Lin Zhao's words were straightforward and candid, but it was He Shufan's turn to feel a little embarrassed.
"Master Linshan."
He Shufan said: "Actually, it's really not about Xunlujian..."
"Okay, okay."
Huang Tingyu squinted his eyes, looked at the chief worshiper He Wei, and said with a smile: "Friend He Wei, we haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years, right? I didn't expect that the wild cultivator who was beaten to a pulp by me.
Now I have become the chief retainer of the He family in Shuzhou. I have made great progress. Congratulations. I will no longer have to compete with wild dogs for food."
"..."
He Wei looked embarrassed, but did not dare to overstep anything. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last seen Huang Jianxian. The mountain top garden is really full of talents. These two should be Su Qingjiu and Gao Zhi."
Great Sword Immortal, right?”
Su Qingjiu, Zhiyi.asxs.He smiled.
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "If nothing happens, we will continue our journey."
"etc."
He Shufan took out a jade plaque from his arms. The jade plaque was extremely delicately carved. In the center was a small seal inscribed with the four words "arrived in case of trouble". It was full of aura and must have been a treasure on the mountain. He Shufan said in a deep voice:
"This is a distress card unique to our Shuzhou He family. Once something critical happens, the mountain owner can crush this distress card, and the people nearby who hold the distress card will know about it."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Lin Zhao accepted the trouble card, clasped his fists at the group of people from the He family in Shuzhou, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's say goodbye."
"Okay, let's just say goodbye."
…
Lin Zhao led everyone away slowly and passed through a dense forest. Lin Zhao frowned and said, "How about the He family in Shuzhou?"
"They're just a bunch of roosters, dogs, and thieves."
Huang Tingyu sneered and said: "The Queen Mother He is sitting in Baidi City, and together with Zhao Shutong and Zhao Qiyang, she is helping the young emperor Zhao Jingheng to ascend the throne. But the Queen Mother He is a member of the He family after all. She supports Zhao Jingheng as the emperor.
His own future is, secondly, for the He family, and even to balance the power of Baidi City, he would not hesitate to cooperate with Zhao Qiyang to suppress his daughter Zhao Shutong. Otherwise, with Zhao Shutong's prestige and skills in the military,
I’m afraid he is already the real person in charge of Baidi City.”
Gao Zhi said: "In the Western Shu state, the He family and the Li family have been fighting for many years. In Shu state, the world is divided equally. Now that the Xunlu sword has appeared, the He family must want to leave the Xunlu sword somewhere.
If Gu Yanshu holds the Xunlu Sword and becomes a disciple of the He family, then the He family will probably rise not only in Shuzhou but also in the whole world."
Su Qingjiu said softly: "Brother Lin Zhao, He Shufan is an eleventh-level sword cultivator himself, and his strength is pretty good. With five hundred monks of the He family, plus a twelve-level He Shufan, their intentions are already quite clear.
, just to enter Shuzhou to seize the deer sword. As for the demon clan’s plan, I’m afraid the He family has never considered it at all.”
"No matter how many there are."
Lin Zhao frowned and said: "Continue to explore the Qinling Mountains, try to find Gu Yanshu first, and control him first."
"Um!"
…
On the other side, He Shufan and He Wei walked side by side against the wind, followed by a group of worshiping monks.
"Little Lord."
He Wei frowned and said: "Just now... I shouldn't have been so rude to Lin Zhao. The mountain top garden is no better than the average sect in the world. Although the mountain top garden is not included in the mountain genealogy of our Great Shang Dynasty,
But after all, that person is Lin Baiyi. His prestige both on the mountain and below is quite good. In addition, the three people he brought are all quite outstanding people. Su Qingjiu, recognized as the strongest in the twelve realms in the world, Huang
Ting Yu and Chu Zhi are both peak swordsmen of the Twelfth Realm. Lin Zhao and his group are very important in the situation in Shuzhou. Don't offend them if you can."
"I know."
He Shufan said: "Actually, I didn't intend to offend Lin Zhao. He is Lin Baiyi. I didn't even have time to respect him. I was just quick to speak and accidentally said what was in my heart. It's precisely because of this
, and then I sent a distress card to make amends, but I don’t know what Lin Zhao, Su Qingjiu and others were thinking about this remedy..."
"well."
What's a sigh? What kind of remedy is this? It's obviously just superfluous. Even if the three peak twelfth-level sword immortals encounter a crisis, even they can't solve the crisis. I'm afraid that all the people from the Shuzhou He family can be filled in.
It can’t be solved, right?
He glanced at He Shufan. Although the young master is a born swordsman, he is the most outstanding among the younger generation in Shuzhou in terms of sword practice. Unfortunately, he is still far behind in terms of experience in the arena and lacks a lot of polish. Before doing anything,
I didn't think much about it. It might not be a good thing for the family leader to let the young master try to take power so early. It would actually be better to let him stay in the world for a few more years.
Thinking of this, He Wei frowned. His errand was obviously a hard job. He just hoped that he would not meet the demon clan in the upper five realms, otherwise it would be really troublesome. However, he remembered the words of the family leader before leaving, "In case of trouble.
If you don't decide, self-preservation comes first." This sentence was quite heart-warming, and even He Wei was a little moved.
He looked at He Shufan, and if he could save it, he would save it; if he couldn't, he would have to deal with the young master.
…
In the mountains.
Liu Xingshu took out pieces of white cloth, connected with the soil, scraped out pieces of Xiao Cong's flesh and blood, and gathered them all together. This kept him busy for a long time, but Liu Xingshu did not feel tired. On the contrary, he only felt that he was incompetent.
I'm sorry, junior brother, Liu Xingshu couldn't stop crying when she saw the bloody pieces.
It's all your own fault, it's all your own fault.
Liu Xingshu's eyes were filled with tears. If he had the level of cultivation of Junior Brother Gu Lingyu, a Confucian twelfth realm, I'm afraid the result would be different. No matter how strong Gu Yanshu was, he would never be able to defeat him and Xiao Cong, but
However, he is just a waste who studies and obtains fame, and only has a level of cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm.
The regret in his heart tortured him all the time.
After a long experience, Liu Xingshu dug a green grave under the green mountain and buried Xiao Cong in it. He immediately took the rock as a monument and engraved the words Xiao Cong, a disciple of the Confucian Academy. After finishing all this, Liu Xingshu slowly left.
, he did not dare to walk in the air, as he would be killed at any time in the wilderness, so he had to carry a bamboo box and walk alone in the mountains and forests.
…
Qinling Mountains, deep in the mountains.
The young sword cultivator in an ivy-colored gown was traveling around the mountains and rivers. It was Lin Zhujie. Although Lin Zhujie accepted the orders of Yao Zushan, he was quite disdainful of what Zushan had done. He attacked and killed Lord Ning Haoshou of Dongyue Mountain and laid a plan.
A nine-star formation triggered the sinking of the land on the east side of the human race. Is this done in an authentic way? In Lin Zhujie's view, it is very unauthentic, even unscrupulous and crazy. The life of my demon clan is the life of that human clan.
Isn’t it life?
Therefore, Lin Zhujie did not participate in the strangulation of Ning Haoshou, nor the arrangement of the Nine Star Formation, but he could not really do nothing, so he traveled deep in the Qinling Mountains to see if he could encounter anything.
The person who deserved to be killed was chopped off with a sword and his head was taken away. When he turned around and saw the Demon Ancestor, he was given an explanation.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhujie came to a green mountain and green water. In front of him was a blue lake with lakeside boulders all around the edge. This place was named "Xianren Diao" on the map compiled by the Yaozu landscape monks. It is said that there are
There are many ancient rhymes. If you have the opportunity, you can understand the sword intention, fist intention, or spiritual rhyme of the ancient saints.
So, Lin Zhujie put down his luggage, took out his green bamboo pole, and started fishing by the lake. Lin Zhujie was quite familiar with fishing. He used to fish a lot to pass the time in the world of monsters, which annoyed many big fish in the water.
Monster, even Lu Huan pointed at Lin Zhujie’s nose and scolded him. Fortunately, Lu Huan had just fallen into a bad situation at that time, and his fighting ability was mediocre. Instead, he was pinned down by Lin Zhujie in the bamboo forest and beaten, and he lost all face.
After the fight, no one should tell anyone about the appointment to avoid embarrassment.
Soon after, a herring took the bait.
Lin Zhujie threw the fish into the water with a bamboo fish guard and kept it first. He was already thinking about what to do for dinner. For herring, braised or boiled in soup will do, but raw fish will not work. Lin Zhujie is particular about people and loves to be clean.
, I am afraid that there may be parasites in the fish meat. If it is braised, the umami flavor may be lost a lot. As for making soup, the meat of herring is actually not that tender. The soup is far inferior to white fish, cocked mouth, red tail, etc.
Type, for a moment, he was so confused that he almost lost his mind just for a dinner.
Just when Lin Zhujie was in confusion, a figure in the distance floated from the bamboo forest and landed on the lakeside. It was a young swordsman wearing a purple gown, with two swords on his back. He sat down in the forest.
On the opposite shore to the bamboo joint, a pair of green bamboo poles were also taken out for fishing.
"It turns out he is a fishing friend in the rivers and lakes."
Lin Zhujie smiled and continued fishing.
The fishing friend was none other than Gu Yanshu, who had just beheaded Confucian swordsman Xiao Cong. The two swords he carried behind him were the Xunlu Sword and the other was Xiao Cong's sword "Hongchen".
…
Gu Yanshu was wearing a purple gown and was fishing by the lake. In fact, he could not tell the clues about Lin Zhujie. He only thought that this man was probably a middle-level fifth-level human monk with an average appearance and average cultivation. He was not qualified to let him win the prize.
Jian, this kind of person is just trying to get enough food and clothing in the wilderness. He is not qualified to unsheath the Xunlu Sword. Moreover, the Xunlu Sword must drink blood when it is unsheathed. The blood he drinks will eventually feed back Gu Yanshu's cultivation.
, so the person in front of me is even less qualified to ask him about swordsmanship.
However, not long after Gu Yanshu fished, he discovered a clue. The young swordsman in the ivy-colored gown in the distance was not only fishing when he was fishing, but there were even thin traces lingering around the fishhook.
The sword intention.
No, that person is not an ordinary monk, but a sword cultivator in the upper fifth realm!
With a "wow" sound, Gu Yanshu stood up slowly, pulled out the Xunlu Sword and rushed forward through the lake water. He cut open a pool of water with one sword and sneered: "Since he is a sword cultivator in the fifth realm, he has the right to die in front of me."
The sword is down!"
…
"Snapped!"
Lin Zhujie threw the fishing rod directly into the water, drew his sword and said sternly: "I'm just worried that you idiot won't do it!"
