hao pestered Brother Hou for the magic weapon when he first met Hou Peijing. He said: You all get up.
The four disciples stood up and immediately gathered around him.
Zhao Qi was very excited. He only made up his mind to cultivate himself after Li Qiang took him out of the palace. Like Hou Peijing, he also gave up his throne because he could only see Li Qiang again after cultivating.
Li Qiang took out four flying swords and smeared the golden light on the sword body and rearranged the sword body in a flash. He said: Choose the name of the sword yourself or let your master choose it.
The four of them were overjoyed. Liu Jing was tall and thick and looked like a rude man, but he was the first to kneel down and thank his master for the reward. The other three people also hurriedly knelt down and thanked him. Li Qiang waved his robe sleeves and the four of them were immediately struck by an invisible force.
Li Qiang raised his hand and sighed in his heart: Isn't he so old that he already has disciples and grandchildren?
Li Qiang carefully looked at the cultivation bases of the four of them. Among them, Zhao Yu's cultivation base was the best, followed by Luan Ling's, Liu Jing's and Ying Luo's were weaker, but they had both reached the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Li Qiang's eyesight now is extraordinary, but he found that these disciples relied on spiritual pills and other external help to cultivate into the Nascent Soul stage, and their foundations were not firmly established. He was silent for a moment and said: You must practice in seclusion after participating in the competition, otherwise
If the foundation is not solid enough, it is easy to get carried away.
The four disciples looked calm and didn't seem surprised at all.
Qian Chiou explained: "Little Master Uncle and their training time is too short. We have already planned to wait for them to practice in seclusion immediately after the competition, and then go out to travel and let them practice on their own outside. They all know what to do."
.
Li Qiang said: It seems that the competition among the various sects in Feng Yuan Star is very fierce. It is understandable for you to do this. Since it has reached this point, I can't help you. He raised his hand and covered the four disciples with a circle of colorful light and said: Each of them
Luck.
Zhao Hao was so surprised that he whispered: Oh my God, this is great. The entire Jianxiao Palace was silent. Everyone looked at Li Qiang nervously.
Qian Chiou knew in his heart that no cultivation master was willing to do such a thing, because even if a cultivation master reaches the Mahayana stage, his true energy is infinite, it is too easy to go too far to improve the disciple's skill in this way, and it is difficult to grasp the sense of proportion.
Only masters above Sanxian can do this.
Li Qiang also just saw this method in Xin Lian Pavilion this time. He couldn't help but want to try it. Only when he took action did he understand the difficulty. Especially when he helped four people at once, he was even more daring. If it weren't for his superb skills, I would be afraid.
I was going to make a fool of myself then.
This is a technique to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the source. Li Qiang once saw Qi Junsha perform it. At that time, he looked at Qi Junsha and easily mistakenly thought that this was not difficult to do. Fortunately, he had just cultivated into the preliminary realm of Wu Qingtian's divine power.
The steady stream could not be used up. He first used his divine power to stabilize the four of them. He first helped Zhao Qi to strengthen his base, followed by Luan Ling, Liu Jing and Ying Luo.
Everyone was dumbfounded and listened to Li Qiang slowly say: Don't try to break through the original level, stabilize your mind and listen to my command. He spent a whole day guiding me one by one.
Finally, Li Qiang stopped and said: Lucky, lucky, pity, pity.
Nashan asked curiously: Boss, what are you lucky about? It's a pity that I don't understand.
Li Qiang said: There is nothing wrong with Nashan. I am just expressing emotion. He now knows that it is better to use this method sparingly to improve the strength of cultivators. It is too easy to go wrong. He originally planned to improve the cultivation level of the four people, but suddenly found out
When something was wrong, he immediately changed his purpose and focused on stabilizing their current level. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was very cautious, so no accident occurred.
Qian Chiou looked at the four people excitedly. With his eyes, he could see at a glance that the foundations of these four people had completely changed. Yuanying was not as vain as before. In the future, their cultivation would be more effective with half the effort. From now on, these four disciples would be the first disciples of the Ancient Sword Academy.
He was very grateful to Li Qiang because he knew how much risk he had taken with his just move.
The four of them, Zhao Xuan, quickly finished practicing and they all thanked their master at the same time for the gift.
Li Qiang said: I am going to go back to Tiantingxing to see if Brother Hou is there. He will be back soon.
The eyes of the four disciples including Nashan, Zhao Hao and Zhao Qi all shone brightly. Although Feng Yuan Star is not far from Tianting Star, it is not easy to go back. So when they heard that Li Qiang was going to go, the six of them were immediately yearning for it. But
They have stayed in the Ancient Sword Academy for a long time and they all know that the elders make decisions and the younger ones cannot interrupt. Nashan understood Li Qiang's temper. He was the first to couldn't help but said: "Boss, please take me back." Zhao Hao couldn't hold back as soon as he opened his mouth.
:Master and I
Meier's face looked a little miserable and she said: Meier was waiting for her brother to come back at the Ancient Sword Academy. Li Qiang then remembered that Meier hadn't talked about going home yet. He asked: "Has Meier gone home to see her?"
Meier nodded. She could no longer shed tears. She just lowered her head and whispered: They can't be found. I don't know where they went. Li Qiang felt sad. He gently hugged Meier and whispered comfort.
Ling Baihui said: Brother, you don’t have to worry about Meier. I protect her and no one can hurt her.
Li Qiang said: "Linger, if you don't go back to Huiheng Palace to see me," Ling Baihui shook his head and said, "Just treat me as dead when you go back to see me." There was a sense of resentment in his words.
Li Qiang asked: Isn't Huiheng Palace your disciple? Ling Baihui said lightly: Since I was imprisoned in the Lingyuan Star Desert, I am no longer a disciple of Huiheng Palace. With the strength of Huiheng Palace, I will not die.
I believe they won't be able to find me.
Meier walked up to Ling Baihui, took her hand and said sweetly: Sister Ling, don't be angry. Meier will stay with you. They both share the same problem.
Li Qiang said: Red Ou Meier and Ling'er are cultivating in the Ancient Sword Academy, don't neglect them. Then he said to Zhao Hao: Zhao Hao, you should stay in the Ancient Sword Academy. You are now the head of the Jinlin Sword Academy and there are four more.
A disciple is going to participate in the competition, so you can't leave. Nashan, go and ask Zhao Zhi to come, and you two will accompany me back to Tianting Star.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh, but he would never disobey his master. He said: Master, I will wait for your return at the Ancient Sword Academy.
Nashan cheered and turned around and ran away. He was in a hurry to find Zhao Zhi.
Geng Feng walked up to Li Qiang, shook his head and said, "Little madman, I have to leave too. I don't know when we can see each other again." He seemed a little sad.
Li Qiang smiled and said: Old madman, where are you going? Geng Feng said: I will go back to Tianlai City in Tambang Star first, and then I will travel around the world. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have come back for the time being.
Qian Chiou said: Brother Geng is very dedicated to our disciples of the Ancient Sword Academy and I really can’t bear to see you leave.
Geng Feng laughed and said: Forget it, brother, Master. I have made such a mess here that almost every disciple wishes I would leave early. Haha, Master, you don’t know, he has a proud look on his face.
Geng Feng has competed with almost all the disciples of the Ancient Sword Academy, and beat them every time until they howled like ghosts. However, he also allowed these disciples to gain a lot of practical experience. The old madman's attacks are absolutely crazy.
Zhao Hao said sincerely: Although the disciples are afraid of you, they are still very grateful to you.
Geng Feng scratched his head. He was not used to other people's polite manners and said: The madman said goodbye. A white light flashed past him and he teleported away.
After a while, Nashan happily brought Zhao Zhifei back. He stroked his bald head with a playful smile and said, "This guy wants to go to Tange too. Do you want me to take him with me?" Li Qiang said, "Why are so many people going? I just want to see Brother Hou and come back."
It's not like I'm going on a trip.
Nashan immediately said honestly: Hey, that’s what I said too. He quickly made it clear that it was none of my business.
Li Qiang smiled and said: I like you, you are still the same. Nashan laughed happily and said: It is more comfortable to follow the boss. The rules here are too big.
Zhao Hao shouted: Nashan, what did you say?
Nashan was so frightened that he shrank his neck and said repeatedly: I didn’t say anything. I don’t dare to say nonsense.
After coming out of the teleportation array of Tianting Star, there is still the endless Gobi Desert outside. Zhao Zhi said: Boss, how do we go? Li Qiang no longer needs to fly. He easily releases a circle of golden light and the three of them teleport away together.
The golden light flashed and the three of them landed beside a sparse bush. Nashan looked around and asked: Boss, where are we?
There is a line of green city wall in the distance, looming in the thin dusk. Zhao Zhi's eyes are sharp and he wonders: This is the city wall of the ancient Song Dynasty. Which city is this?
Li Qiang said: This is Hanlin City in the ancient Song Dynasty. The first time I went to this city for cultivation, I even accepted Zhao Hao as a registered disciple. Haha, I really want to go over and see if we can change our clothes and enter the city like this. Say
After shaking his body, the evolved Qingtian Divine Armor transformed into the young master's attire, wearing sky blue satin clothes and trousers with dark flowers. He then took out a folding fan from his bracelet and said with a smile: "Quick change, quick change. Let's go to the city to play. It will get dark soon."
Hurry up.
Zhao Zhi and Nashan were urged by Li Qiang to change their clothes in a hurry. Fortunately, they were both from Tianting Star. Their storage belts had their usual clothes and they changed quickly. Zhao Zhi was also a bodyguard.
The dressing up of Nashan in the nursing home is quite exaggerated. This guy actually dressed up as a gangster. He was wearing a black satin short coat and a small vest. A wide cowhide belt buckle was tied around his waist and the legs of black silk bloomers were incredibly fastened.
A pair of wooden clogs made a clattering sound when walking.
Li Qiang suppressed a smile and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go into the city."
The three of them arrived on the road in the blink of an eye as if they were gliding on the ground at extremely fast speeds.
The three of them unanimously slowed down and walked toward the city gate like normal mortals. There were very few pedestrians on the road and it was almost dusk. Li Qiang and the other three walked leisurely toward the city gate with empty hands.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were ready to close the city gate. There was only a crack left in the city gate, which was only large enough for one person to pass through. Four soldiers listlessly checked the people entering the city. One of the soldiers suddenly shouted: Look at those three people. Only Li Qiang was seen.
The three of them wandered over.
Stop who?
Nashan said with a smile: "Let's go to the city for a walk." The three of them stood there carelessly. Li Qiang was still shaking a folding fan. But the bad thing is that it happened to be the early winter season and the cold wind was biting. His folding fan was really too dazzling. Everyone else was wearing thick clothes.
The three of them wore summer clothes and jackets. No wonder they couldn't feel the cold outside at all.
The four soldiers, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, each pulled out their sabers and shouted at one of the three soldiers: "Take out the road guide."
Li Qiang felt very interesting. He remembered that when he first came, a soldier named Hua asked him for directions. Now he is probably no longer alive.
Li Qiang spread his hands and said, "I don't have a guide. We are just going into the city to have fun, so don't be nervous. In fact, he just wanted to experience the secular world, so it was very interesting that he didn't move directly into the city to interact with mortals."
The four soldiers became even more nervous after hearing what he said, holding up the swords in their hands and keeping their distance as if they were facing a formidable enemy. One soldier shouted: Come on, come on, come on! A rush of footsteps sounded.
Li Qiang and the others looked at Nashan with a smile and touched his bald head and said, "Why are they so nervous? It's weird for me, Nashan, not to eat people."
A small official with a knife led a dozen gatekeepers and rushed out, shouting: "What's going on? What's going on?"
The soldiers reported: Three unidentified people have arrived and want to enter the city.
The ninth-grade official was a middle-aged man. He looked at the three of them up and down and couldn't figure out who they were. He asked: Where did you come from? What happened to Hanlin City?
Zhao Zhi took a step forward and said: My young master came back from other places and wanted to go to the city to play. As he spoke, a gold ingot weighing twelve pounds appeared in his hand like a magic trick. Zhao Zhi was originally an escort in the escort agency. He has many ways to get through.
This time he used gold to open the way.
Sure enough, the little official's eyes lit up. Zhao Zhi put the gold into his hand and whispered: "Buy some wine for the brothers, let's go to the city to have fun and then leave." The little official held the ingot of gold tightly with a smile on his face.
Smile: Hey, isn’t this a distinguished guest from the capital? I’m sorry for my blindness, but I didn’t recognize it just now. Please treat me.
Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh. The power of gold was simply unstoppable. He lightly tapped the officer's shoulder with his folding fan and said with a smile: "Not bad, very clever. Let's go and the three of us entered the city in a big way."
When the three of them walked away, the junior officer suddenly sighed: Damn, it's great if you have money. Brothers, I'll treat you to Deyilou tomorrow.
It was getting dark, and every household's chimney was emitting curls of green smoke. There was a faint fragrance of food floating in the air. The streets were empty and few pedestrians were seen. Some families hung two lanterns at the door. The dark streets looked very deserted.
Nashan took a deep breath: Oh, I haven't eaten for a long time. That's why I haven't eaten since I started cultivating.
Zhao Zhi said: Yes, I used to love food the most. I haven’t had a good meal since I came to Feng Yuan Star to practice cultivation. Boss, let’s find a place to eat.
Li Qiang has been silent since he entered the city. The great changes in Hanlin City made him sigh with emotion. The city was much more run-down than when he first came here, and it no longer looked like a city. He turned around a street and stopped.
He came down and said: This turned out to be Zhao Hao’s home.
Nashan said curiously: Didn't Lao Zhao own a bank? This is now a restaurant. Hey, the restaurant is quite lively.
The restaurant was brightly lit. It was unexpected to see such a lively restaurant in such a deserted city. Li Qiang said: Go in and have a look. Zhao Zhi rushed forward and pushed open the door of the restaurant and the three of them walked in.
The heat wave that hit his face as soon as he entered the hall downstairs made Li Qiang even more curious. The people eating and drinking inside were all young and strong men.
When the waiters in the store saw the three people coming in, they immediately came over to greet them. One of them hesitated and said: "Sorry, three guests. The store has been booked. Please go elsewhere."
Zhao Zhi sent a message: Boss, look at the two people in the corner of the room who are cultivators.
As soon as Li Qiang came in, he realized that they were two cultivators with low levels of cultivation who probably would not be able to pass the heartbeat stage. The two of them occupied a large table, which was piled with various dishes.
Nashan said in a rough voice: We want the seats upstairs and if the ones downstairs are reserved, we will reserve the ones upstairs.
The waiter looked embarrassed and said with a smile: We also have a guest officer upstairs.
Li Qiang walked upstairs without saying anything.
The clerk wanted to stop him but didn't dare. He followed Li Qiang and said nonchalantly: "The guest house upstairs is indeed booked. There is also a big restaurant, Deyilou, on Keguan Qian Street. You can go there to dine."
The three of them ignored him and walked up the spacious wooden stairs. At the entrance of the stairs, they were blocked by four yamen servants.
These government officials have long been rude.
Originally, Li Qiang didn't care which restaurant he entered. It was just the two cultivators sitting downstairs who made him curious. He must know that this is Tianting Star. Cultivators are rare. General cultivators are the targets of various countries. Hanlin City is a
Two cultivators actually appeared in the small restaurant, and they were still sitting downstairs. Then there must be more powerful cultivators upstairs. What’s interesting is that there were officials from Hanlin City inside. Li Qiang wanted to find out even more.
.
Li Qiang laughed and said: Who is this? Li Qiang was originally the prince of the old Song Dynasty. Although he has not come back for a long time, his reputation in the old Song Dynasty is very famous, second only to the legendary holy king and his magnanimity after cultivating the gods.
He was completely different from ordinary people, so those government officials did not dare to be too presumptuous.
An older government official said: "Ahem, yes, our royal family is here to entertain you."
Nashan seemed to have remembered something and said loudly: Oh, it turns out that the prefect is inviting guests. Go and inform him that there are guests from the capital asking if he has seen him. He pushed aside the four government officials and deliberately lowered his voice and said: Your Majesty, please.
Li Qiang hit Nashan's bald head with a folding fan and thought: I almost forgot that I was still the prince of the old Song Dynasty. He walked up with a smile.
The government officials looked at Li Qiang in disbelief. Nashan said impatiently: Go and report it!
The four yamen servants clearly heard what Nashan called Li Qiang. The prince from the capital was the older yamen servant who woke up first. He was not sure whether Nashan's words were true, but he did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed and said: Please
Three adults, wait a moment.
There was a screen at the top of the stairs on the second floor. A government servant turned around the screen and went in to report. Soon he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from behind the screen. A group of artificially fat men wearing dark red robes took a moment to look at Li Qiang and the others.
With a smile on his face, he said: May I ask who is coming from the capital?
Nashan didn't say anything, raised his hand and threw him a gold medal. It was the gold medal he had when he served as a bodyguard in the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty. Anyone who is an official of the Song Dynasty should know that it is the gold medal of a first-class bodyguard.
Zhao Zhi also joined in the fun and threw a gold medal to the fat man, which was also the status symbol of a first-class bodyguard.
The fat magistrate's legs went weak and he knelt down. He said tremblingly: "The magistrate of Hanlin City, Jiang Weiguang, paid homage to the three adults. When he knelt down, all the government servants and masters around him knelt down. Even the waiter who followed Li Qiang upstairs was frightened.
Kneel down and kowtow.
Li Qiang opened the folding fan with a loud bang and said with a smile: Magistrate Chiang, please get up.
Jiang Weiguang felt uneasy. Two first-class guards suddenly arrived in the capital. The young man in the middle was even more extraordinary. He had just heard the report from the yamen servant that a prince had arrived. He didn't believe it yet, but now he would rather believe that there is one.
He didn't dare to ask Li Qiang which prince he belonged to. He stood up and quickly invited Li Qiang and the others to sit down.
After walking around the screen, I saw a large round table in the middle of the hall. The dishes on the table were all cold dishes and there were no hot dishes. There were seven or eight large candles as thick as a child's arms placed around it, illuminating the entire hall. There were people sitting on the wine table.
He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be meditating. There were two cultivators standing behind him.
When Li Qiang saw the man, he couldn't help but laugh and said: Haha, it turns out it's you. We haven't seen each other in this life for a long time.
