The sky was red with clouds, and the sea was covered with golden waves. The red sun was like a furnace of boiling water, gushing out, and the golden light shone brightly into the pavilion.
The whole room is very large, and is separated by a screen on the left, but you can still vaguely see a piano and a pipa.
Only the head of the guqin is exposed, but it can still be seen that the color is dark and old, which is completely inconsistent with the exquisite and rich style of the whole house, but there is a certain elegance in it.
In the pavilion, there was a beautiful woman sitting.
The woman was wearing a light green shirt, but her eyebrows were curved, her small nose was slightly upturned, her face was like white jade, and her face was as beautiful as a rosy face. There was a string of pearls hanging in her neck, which gave off a faint halo, making her face even more beautiful.
The pink-coated jade is average.
This is the oiran of Cuiyun Tower.
At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the bedside, looking at the crowded teahouse opposite, her eyebrows raised slightly.
At this time in the past, Cuiyun Tower was already overcrowded, but today it was deserted and there were few cars and horses.
"Xiaoyu!"
The oiran couldn't help shouting softly.
"Creak!"
A maid whom I saw not long ago quickly opened the door and entered, "Sister Rou'er, do you have any orders?"
The oiran asked curiously: "What's going on today? I see why the teahouse opposite is so busy?"
When the maid heard this, she immediately became interested and said: "Sister Rou'er, there is a storyteller who is telling the story about the dispute between Buddha and Demon in Tianwu Sect."
The oiran suddenly became interested, "Is the war between Buddha and Demon over? What is the result?"
When she was normal, she liked sword-wielding knights in the world. Not only were these people free and unrestrained, but they were also very generous with their actions.
The maid said: "This duel is really exciting. The one from the Buddhist sect is an eminent monk. He is a man of spiritual cultivation. He can even condense a giant Buddha. According to people in the world, he is about to become a real Buddha. And the person outside the sky that day is a giant Buddha."
The Sword Immortal is only in his early twenties now, and he looks handsome and graceful, with a jade tree in the wind."
The oiran couldn't help but asked curiously: "You're only in your early twenties, how young are you?"
"Yes, very young." The maid said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't get to witness this battle. It's really a great regret in life."
The oiran chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go and listen to a book."
"Are you really going?"
"Of course. No one is here to check today anyway. It's okay to go next door and listen to a book. I'm also very curious about the sword fairy you talk about."
With that said, the two women walked out of the pavilion and walked towards the crowded teahouse.
There are three floors inside and three floors surrounded by the teahouse. In the center of the teahouse stands a man in a blue shirt. He is holding a gavel in his hand.
"Snapped!"
I saw him slap the table hard and said, "The Buddhist Supreme Vajra will not be able to dismount. The showdown between Buddhism and Tianwaitian has become a foregone conclusion. As a place for competition, Tianwumen has been occupied by someone as early as the night before."
It is an excellent place for sightseeing. As expected, Wumen was packed with people the next day, and it was endless as far as the eye could see. Among the royal family, Empress Dayan was in charge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were by the side, and in addition there was the Grand Master.
Zhao Tianyi, Minister of Rites Zhu Yongfang, Lord Yuyang of Hongluyuan, etc. were sitting in charge. In addition, many masters from the seven major sects of Jianghu were also present. The eminent Buddhist monk Shusheng Vajra was sitting cross-legged in the center of Tianwumen Square, surrounded by a suffocating atmosphere.
With its bright golden Buddha light, people dare not look directly at it.”
"Everyone is waiting. Guess who they are waiting for?"
The storyteller glanced around, then picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
"Speak quickly."
"There's no need to guess. Are you waiting for a master from the Demon Cult?"
Everyone around was urging him.
The storyteller moistened his throat and continued:
"At this moment, the golden light of Buddhism swept across and was pierced by thousands of swords. The sword light was like the water of the Milky Way, endless. At the end of the sky, under the gaze of everyone, a sword fairy in white stepped on a flying sword.
He came from the sky and finally landed firmly on Tianwumen Square. The whole place was silent, and everyone looked at the person with burning eyes. This is not a person, this is clearly a sword immortal!"
Everyone present was in a daze. Just thinking about it, they could feel the scene where the white-clothed sword fairy swept through the Buddha's light and fell, shocking everyone.
One swordsman clenched his fists and his face turned extremely red.
Walking with a sword, white clothes swaying in the wind, endless splendor and elegance.
The oiran stood behind the crowd, and the scene appeared in his mind, and his heart jumped wildly.
At this time, the storyteller saw the charming woman and hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Shuirou from Cuiyun Tower is also here to listen to the book. Sit down quickly."
When everyone around them heard this, they all looked over, with a bright light appearing in their eyes.
The oiran chuckled lightly and said: "Mr. Ye, you are talking about this Great Sword Immortal. I am very curious. I don't know where I can meet him."
Everyone around started to boo.
The storyteller shook his head and said: "Miss Shuirou is really joking. Now all the ladies from the Yujing City family are trying to get into the Sanlin Inn, but they are all overwhelmed. Even the daughter of the Minister of Rites cannot enter. Miss Shuirou wants to
I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult to meet him once."
As soon as he finished speaking, the oiran's face suddenly turned red, and he withdrew his hand that was about to take the ticket.
"Mr. Ye, tell me quickly, what happened next?"
"Butcher Zhu, weren't you watching the battle at Tianwumen this morning?"
"I've seen it, and it doesn't stop me from listening to the story again."
There were noisy sounds from the crowd, as if no one cared about the oiran of Cuiyun Tower.
"Miss Shuirou, please help yourself."
The storyteller coughed lightly, then looked at the crowd and continued: "The next step is the most exciting beginning."
"Great Sword Immortal?"
The oiran held his invitation tightly and felt a little disappointed for no reason. If he had known it, he would have gone to see the fight between Buddha and Demon today and see the peerless grace of this great swordsman.
Lumen, Lufu.
Zhou Xianming and Lu Jingchun hurried towards the inner courtyard.
Lu Guoyong was lying leisurely on a chair, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Lu Jingchun quickly walked up to Lu Guoyong and said seriously: "Grandpa, I don't want to study anymore. I have made up my mind to practice swordsmanship."
Qiu Lun is right, reading is useless, so why are you still holding a book?
Lu Guoyong opened his eyes and said calmly: "Are you sure you want to practice swordsmanship?"
Lu Jingchun said seriously: "OK."
Lu Guoyong nodded slightly and said, "Then go to the housekeeper and he will arrange a swordsmanship teacher for you."
"Okay, I'll go now."
When Lu Jingchun heard this, he ran out of the yard excitedly, like a wild boar running loose.
"teacher?"
Zhou Xianming looked at Lu Jingchun's back and whispered.
He knew very well what kind of person Lu Jingchun was. Practicing martial arts not only requires basic qualifications and a certain amount of resources and wealth, but also perseverance and perseverance.
No matter how you look at it, Lu Jingchun doesn't look like a person with great perseverance and perseverance.
"Let him be."
Lu Guoyong waved his hand and said, "Is today's competition over?"
Zhou Xianming nodded and said: "Doctor An won."
"I really won."
Even though Lu Guoyong had already vaguely felt the victory or defeat from the continuous sword movements, he still couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhou Xianming's words at this moment.
Now that An Jing holds the State Religion Order, he has a lot of initiative. If he uses it incorrectly, it will lead to certain crises and disasters.
Zhou Xianming smiled and said: "Doctor An is a smart man, he will not do stupid things."
"If he is really a smart person, he will not do anything stupid at this time."
Lu Guoyong shook his head and said, "But smart people sometimes do stupid things. I'm afraid this is the case."
Zhou Xianming thought for a while and said, "Teacher, are you talking about me?"
Lu Guoyong said quietly: "I'm not talking about you anymore, I'm talking about all the smart people in the world."
Zhou Xianming fell silent.
Lu Guoyong smiled and patted Zhou Xianming on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think too much. Let's talk about it while we drink tea in the room. I'm very curious about this wonderful showdown."
With that said, Lu Guoyong walked towards the house.
"yes."
Zhou Xianming chuckled and followed quickly.
Jade Capital City, Kunning Palace.
Behind the screen was a graceful and moving figure. As the clothes were gently put on, a beautiful woman walked out.
This woman is none other than the owner of Kunning Palace, Concubine Rong Mu Xiaowan.
At this time, she was wearing a lavender dress, and her fair skin looked very attractive, as if time had not left any traces on this beauty.
"What time is it today?"
Next to him, Eunuch Guangde whispered: "September 23rd."
"September 23rd, I haven't seen the emperor for two months."
Mu Xiaowan calculated it secretly, and slightly opened her red lips: "Are you ready for the Queen Buddha to jump over the wall?"
Eunuch Guangde replied: "Ready."
Mu Xiaowan took a deep breath and said: "Take this imperial Buddha to jump over the wall, and let's go to the imperial study to see His Majesty."
With that said, she walked toward the imperial study room with lotus steps.
The Imperial Study Room is in the center of the palace. Kunning Palace is not far away but you still need to walk some distance.
Along the way there are palaces with golden domes, red doors and green tiles.
The double eaves roof with glazed tiles, the red lacquered door, and the same platform have tied up so many beauties.
Mu Xiaowan looked around, feeling a little turmoil in her calm heart, but the turmoil quickly dissipated.
Many times, people's hearts will have ups and downs, but those ups and downs only last for a moment.
Not long after, Mu Xiaowan and Eunuch Guangde arrived at Zhengyang Palace.
The ancient trees are towering and the atmosphere is majestic.
At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked towards the imperial study room in front of him.
Mu Xiaowan asked: "Master Xu, when were you in such a hurry?"
The Emperor's sword-carrying bodyguard is also one of the Emperor's most trusted confidants, so Mu Xiaowan is naturally familiar with him.
Xu Qianyue hurriedly clasped her fists and said: "Hui Rong, noble concubine, the dispute between Buddha and Demon in Tianwu Sect has come to an end. I am going to report now."
This Concubine Rong is the most favored concubine in recent years. She is a celebrity in front of the Emperor, so he naturally does not dare to neglect her.
Mu Xiaowan asked: "Did Buddhism win?"
Xu Qianyue said in a deep voice: "Tianwaitian has won."
Mu Xiaowan frowned, "That demon sect An Jing is not a young man. No matter how talented he is, he can't defeat the Buddhist Vajra, right?"
She is naturally concerned about the dispute between Buddha and Demon. This matter is related to the current situation of the Yan Kingdom. With her channels, she naturally knows that this war is just a plan arranged by the Emperor of Humanity, and the National Religion Order itself is given to Buddhism.
Furthermore, considering that the Supreme Vajra, the first Vajra in Buddhism, is in charge, the hope of Tianwaitian to take away the state religion order is slim.
"The demon sect's An Jing also has another identity, the ghost swordsman, and his swordsmanship has reached the sixth level, and the Supreme Vajra was also defeated in his hands."
Xu Qianyue took a deep breath and said: "I'm sorry, the situation is extremely urgent. I will report the situation now."
With that said, Xu Qianyue walked straight towards the imperial study room.
"What!?"
When Mu Xiaowan heard these three words, it was like someone poured a basin of cold water on her from head to toe, and her whole body went numb.
The person the Demon Sect sent out as an envoy turned out to be a ghost swordsman!?
I don't know how much time passed before Mu Xiaowan turned around and headed towards Kunning Palace.
Eunuch Guangde asked in a low voice: "Mother, are you not going to the royal study?"
Mu Xiaowan didn't seem to hear anything and just walked towards Kunning Palace on her own.
Royal study room.
Xu Qianyue walked in. This palace was a forbidden place.
There are definitely no more than three people who can enter this imperial study room, and he is one of them.
The study room has a majestic atmosphere, filled with purple air and dim light.
Xu Qianyue walked towards the inside, and after walking for dozens of steps, he saw the white-browed eunuch, and then he paused slightly.
There is a door next to the white-browed eunuch, and behind this door is a quiet room.
In this quiet room is the most powerful person in Dayan today, the Emperor of Dayan.
Even Xiao Qianqiu of the Zhenyi Sect, a great talent who was banished to immortals and is known as the leader of one hundred thousand disciples in the world, still has to bow down when facing the current Human Emperor.
"His Majesty."
Xu Qianyue walked to the door of the quiet room, knelt down and said.
A deep voice came from the quiet room, "Buddhism has been defeated?"
Xu Qianyue said slowly: "We lost. The person who sent out the demon sect was actually a ghost swordsman. His cultivation level has reached the level of the Second Qi Master, and his swordsmanship has also reached the sixth realm. He is suspected of practicing the Tiandao Sword, but he has
The difference is that my subordinate feels that the power of the sword is three points stronger than that of the Tiandao Sword."
The white-browed eunuch Fan Daoji whispered: "It's stronger than the Tiandao Sword. Could it be the rumored Holy Dao Sword?"
Among the kendos, Kuai Sword Do and Killing Sword Do are both mediocre kendos and are not considered strong. However, Heavenly Sword and Humane Sword are extremely powerful kendos. Generally, only top swordsmen can understand these kendos.
The Sixiang Sword Ancestor of the Sixiang Sect practices the Heavenly Sword, while Lou Xiangzhen practices the Humane Sword.
The stronger the sword is, the stronger the sword will be, and the difficulty of promotion will also increase.
There are many types of swordsmanship. In addition to the Heavenly Sword, the Humane Sword and the Royal Sword actually exist. However, those who practice the Royal Sword are generally royal nobles, and such masters rarely appear in the world, so those in the world know very little about the Royal Sword.
few.
And on top of all kinds of swordsmanship, there is also the mysterious holy sword.
Compared to the Heavenly Dao Sword, the Human Dao Sword, the Royal Dao Sword, and the Holy Dao Sword, there are even fewer people practicing them, and they are even rare in history.
Throughout the ages, the swordsmen who practice this holy sword have been the top swordsmen, but there are very few who can practice it to the sixth level. But without exception, as long as they practice to the sixth level, they will be famous for an era or even hundreds of people.
The top swordsman of the year.
The man in the quiet room seemed to be deep in thought.
Xu Qianyue and Eunuch Baimei were silent.
After a long time, the man in the quiet room said: "I want to see him."
"His Majesty"
When Xu Qianyue heard this, she was slightly stunned.
You know that the Human Emperor once said that he would not leave seclusion within three years, but now he actually wants to leave seclusion for this Anjing?
The man in the quiet room spoke calmly, but with a hint of doubt, "I will see him in ten days."
"My subordinates know."
After hearing this, Xu Qianyue turned around and walked towards the imperial study room.
After the white-browed eunuch saw Xu Qianyue leaving, he asked, "Your Majesty, have you lighted it up?"
The man in the quiet room did not answer the white-browed eunuch's question, but instead asked: "Have those two done anything recently?"
The white-browed eunuch said: "Everything is fine."
“So best.”
Four words came from the quiet room, and then it fell into silence.
The white-browed eunuch's heart moved and he was thoughtful.
The night is like thick inkstone, too deep to be dissolved.
In a quiet courtyard, the lights are brightly lit.
Zhao Mengtai looked at the white paper in front of him and whispered: "Is this all the information about An Jing?"
Yue Tingchen stood aside, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"Yes." Mo Yan whispered from the side: "This is all the information about Anjing in Yuzhou City."
After Zhao Mengtai heard this, he picked up the white paper and read it carefully. The information was very long, but most of it was extremely ordinary. He looked like he was just an ordinary doctor.
The only thing that stood out was that Anjing had excellent medical skills and was known as the miracle doctor in Yuzhou City. He also married a wife who was as beautiful as a fairy.
Zhao Mengtai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that this woman must be the leader of the Demon Cult."
Mo Yan solemnly said: "Yes, this An Jing is worshiped by the Demon Sect, but he can be an ordinary doctor in Yuzhou City without anyone knowing about it. It's really scary."
After all, who would have thought that an ordinary doctor in Yuzhou City would be the great swordsman of the world.
"interesting."
Zhao Mengtai looked at it a few more times, always feeling that something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while, so he couldn't help but ask: "Ting Chen, look at it, is there anything strange here?"
Yue Tingchen took the message and read it. After a moment, he said: "Second Prince, it doesn't look too strange. The ghost swordsman killed the Demon Cult to save Zhao Qingmei. After all, according to the previous news, Zhao Qingmei is
Being trapped under the Demon Sealing Well makes sense and is reasonable, but my subordinates are a little curious, what is their purpose of hiding in Yuzhou City?"
Zhao Mengtai stroked his palm and said, "Yes, what is the purpose of the couple hiding in Yuzhou City?"
Yue Tingchen shook his head and said: "My subordinates can't figure it out for a while."
"These problems are not big. The most important thing now is the state religious decree."
Zhao Mengtai thought for a while and said: "Look at what An Jing's hobbies are. I will hold a big banquet to meet this ghost swordsman in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yue Tingchen looked down, blinked and said, "Back to the second prince, this doctor's usual hobby is to listen to music on the railing."
Although the war between Buddha and Demon is over, the afterglow has just begun. The hawks above the Jade Capital City continue to scream, transmitting the results of today's war to all parts of the world.
In addition, the various forces also tried their best to transmit the specific information to each other's internal forces. For a time, the undercurrent surged, and it was three points more lively than before the Buddha-Devil War.
After all, the current situation in the world can affect the entire world, especially events related to the Yan Kingdom, the Demon Sect, and Buddhism, which have attracted everyone's attention.
No one knows how this matter will develop next.
Outside the city, in the inn.
In the house, a lamp is burning.
Qian Cishan smiled with a smile on his face, "An Zongfong, your sword strike today was really powerful. The first Vajra Dharma of Buddhism was like tofu under your sword. Everyone in the Yan Kingdom's court was dumbfounded."
Similar."
"Also in the evening, countless rich and wealthy ladies came to the door of the inn. If it weren't for the strict guards guarding them, they would have wanted to kill them and come in."
At this moment, Qian Cishan suddenly felt a murderous intention, and looked up to see Yu Qiurong's extremely cold eyes.
An Jing took a deep breath and said: "Although we have obtained the State Religion Order, we can still negotiate with the Yan State Court."
Yu Qiurong asked: "Uncle, don't we go back first?"
In her opinion, after obtaining this national religious order, all she had to do was return to Dongluo Pass and call the followers to return to Yan State to preach.
After all, this national religious decree was issued by the imperial court of Yan State. How could they still keep their word? After all, this is a huge country, and such an act would definitely be looked down upon by the world.
An Jing said quietly: "I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to take away this State Religion Order."
It is impossible for the Yan Kingdom's court to allow the Demon Sect to take away the state religion's order so easily, and the same is true for the Zhenyi Sect. They may be ambushed like the Yunlin Inn.
And this ambush will definitely be unprecedented. After all, he defeated the Supreme Vajra, and others would not dare to take action easily, but once he takes action, it will definitely be a thunderous force.
Yu Qiurong's eyes lit up and she said, "Do you want to use this national religious order to negotiate terms with the Yan State?"
Although becoming a state religion will bring great glory and the Demonic Cult's reputation will also increase, there are not many benefits other than that. No one knows whether the support from the imperial court is sincere or false. If it is the latter, this state religion will
Apart from his name, Ling has no help to the Demonic Cult.
An Jing nodded slightly, and at this moment there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
I saw a master from the Demon Sect's Earth Sect walking in and said, "An worshiper, Xu Qianyue, the new Commander-in-Chief of the Xuanyi Guard, is here."
Qian Cishan clicked his tongue and said, "You are here so late. It seems you are really in a hurry."
An Jing said: "Let him come in."
The new Xuanyi Guard Commander Xu Qianyue put information on Zhao Qingmei's desk three days after he took office. Naturally, An Jing, who came this time, also knew about it.
The human emperor's bodyguards with swords in front of him are not ordinary people.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in black walked in alone. The man had no expression on his face, just like a wooden man. There was a long knife on his waist, and his breath was restrained, without any trace of anger.
Gas engine leaks.
An Jing was not aware of his specific cultivation level, and it was obvious that he also had an extremely clever concealment method.
An Jing stood up, smiled lightly, and said, "Master Xu, you are polite."
Even though Xu Qianyue had met An Jing during the day, she couldn't help but look at An Jing at close range, and then said: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is very good, definitely among the top three in the world."
Anyone who knows Xu Qianyue will know that he rarely praises others.
In his mind, An Jing is the number one swordsman among all the swordsmen he has seen so far, even Lin Yiyang is inferior to him.
As for the Battle of Yuanhu, he had never been there, so he did not know Lou Xiangzhen's strength and did not comment on Lou Xiangzhen.
An Jing waved his hand and said calmly: "There are so many talented people in this world, who knows? Besides, these are just false names."
Xu Qianyue took a deep look at An Jing and said, "Your Excellency, you are too humble. Your sword is very strong."
It is extremely rare for a swordsman to not be burdened by a false reputation.
Because he himself is such a person.
And the same people always cherish each other.
"This knife is not weak either."
An Jing glanced at the knife on Xu Qianyue's waist, then laughed and said: "Master Xu came so late, shouldn't An be complimenting each other?"
"Of course not."
Xu Qianyue touched the handle of the knife with her palm and said slowly: "Since Your Excellency has taken away this State Religion Order, it will be the State Religion of Yan State that day. This is a state matter, so naturally we cannot be hasty."
"So, Your Majesty plans to summon you personally."
