The long wind suddenly passed by, and the moonlight fell straight down.
Pei Yingui stood at the door. Hearing Lu Jing ask Gao Li's name, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Jing in surprise.
She frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Lu Jing, my mother and I have been under house arrest since childhood. The maids in the palace occasionally go out to buy and hear some news before they come back to tell us.
I happen to have heard of Gao Li's name because he is quite famous in Qi State."
"The fifth level of Zhaoxing Realm, even in this vast world, it is natural to be called a famous one." Lu Jing thought to himself.
Pei Yin did not mention Gao Li's name when he returned, but said: "The Gao family in Dongyang is extremely powerful in Qi State and has produced several generals.
But Gao Li was unwilling to lead an army or become a general. When he was young, he once rode a famous Zhaoye horse into Baigui Mountain by mistake, and got a famous sword from it.
That famous sword is called Shangui, and the famous sword Shangui can command the ghosts and gods living in the sword.
He has a famous sword and a famous horse, so the world also calls him Zhaoye Mountain Ghost, and he is famous all over the world."
"Later, he returned to the capital of Qi State. King Qi Yuan rewarded him heavily and promoted him to the rank of Gao family in Dongyang. He also became the next sharp sword to King Qi Yuan's throne."
Pei Yingui introduced it to Lu Jing carefully.
"Walked into Baigui Mountain by mistake?" Lu Jing sighed with emotion: "It is a bit strange that many powerful men in Qi State may have demons in their hearts, or they may be able to command mountain ghosts."
The spring breeze blew by, and the tassels of Pei Yingui's gauze clothes moved slightly. She reached out and put a strand of hair behind her ears, and said: "Qi State originally inherited the lineage of witch priests from the Taiwu Dynasty, but it was only because of the orthodox Confucianism and Taoism.
Only by explaining cultural influence can we get closer to the Central Plains.
But in fact, sacrificial rituals are still flourishing in various parts of Qi State, and ghost dances are also performed during festivals. Perhaps it is because of this historical origin that Qi State’s magical powers and martial arts become a bit weird.”
When Pei Yingui said this, he glanced at Lu Jing secretly, probably because he was afraid that Lu Jing would misunderstand, and explained: "Of course, there are not only weird magical powers and martial arts.
Qi State also has the Jixia Sword Pavilion, and the Hengshan Temple is also known as the most orthodox temple in the world.
If it weren't for Dafu Baiyi who carried the divine skills and the Two White Deer Swords, the Sword Master of the Sword Pavilion would have been the most promising figure to become the leader of the swordsmanship.
The old man Hengshan once left the Lu River and found three magical swords from the river. One is called Feijing, the second is called Liucai, and the third is called Huaxing. They are all famous swords in the world.
And the old man Hengshan is also known as the person in the world who is most expected to be able to rival the former leader and domineering general among swordsmen."
Even in the imperial palace of Qi, there sat a king who had created a hell of flesh and blood.
Even though Pei Yingui had lived in the cold palace since childhood, Pei Yingui's mother and concubine had once seen the homeland of Qi where the weather was bright and the flowers were in full bloom.
Her mother always told her about the beautiful scenery in the land of Qi.
Later, Pei Yingui escaped from the Qi Palace and was hunted down along the way. The land of Qi became gloomy in her eyes.
But more than half a year after he left, when Pei Yingui told Lu Jing, he was unwilling to talk more about the darkness in his hometown.
"I have never been to Jiange, nor to Hengshan. When the person on the throne dies and turns into bones to be sacrificed to the land of Qi, I must go to Hengshan to see if it is really that majestic and spectacular."
Hengshan is the highest mountain in Qi State. It is said that a strong man with extraordinary cultivation can see the fairy tower in the sky and the real Mingyu Capital at the top of Hengshan Mountain.
Lu Jing looked at Pei Yingui and sighed, but did not interrupt her. After a while, he said: "Gao Li will bring Jian Qiushui and several Shenhuo monks to Taixuan Capital."
Pei Yingui's expression suddenly changed, she glanced at Lu Jing worriedly, and solemnly reminded Lu Jing: "Gu Chenxiao is possessed by a demon. He is usually crazy, but he will retaliate.
Mr. Lu Jing, once Gao Li enters Taixuanjing, the ban imposed on Hengshan Mansion by your former family will only..."
"Moreover, it is said that Gao Li's Yuan Shen illuminated the fourth star a long time ago. The Yuan Shen is quite powerful. He is also in Taixuan Capital. Mr. Lu Jing should be more careful."
Lu Jing nodded slowly and took a step forward. He suddenly thought of the Bone Palace built by Gu Chenxiao in Qi State, and felt a sense of disgust in his heart for no reason.
"Miss Pei, Gu Chenxiao obviously practices Huang Huang martial arts, but he has a big demon in his heart.
Since he came to Taixuanjing, he has been kidnapping women from the people for the demon in his heart to devour. However, such people have the power to avoid death, and they are ambushing thousands of people of Qi.
Girl, do you know...how to get rid of the big demon in his heart?"
Pei Yingui laughed, but her smile was a little bitter. She shook her head and said, "This is how many things in the world are. Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
I know that Mr. Lu Jing wants to do the next best thing and kill the big demon in Gu Chenxiao's heart so that he will no longer have thoughts of murder.
How can Mr. Lu Jing think that the reason why Gu Chenxiao is like this is because of the great devil?"
Lu Jing looked startled, but nodded, turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.
There are still lights in the small courtyard, because Ning Qiang and Lin Lonicera came to visit together today.
Every few days, Ning Qiang would come to this courtyard to see Qing Yue.
Qing Yue studied pharmacology with Mr. Shi Yi, and she actually gained a lot in two months, but she still didn't dare to prescribe random medicines on weekdays.
But a long time ago, Lu Jing had asked Mr. Eleven for a prescription because of Ning Qiang's health.
Qingyue checked the recipe and mixed it with many flowers and plants to help Ningqiang maintain her health.
With Mr. Eleven's medicine, and Qing Yue's careful and careful exploration of Ning Qiang's physical condition, she was supplemented with medicinal baths and scented tea.
Two or three months later, Ning Qiang's previous cough has been greatly relieved, and she is no longer the daughter who has to stop and rest every few steps.
To this day, the reason why there is a medicine that can cure the disease is probably because of Ning Qiang's heart disease.
Ning Qiang's original heartache was naturally her parents who died in a demon disaster.
But now, Ning Qiang still has something on her mind.
The three women gathered around the stove. Lin Rendong was comforting Ning Qiang: "With the old lady here, no one in the Lu family can marry you off. Don't worry too much."
Ning Qiang sighed, with a somewhat helpless tone: "These days, the Lu family is going to be in a lot of trouble because of the eldest master's taking in concubines.
Mrs. Zhong scolds those concubines every day, but the eldest master only cares about concubines and ignores many things in the house. There is no trace of him on weekdays.
Those new ladies just wanted to express their grievances, but they couldn't find the master.
It is said that many of them can only see the great master at night."
Ning Qiang was worried: "The Lu family is really in chaos now. Mrs. Zhong is busy dealing with those ladies, and the old lady seems to have forgotten me.
It's just...the old lady's health is getting worse day by day, especially in the past two or three months, she has become older and older, I'm afraid..."
When Ning Qiang said this, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes.
The old lady is not a loving old man in the eyes of most people in the Lu family, and many people even hate her.
But from Ning Qiang's point of view, the old lady loves her and protects her. Without the old lady, Ning Qiang doesn't know what she would do.
When Mrs. Ning and her cousin had a quarrel, Ning Qiang was in the middle and it was quite painful.
But now, the old lady's time is running out, and maybe Ning Qiang and Lu Qiong are the only two people in the entire Lu Mansion who are reluctant to let go of this old man.
"The old lady has lived a rich life and has been showing prestige all her life, but she will eventually sleep in the Lu Mansion that has become more and more dishonorable."
Lin Rendong's white hair was fluttering, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Ning Qiang looked around at today's boudoir.
"But I never thought that Qing Yue, who had suffered a lot with my cousin, is now living the best life and even became Mr. Shulou's disciple."
Ning Qiang looked at Qing Yue's beautiful face and said sincerely: "As a good person, you will be rewarded, so that's it.
With your cousin protecting you, you will feel more at ease than a young lady from a wealthy family."
Qing Yue's body exudes a refreshing fragrance, and her long hair is tied back casually, making her look gentle and lovely.
She smiled and said: "Miss Qiang, you took care of the young master by sending him meat and books when he was most sad.
With your temperament, I will naturally protect you, so don’t worry."
Qing Yue spoke very softly, but convincingly.
Lin Rendong took a closer look at Qing Yue and felt more and more that Qing Yue was even more beautiful now than before.
——
In the middle of the river, the earth is dry and cracked. Looking up, the originally fertile plain is desolate.
A bright sun shines in the sky, shining extremely hot sunlight. The sunlight shines on the bones on the roadside, and the bones are riddled with holes.
This place was originally the most fertile place, but later six million people died of starvation here. The rest of the living people were like ghosts and wandered around in all directions.
The drought is like a running beast, spreading towards the surrounding area.
But there are still people walking in this deserted place.
The man was carrying a black sword case on his back, and coupled with his white clothes, he looked a bit more mysterious.
This man in white clothes once entered the divine fire at the age of ten. Later, he got out of control and entered the deer pond. He was called by the immortal to go to the fairyland.
Later, he used the bones of the Lutan Immortal to forge a sword box, then entered the fairyland again, seized five thousand immortal swords from the Sword Immortal in the Sky, and forged two unparalleled swords.
One is called magic.
The second is White Deer.
Divine art, the Two White Deer Swords are firmly at the top of the swords today. Tens of thousands of swords in the world will contend with each other when they see the divine art, the Two White Deer Swords.
This man in white is the former Dafu Baiyi and the current leader of swordsmanship.
He walked along the middle of the river, not looking left or right, but looking at the road ahead.
The road ahead was deserted and desolate, and the man in white seemed to be looking for something.
Keep going until you come to a dry river.
The river was dry and there was no drop of water, but the man in white drew a stream of vitality from the empty river.
"Spiritual tide vitality."
The man in white held the vitality in his hand, the clouds and mist were gathering in the sky, and three stars were vaguely visible.
The swordsman leader ignored it and regarded the three stars in the sky as if they were nothing.
"The reappearance of the moon wheel is not a good thing. Emperor Chongtian... is no longer strong enough to control the moon wheel."
The man in white thought this in his mind, and with a gentle squeeze, the spiritual energy that could make the world's strong men flock to him was shattered.
The man in white looked as usual. He turned to look in the direction of Taixuanjing, as if he was waiting for something.
Taixuanjing has also undergone changes in these two or three months.
For example, Su Houcang of the Dazhu Kingdom led twelve generals to the Zhenxi Duhufu in an emergency. The Northern Qin Dynasty attacked Yuesheng. General Shentu personally led the army to suppress the western border. The champion general was unable to support himself, so the Dazhu Kingdom went to court in person to request a war.
Emperor Chongtian agreed and ordered him to go on an expedition.
This move by Northern Qin greatly relieved the pressure on the three states of Chong'an.
In addition, the Seventh Prince opened his mansion, and the Huai Gang stirred up rapids under the calm waters of Taixuanjing.
A second-in-command, wearing a black coat and a tall body of eight feet, gradually became a dominant figure in the underworld of Taixuanjing.
Taixuan Palace seems to be acquiescing that the Sophora Gang can exist in Taixuanjing. After all, even if it is as prosperous as Taixuanjing, it cannot avoid the existence of shadows.
In Hengshan Mansion, Gu Chenxiao summoned Fan Yuan every day to ask where Gao Li, Jian Qiushui and other powerful men from Qi had gone.
Until this day.
Gao Li and Jian Qiushui were already five hundred miles away from Jiao Shen Mountain.
At this point, they deliberately slowed down and ordered a Shenhuo monk Yufeng to enter Taixuanjing and report to Jingyin Mansion, Honglu Temple, and Hengshan Mansion.
So many government offices in Taixuanjing took action upon hearing the news.
Gu Chenxiao, who was working hard in the secret room, became more and more excited. His face was flushed and his body was still shaking slightly.
Immediately he looked at the woman wearing prison uniform on the table.
The woman's white prison uniform had been completely soaked in blood and turned red.
She opened her eyes, and her eyeballs almost burst out of her sockets. The intense pain seemed to have taken away her will, making her look ferocious and terrifying.
But Gu Chenxiao was obviously dissatisfied.
"It's boring, it's really boring."
Gu Chenxiao murmured to himself, and then he pushed down the table and let the flesh and blood fall to the ground.
"Where is Fan Yuan? Fan Yuan! Send someone to arrest a few people for me quickly."
"There are plenty of people in Taixuanjing, so why go far away? Just go to the nearby streets and catch a few people..."
Gu Chenxiao was hysterical: "I want to celebrate happily, and when Gao Li comes, I will kill Lu Jing.
The Great Fu Shengjun, the first assistant, and the general have never been imprisoned by me, but this Lu Jing..."
Fan Yuan accepted the order and left, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
And in Kongshan Lane, in front of the white plum blossom.
Lu Jing was teaching Pei Yingui to practice Guanghan Seal.
When someone walked out of Hengshan Mansion, Lu Jing, who was explaining, suddenly fell silent.
Pei Yin returned and looked at Lu Jing with some confusion.
But Lu Jing stood up and said, "Miss Pei, why don't you come with me for a walk?"
Pei Yingui had a strange look in his eyes and agreed.
The two walked out of Kongshan Lane and Yanglu Street.
When we came to another street, it was quite lively. There were many alleys on both sides of the street and many stalls.
Pedestrians wandered the streets, admiring the street scenery, and also bought some food to cheer them up.
It's just that... there are always dark alleys on both sides of the street.
There are always some women who will walk into it unintentionally and eventually disappear into the darkness.
Lu Jing and Pei Yingui stood on the roof, looking down at several men in black knocking out two women and a child.
Pei Yingui frowned.
Lu Jing's thoughts circulated and he said: "They are from Hengshan Mansion, and Gu Chenxiao is still the same as before."
Pei Yingui's long hair fluttered, and Guanghan Palace appeared in her hands.
When she bent her bow and set an arrow, her energy and blood created a mark, imprinting it on Guanghan Palace.
The arrow flew out silently and flew into the backs of several men in black.
"Actually, for many adults in Taixuan Jing, if you want to prevent Gu Chenxiao from killing people, it is as simple as sending someone to keep an eye on him."
Pei Yingui took a deep breath, jumped off the high wall, and looked at the two women and a child who were almost killed: "But why is no one paying attention?"
Lu Jing turned to look at Hengshan Mansion and said, "It's not that no one is paying attention. At least you and I are still staring at Hengshan Mansion."
