Lu Jing and Nan Fengmian squatted in front of a small pond, looking down at the green water in front of them.
The water in the pool is quite clear, and you can vaguely see the white stones at the bottom of the pool. The white stones and the green water are intertwined, making the scenery of this small pool even better.
"I raised this tortoise for four years, and then I went to Yin County in Shanyin County, Northern Qin, where I was away for twelve years. On the way back, I was always thinking about the tortoise meat, thinking that if it was stewed first and then roasted, it would be extremely delicious.
"
Nan Fengmian was still wearing blue clothes. His hair was tied back casually and flowing down. His eyes were clear but somewhat free and easy.
At this time, on some moss-covered stones by the pool, a green turtle slowly crawled across. There were some strange lines on the turtle's back, which looked very different from ordinary turtles.
"But when I returned to Taixuanjing and caught this tortoise, I suddenly didn't want to eat it. If I think about it carefully, this tortoise is still too thin. It might be more delicious if I could make it fatter."
Nan Fengmian's eyes fell on the green turtle. Lu Jing also looked sideways at the slowly crawling green turtle and reminded: "Brother Fengmian, this is a green ghost turtle, not some bastard. I have also read the book
It is recorded in the book that the meat of this kind of turtle tastes dry and has no gelatin, so it is not delicious."
Nan Fengmian raised his eyebrows and sighed: "It's better to study. You can know the world's affairs without going out. When I was young and wandering, I always thought about traveling around the world with a sword, so I didn't read many books.
In the twelfth year of the Northern Qin Dynasty, I was only thinking about how to kill people. There were not many books in the army of the Northern Qin Dynasty or even in the homes of ordinary people.
The Great Candle King burned hundreds of classics, and the fire of Qin destroyed countless learnings, making it even more difficult to study there."
Lu Jingdao: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. In fact, for scholars, both reading and traveling are indispensable.
I am seventeen years old, and the farthest place I have ever been is Jiao Shen Mountain. Now there are many trivial things in Xuandu. When I leave Xuandu... I am afraid there will still be many killings and calamities waiting for me.
But soon, I will definitely leave this prosperous place, and just like Brother Feng Mian, I will walk around the world and see what kind of world is outside the prosperous Taixuan Jing."
Nan Fengmian touched the Xinggu Master on his waist, and his eyes gradually became solemn. He turned his head and said to Lu Jing carefully: "You are still young, and you have talents that are incomparable to others. There is no need to be so anxious.
If you practice peacefully in Taixuan Capital and have Mr. Guanqi teach you, within three to five years, you will have great achievements in both your knowledge and your practice, and there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Uncharacteristically, Nan Fengmian's tone was no longer so free and easy, but became very serious.
Lu Jing was a little surprised.
Nan Fengmian thought for a while and then said: "When I walked around the world, people in the world didn't know my name, nor did they know the real person who was Xinggu in my waist.
But you are different, you are the young leader of Taixuanjing, a seventeen-year-old Shenhuo monk.
You don’t have to worry much if you live in Taixuanjing, but when you step out of Taixuanjing, all kinds of eyes and all kinds of schemes will come to you."
"From all the sects and sects in the world, including Leiyin Temple, Pingping Township, Dao Sect, Dragon Palace in all directions, to Northern Qin and Qi, they will all turn their attention to you.
And I am also very sneaky and want to kill you. That is why I advise you like this. The way of a gentleman naturally requires traveling thousands of miles, but you cannot blindly follow knowledge. You need to pack your bag and equip yourself with a sword, and then find
Only a good horse can roam freely in this vast world."
Nan Fengmian spoke with sincerity and sincerity, and was indeed thinking about Lu Jing.
Lu Jing also thought seriously, then nodded and said with a smile, "Lu Jing understands."
Nan Fengmian saw that Lu Jing seemed to understand the meaning of his words, and then he added: "On the top of the mountain, you can see the rushing river; above the peaks, you can feel the mighty wind.
You walk around the world in the Divine Fire Void Realm, and you cannot see the top of the mountains or reach the peaks. Therefore, at the moment, you just focus on improving your cultivation.
If a storm comes, fight it off with your sword.
If there is no disturbance, just watch the flowers bloom and fall."
In a small pavilion not far behind the two of them, Nan Xuehu was making wine.
Today's Nanxuehu, like Lu Jing and Nanfengmian, hangs his snow-drinking knife on his waist.
From time to time, Qi and blood flowed into the Snow Drinking Knife, causing this fifth-grade sword to emit a soft cry.
The silver-white blade looks even sharper under the sunlight.
Nowadays, Nan Xuehu seems to have become accustomed to cooking wine and tea for Lu Jing and Nan Fengmian, and takes every action seriously.
Occasionally I look up and look at the backs of Nan Fengmian and Lu Jing. Listening to the two of them talking, I feel that there is a lot of truth in what they say.
"The wine is warm." Nan Xuehu said loudly.
Lu Jing and Nan Fengmian, who were squatting next to the small pond, stood up and walked towards the small pavilion.
In the small pavilion, the two of them were drinking. Nan Xuehu was sitting on the railing of the small pavilion, watching the famous horse crossing Longshan Mountain in the distance.
Yuelongshan's hair is getting brighter and brighter, and his body is full of energy and blood, making him look extremely strong.
Nan Fengmian also looked at Nan Xuehu's Yuelong Mountain and said: "Xuehu participated in the Battle of Shangjiang when he was young. That night, six hundred Yuelong Mountains crossed Changshui and poured into Shangjiang Mansion, infecting thousands of people in Shangjiang Mansion.
The blood of the guards.
It was also that night that Snow Tiger got the horse Yue Longshan. Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and the horse became stronger and stronger."
When Nan Fengmian said this, his eyes suddenly turned and he said to Lu Jing, "Do you have a mount?"
Lu Jing said with a smile: "Now that I am also in the divine fire realm, I can travel hundreds of miles with a sword light, and I don't need any mounts."
When Nan Fengmian heard Lu Jing's words, he shook his head seriously: "For a monk, having a famous horse is quite important.
It's fine if you stay in Taixuan Capital all the time, but if you want to travel far across the world, a famous horse that travels three thousand miles a day can guarantee the vitality of your soul.
Moreover, many places have no vitality, or are filled with mysterious miasma, making it difficult for spiritual thoughts to reach even an inch. A mount with a strong body and extraordinary foot power can ensure that your journey in the world is smooth."
"Especially for martial arts monks, if they have a good horse and the energy and blood of the mount are connected, their combat power can be greatly improved.
Just like the dragon horse of Zhongshan Hou. When Zhongshan Hou was victorious, the dragon horse in the sky smelled the scent of Zhongshan Hou, and did not hesitate to come down to earth to recognize Zhongshan Hou as his master.
The Marquis of Zhongshan was named Ma, and his combat power was great. In today's Taixuan Capital... although the Marquis of Zhongshan is young, his true strength is extremely powerful."
When Nan Fengmian said this, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Lu Jing, if you want a good horse, I can give you one."
Lu Jing was a little confused.
The smile on Nan Fengmian's face faded away and he said: "Since you broke into Hengshan Mansion, killed the owl, and taught the prince of Qi Gu Chenxiao a lesson, the girl in Taixuanjing has been involved in an ongoing incident.
The disappearances seemed to have suddenly stopped.
There has been no missing girl in the past few days."
Nan Xuehu, who was beside them, snorted coldly.
Lu Jing frowned and asked, "So...brother Feng Mian thinks that the missing girl case that has been rumored for many days is related to Gu Chenxiao?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately nodded and said: "The prince of Qi, Gu Chenxiao, has a big devil in his heart. When I was testing in front of the palace, Gu Chenxiao wanted to stop me and used the glazed heavenly wheel to attack me.
At that time, I felt that there were bursts of demonic energy spurting out of his innate Qi and blood, which was cold and terrifying.
I don't know how much evil energy is contained in it, as if the big demon survives by devouring the fear, pain, and despair of living beings.
The reputation of Gu Chen, the crown prince of Qi, for his evil deeds has long been spread throughout the world, and he enjoys beheading and skinning people for fun.
This kind of people...even if they enter Taixuanjing, they will never give up raising the demon in their hearts."
Nan Fengmian would not agree, and a murderous intention flashed in his eyes: "There is also news from Nanguo Gongfu's business in Qi that Gu Chenxiao was almost eliminated by you. Many powerful people have left Qi and gone to Taixuan Capital.
I came here. I think I came to Hengshan Mansion to protect the Crown Prince of Qi.
Today, because you obeyed the law and dampened Gu Chenxiao's spirit, he wanted to heal his wounds again so that the innocent girls in Xuandu would not encounter the clutches of the devil.
But if those powerful men from Qi State enter the capital together, and there will also be a few seventh-level monks among them, then what will happen if you have two treasures that can control the wind and rain and can no longer directly enter Hengshan Mansion?"
Lu Jing's face was expressionless, and he looked down at the two swords on his waist that could control the wind and rain, and said: "Brother Feng Mian, although I am only a cultivator of the third level of divine fire, it does not mean that... my combat power is limited to this.
Although the seventh realm is far away from me, when the powerful men from Qi State enter Xuandu and I have perfected my magical powers, I will still be able to fight."
"and……"
A flash of doubt flashed in Lu Jing's eyes: "And this is Dafu Taixuanjing! There are countless powerful people here, and there is an emperor who is called a holy king by all people sitting on the throne.
But even in the current situation, the prince of Qi has a special status and is bound to the vitality of all people, but those innocent people are my subordinates after all. If he is really unscrupulous and kills young girls, why don't the big shots in the court care about him?
?”
Only then, in front of Nan Fengmian, did Lu Jing's eyes flash with disgust.
Since it is in the name of a saint, it is the real kingdom of heaven and earth, and there are countless powerful people in Taixuan Capital, but they allow an evil prince to kill the people, this is really disgusting in the heart.
“Among those who sit in high positions, not all of them know this.
Dafu is huge, and they each perform their own duties. Even those with advanced cultivation are not all-powerful. If they set their sights on the entire Taixuan Capital, they will arouse suspicion and violate the rules."
Nan Fengmian sneered, his tone full of ridicule: "As for some people, I'm afraid they use the lives of innocent people as some kind of bargaining chip."
Lu Jing's eyes opened and closed, and a ray of light flashed.
Nan Fengmian continued: "The prince of Qi has committed evil deeds in Taixuan Capital, and every life may be turned into a bargaining chip in the hands of the cloud people, but it has not yet been revealed.
But I always feel that one day, those chips will also play a role in the Northern Qin war."
"It's just...this method disgusts me."
Nan Xuehu on the side suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes and asked: "If we kill Gu Chenxiao, what will happen in the world?"
Lu Jing was silent.
Nan Fengmian's waist, Master Xinggu, kept whimpering. He lowered his head and stroked Master Xinggu, as if to soothe the famous sword, and then said, "Don't think about such issues.
Because Gu Chenxiao is related to the general trend of the world, the Qi State was initially hostile to Dafu. However, with the rise of Northern Qin in the past few decades, and the fact that King Qi Yuan was indeed unparalleled in his youth, Dafu and Qi State gradually became friendly.
It's been decades now.
The arrival of Gu Chen in Xuandu means that the relationship between the two countries has reached a certain peak."
"So... in this Taixuan Capital, no one can kill Gu Chenxiao."
Nan Xuehu hit the pillar of the small pavilion with a hammer. The small pavilion did not move at all, but the pillar was smashed through by Nan Xuehu.
"This is too frustrating. Such evil people can sit high in Hengshan Mansion and dominate and do evil, and even do such evil things."
Lu Jing, who was silent, suddenly drank the wine in the glass in front of him and said: "Since the people in the clouds only regard Gu Chenxiao as a chess piece, and those women who died innocently are not even as good as chess pieces.
We can also find another way."
Lu Jing's eyelids drooped slightly: "Qi State sent people to Xuandu, and Gu Chenxiao wanted to rely on the power of these strong men to dominate...
If the powerful men of Qi State could be prevented from entering Taixuan Capital and unable to enter Xuandu, this matter would become simple.
If no strong man from Qi State enters Xuandu, Gu Chenhao will be nothing more than a lonely man. Just keep a close eye on him. If he dares to leave Hengshan Mansion within a year, I will destroy him again."
The smile on Nan Fengmian's face showed again, and he laughed loudly: "I have had this thought in my mind for a long time, and just now I asked you if you want a famous horse, it should be here.
I heard that two of the people from Qi who came to Taixuanjing this time were the most tyrannical.
There is a man who has cultivated to reflect the fifth ancient star. His name is Gao Li. He is the fifth level of the star. Even in this vast world, he is a famous and strong man. He sits on a famous horse named Zhaoye, and has Yu.
It is called a lion. It is said that its body is white as snow and can illuminate the night. It is extremely extraordinary. Even ordinary sixth-level monks cannot defeat this famous horse.
I speculate that this powerful man from Qi State came to Xuandu because he had important matters, and he was not just here to protect the crown prince of Qi State.
The other one is a third-level god, named Jian Qiushui. He comes from Jixia Jiange of Qi State. It is said that he was born with a sword in his mouth and is one of the geniuses of Qi State."
"In addition, there are several sixth-level innate and divine fire cultivators. The arrival of so many powerful men is enough to show how angry Gu Chenxiao is."
Nan Fengmian's tone was calm, and the Xinggu Master around his waist had also become quiet and did not make the slightest sound.
Lu Jing instantly understood what Nan Fengmian meant...
This Nan Fengmian actually wanted to rob and kill those powerful men of Qi outside Taixuan Capital.
Nan Xuehu on the side also clearly sensed that... even the air around him had a bit more blood smell.
"It's just not easy to kill..."
Nan Fengmian smiled and said: "It's not difficult for me to kill Gao Li, but when a strong man from Qi comes to Taixuanjing, there must be other matters.
But I don’t know if anyone in Taixuan Capital will stop him.
With so many strong men from Qi dying outside Taixuanjing, Taixuanjing will definitely hold them accountable."
Lu Jing smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves and said, "Since we are going to take action, we must carefully consider the consequences."
Nan Xuehu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Nan Fengmian and Lu Jing: "Are they not going to kill them?"
"kill!"
Nan Fengmian replied: "Although these powerful men in Qi have extraordinary status, there is still a huge gap compared to Gu Chenxiao.
Looking at the past wars, frictions, and diplomacy between Dafu and Qi, as long as there is a suitable reason, Qi will never fall out with Dafu over this."
Nan Fengmian smiled brightly and said to Lu Jing: "You don't need to worry about this matter. After this... Taixuanjing will punish me for my crimes. I will... go to Qi in person."
Lu Jing and Nan Xuehu's expressions changed, and they frowned and looked at Nan Fengmian.
Nan Fengmian drank tea calmly, shook his head and said: "Your cultivation is still weak, so it won't make any difference.
And I...when I traveled in my early years, I had already heard many evil things about King Qi Yuan.
I have long wanted to visit Qi State and see what the country called the Hell of Flesh and Blood is like.
I have Master Xing Gu, and I boast in my heart that I have cultivated a chivalrous sword light. Now that I am a chivalrous person, I cannot kill King Qi Yuan?"
When Nan Fengmian said this, the heroic spirit in his eyes became more and more intense, and the energy and blood around him surged. Even the famous horse Yue Longshan in the distance was shocked by the energy and blood and was trembling.
Lu Jing looked at Nan Fengmian who was so high-spirited and wanted to cut off King Qi's throne, and he felt even more admiration in his heart.
"Two seventh realms, several sixth realms..."
Lu Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although Brother Feng Mian is strong in cultivation and has a sharp and heavy sword, it would be impossible to kill so many strong men quickly.
Every quarter of an hour, many things will happen.
Therefore... you cannot face the enemy alone."
Nan Fengmian heard the hidden meaning in Lu Jing's words, but did not agree.
"As I said just now, you just need to practice peacefully now and don't have to get involved in many things.
You have to focus on the world, and you also need to be wise and protect yourself. You don't have to take risks for nothing. And as I just said, your cultivation will not be of much help in this matter."
Nan Fengmian did not speak tactfully.
Two seventh-level monks, several sixth-level monks... and among the sixth-level divine fire and innate monks, it is very likely that those who have reached the peak of the sixth level.
And Lu Jing, a third-level divine fire cultivator, really can't be of much help.
Lu Jing looked at Nan Fengmian who was so direct, smiled helplessly, and then said: "The capital of Qi is extremely far away from Taixuanjing, and the strong men in the seventh realm have to accommodate the monks in the sixth realm. They can't go fast...
…
It will take at least two months.
Two months is enough."
Nan Fengmian had an inquiring look on his face, and Lu Jing said with a smile: "Brother Fengmian, since we have become sworn sworn friends, we naturally have to advance and retreat together a lot of the time.
If you want to get rid of the evil evil of Hengshan Mansion in Taixuan Jing, I will naturally help you.
Maybe at that time, I can only use one sword, and it should be able to have some effect."
Nan Fengmian still shook his head and wanted to persuade him again.
But Lu Jing stood up and stretched: "I'm going back, there are people waiting for me at home."
Nan Fengmian said no more and waved his hand towards Lu Jing.
Nan Xuehu on the side jumped off the railing to see Lu Jing off.
The two of them left the courtyard and walked in the Duke of Nanguo's mansion.
Still silent at first.
After walking a hundred steps, Nan Xuehu, who was wearing a moonlight robe, suddenly said: "Mr. Lu Jing, Prince Xuanwei has already entered Xuandu, and there are still real dragons like Ao Jiuyi, Beique Mu, and Xiyun."
Bloodline.
They want to repay the blood debt from the daughter of King Chongan. Sir... you have an old relationship with the princess..."
Nan Xuehu started to speak but stopped.
Lu Jing looked at the hesitant Nan Xuehu and said with a smile, "What do you want to say?"
Nan Xuehu, a martial arts monk who once went to the battlefield to kill enemies without changing his expression, now seemed a little embarrassed.
He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and saluted Lu Jing: "Sir, you have a youthful spirit in your heart, and you also know how to cherish justice.
But... killing Yu Qixiang is a big deal for the dragons in the world. Prince Xuanwei is very powerful, and he is a rare fellow practitioner of martial arts and soul.
And as my uncle Feng Mian said, there are countless eyes in Taixuanjing watching you, waiting for you to reveal your flaws.
The battle between the Dragon and the daughter of King Chong'an is full of murderous intent. Once you participate in it, you will take the initiative to enter the game. Whether it is the Li family of Xuandu or the Duke of Chu, they no longer need to worry about your status as a law enforcer. Various murders and robberies will occur.
It turns into a wave and swallows you up."
Nan Xuehu took a deep breath, with some fatigue flashing in his eyes: "Please don't blame me, sir. The reason why Xuehu said these things is because for a long time, Xuehu has seen a lot of valuable things in him.
I can’t bear to have my husband die because of this.”
"Sir, now he holds the authority of the law in his hands, and he has two swords at his waist that can control wind and rain. Needless to say, he is gifted!
Precisely because of the authority granted by the Holy Lord himself, no one in Taixuan Capital can kill you openly.
But if you take the initiative to commit danger..."
The smile on Lu Jing's face gradually grew, and he just nodded lightly and said, "I understand."
Nan Xuehu was silent for a moment, but there was some emotion in his tone: "The fate of Yu Qixiang, the daughter of King Chong'an, lies in Taixuanjing. Sometimes fate cannot be defeated, and there is no justice about fate.
She slaughtered the Dragon Palace and carried out the killing, but she killed the most powerful true dragon in the world.
Under the sky, there are many powerful dragons. The strongest one is the old Zhulong of Luolong City. It is said that the dragon from Taichonghai will also come to Taixuanjing.
She killed the Dragon King of Beique Sea, but she couldn't do anything better...Although I heard about the flesh and blood formation in Beique Sea, I still don't want Mr. Lu Jing, a talented man, to be killed."
"There are countless people with qi in the world, but they should also seek good fortune and avoid harm... If Mr. dies, the world will lose a young hero who can kill evildoers."
Nan Xuehu whispered, looking a little unnatural.
Lu Jing took a careful look at Nan Xuehu, nodded and said: "You are still you, and you can shed your blood for those close to you.
You are also quite averse to evil things in the world, and you will help others if you can, but if you can't, you will avoid the risks."
Nan Xuehu was slightly startled, and Lu Jing added a little more approval in his tone: "This is your true intention. It would be great if you can always follow this."
At this time, Lu Jing's eyes were thoughtful, and he said in his heart: "I have already promised the princess, how can I break my promise?"
"And..." Lu Jing took a deep breath and touched the blessing pattern on his forehead. He was burning the Divine Fire of the Ming Dynasty and sitting on the Yuanshen under the Zhen Palace, and there was a strange energy lingering around him.
The vitality seemed to come from the two swords called Wind and Rain on Lu Jing's waist, and they were cultivating a...
Terrifying supernatural powers.
"Moreover, since I am known as the leader of young people, how can I always wait for someone to kill me?"
"Just like the Hengshan Mansion and his party! Since we already have swords, we might as well take the initiative to join the game. Baili Qingfeng, Taichong Longjun has already set the rules, I want to take a look..."
"Within these rules, can the Seventh Prince, Li Guanlong, kill me?"
——
On a city wall in Sanzhou, Chong'an.
Si Wanyu lowered his head and stared at the Northern Qin soldiers coming in the distance like a tide.
The magnificent blood is like a suspended sun, burning brightly.
Si Wanyu frowned and looked down, but his mind flowed far away, across the mountains and rivers, and landed in Taixuan Capital.
"I hope you can... come back safely."
