The boundless spring rain was scattered on a tree-lined avenue, and a luxurious carriage creaked forward. From within the brocade curtains, the giggles of girls could be heard from time to time.
"Cousin, I heard from my aunt that there are immortals in this world. If I meet an immortal, how about I take you to immortality?"
A young boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a sincere expression assured the girl with braids in front of him, that he was at the age of his childhood sweetheart.
"well!"
At this moment, a sigh came from the sky, and a sword light flashed across quickly, but it didn't mean to stop at all.
The black robe was wet from the rain and clung tightly to the body, while the long black hair was dancing in the wind, giving this ordinary-looking man an elegant charm.
This person is Lin Xiao who left the Five Great Sword Sects. He chose to travel alone. Xia Yuan and Monk Jianren both stayed in the Five Great Sword Sects. With the care of Yew Immortal, there will not be any danger. And in the Five Great Swordsmen
In the sect, a few people can truly and quickly improve their strength with the help of sufficient conditions.
Lin Xiao has reached a bottleneck. What he needs is an opportunity to truly complete his path. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by, so he decided to travel around the South Star.
Uncle Meng in the Sword Cave, and the other person who even the Yew Immortal has not mentioned. There are many such puzzles in the five major sword sects, but Lin Xiao has never thought of solving them one by one.
Yes, after all, there are too many mysteries in the world, and it is impossible to have answers to everything.
"Great Qin Empire?"
At this moment, Lin Xiao casually took out a jade slip. This was a small gift from Yixuanxian when he left. It had a map of all the forces in Jienan Star. It could be said to be very detailed. Now Lin Xiao
The area where Xiao is located is the official road leading to the capital of the Qin Empire.
In the history of Jie Nanxing, various dynasties are like fireworks. After a short period of brilliance, they will go to destruction. Even those that can reach three hundred years are a few ancient countries, but some empires stand tenaciously.
It didn't fail and has existed for thousands of years.
The Great Qin Empire is one of these countries. It can be so prosperous for so long, naturally it is not how wise its monarch is. After all, the life span of a mortal is only a hundred years. If a country has more than a dozen wise rulers in a row, it will not be a problem.
In reality, the reason why he can exist is because after the Great Qin Empire, there was a cultivation sect called Yin Ling Sect.
There is a record of the Yinling Sect in the jade slips, but it is just a third-rate sect. It is said that the highest cultivation level is only the existence of the leader. It has not been well-known in the world of cultivation, but if you want to ensure the inheritance of a country, you have to
is enough.
"Senior Zishan has been traveling all his life. He has recorded the customs and customs of the outside world in great detail. The man who originally taught me the scriptures was Ge Xiu, a great scholar from the Qin Empire. But now he has come here unknowingly.
You can choose to go in and see the wise man!"
Lin Xiao whispered and took the jade slip into his arms, but he was not in a hurry to go on his way. During this period, he walked without any purpose, but it was because the scripture had a great impact on him, so he chose
Entering the Imperial Capital, otherwise he would choose to take a detour anywhere else.
After practicing Taoism for four years, Lin Xiao reached the ninth level of rebirth. Such cultivation may be extremely fast for ordinary monks, but after the great changes in the world, many young geniuses have already entered the realm of heavenly senses.
, in comparison, Lin Xiao's speed was much slower.
However, Lin Xiao himself knows his own situation. His Taoist heart is unstable, he kills too much, and he is eager to become stronger. These are his inner demons. If he cannot control them, then as his cultivation level gets higher in the future, he will also
It becomes increasingly difficult to control myself.
In the scene of early spring, the willow trees on both sides of the official road have begun to sprout buds. After being washed by the rain, they exude a fresh breath. At a glance, it is indeed full of green here.
Lin Xiao fell from the sky. He would only choose to fly in the air in rainy weather, and would choose to walk the rest of the time. He was unwilling to do something shocking.
"Hey! Brother, how far is it from the Imperial Capital?"
At this moment, the carriage stopped in front of Lin Xiao. The young man shouted and asked Lin Xiao sincerely.
After the rain, a beautiful rainbow hung on the willow tree. Lin Xiao watched silently, not paying attention to the young man's intention. He practiced in the world, but did not want to be too involved in the world of mortals.
"Hmph! Why are you so rude! We are bachelors sent by the Great Qin Empire to the Imperial Academy to study with Ge Xiu, the Great Confucian scholar. Don't neglect us!"
The girl in the car saw that her companion was defeated and walked out with a dissatisfied look on her face, but her words were full of showing off.
Of these two people, the young man only looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and the girl looked only eleven or twelve years old. They were at that innocent age. Although there was some arrogance in their words, it was also unique to their age.
, after all, in their eyes, being able to become a bachelor is already a heavenly existence.
Lin Xiao still did not choose to speak, but silently watched the rainbow slowly fade. He could have named countless professions that were more powerful than a bachelor, or even a monk himself, but he did not choose to say it.
He has been through this age before, and he knows that what they need is a sense of confidence.
"Brother Huzi, do you think this person is mute?"
The girl pouted with a dissatisfied look on her face. Although she was young, she was still very pretty and would definitely be the embryo of a beauty in the future.
The young man touched Chen awkwardly, but did not say anything. Apparently, he also recognized his cousin's statement in his heart. He gave instructions to the groom and continued on the road. When they thought about it, this incident should have happened during their journey.
An episode, but I didn't expect it would affect my life.
"Great Confucian Ge Xiu of the Imperial Academy!"
When the carriage passed by, Lin Xiao whispered in a voice that only he could hear, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes. He was originally thinking about how to meet the great scholar, but now he
I have an idea.
The imperial capital of the Qin Empire was very grand. The city walls were built with strips of one-meter square stones to a height of more than ten meters. This was a huge project in the mortal world, and it was enough to make countless people who came here for the first time feel excited.
, but Lin Xiao did not feel this way and walked directly in.
The imperial capital was extremely prosperous. A main road with six carriages driving side by side was so crowded that it was impossible to move forward. There were even some vendors shouting loudly, creating a lively scene shoulder to shoulder.
"Sir, would you like to skewer the candied haws on a stick? The candied haws in our store is a thousand-year-old store. I'm sure you'll want to eat it again next time!"
A wretched-looking uncle held a hand full of shiny candied haws and kept shaking it towards Lin Xiao. Just one look at the bright red hawthorn made him feel so sour that he wanted to drool.
Lin Xiao's face showed a smile of reminiscence. After all, the candied haws on earth was supposed to be a feature of the earth, but he didn't expect that after crossing the void, he could still encounter it. This was an indescribable feeling of intimacy.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's mind even recalled the first time he and Qin Yue went on a date. He was so strapped for money that the two of them finally bought a bunch of candied haws and ate them all afternoon. The corners of his mouth showed up unconsciously.
A hint of smile.
"Boss! Get me ten skewers!"
A simple and honest voice rang out, and it turned out to be the young man named Hu Zi. He was wearing gorgeous brocade. At first glance, he must be the son of a wealthy family.
As he spoke, Huzi threw a piece of metal to the uncle, turned around and left with ten bunches of candied haws in his arms. Not far away, his cousin was looking forward to it.
"Ouch!"
At this moment, a big man wearing a gray undershirt collided head-on with the tiger, and both of them fell to the ground.
"You walk without eyes!"
The big man cursed loudly, then waved his hand and roughly hit his strong body. In a corner where others could not see, he put a wallet embroidered with the word "Lin" into his body.
Huzi was already dizzy when he came to the imperial capital after a long journey. When encountering such a thing, he naturally couldn't react for a moment. He thought it was really his fault and hurriedly got up to apologize.
"Hmph! You're lucky, kid! Otherwise, I'll make you lose everything, so why don't you get out!"
The big man roared loudly and turned around to leave. Some of the onlookers saw some clues, but no one wanted to offend this ruffian, so they could only shake their heads and leave.
"Are you just leaving like this?"
A cold voice sounded. It was Lin Xiao who was deep in thought, but was awakened by the two of them. He shouldn't have asked about this kind of thing. After all, he didn't think he was a moral defender, but he knew very well that if it weren't for Hu Zi
appears, that person will choose himself.
It can be said that Huzi is his scapegoat. Although if that person steals from him, he will definitely suffer misfortune. Huzi also saved the other person in disguise, but Lin Xiao cannot let Huzi suffer misfortune alone.
The tall and thick man was slightly startled. His body, which was about to disappear into the crowd, was squeezed back by Lin Xiao. When he discovered that Lin Xiao's body was unusually thin, his face turned ferocious again and said: "What do you want?
Sample?"
"Take out the money and then kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise you won't be able to leave here today!"
Lin Xiao said coldly. He would not care too much about a mortal, so he chose to give the other party a chance. After all, even if the wallet was sent back, the other party would not suffer any loss.
"I don't understand what you are saying, but since you stopped me, I will give you some clues today, otherwise you won't know how powerful the Five Rats of the Imperial City are!"
The big man sneered and didn't take Lin Xiao seriously at all. He clenched his hands and rushed forward quickly, but he didn't know that he had kicked an iron plate.
"drive!"
At this moment, outside the crowd that was already watching the excitement, a carriage drove in quickly. On the top of the carriage, a bright red word "王" was dancing in the wind.
"There seems to be a lot of excitement over there, princess, should we go and take a look?"
In the carriage, a pleasant voice sounded, the curtains were opened, and a curious look on Lin Xiao's position was looked at.
"Yu He, don't be ridiculous. This time, my father suddenly abdicated and let a royal descendant named Wang Lin take the throne. This person's origin is too weird. I have never heard of it before. I am worried about my father's danger!"
Another pleasant voice sounded, but the words were full of worry, and just like that, a carriage drove past quickly.
