This man and this woman, whether playing or singing, are as good as gods. Every day when the show starts, the townspeople crowd the teahouse.
Fortunately, the folk customs in the small town are simple and honest, otherwise someone might have had their own thoughts on the two singing siblings.
These are [Gandharva] Li Xiang'er of the Tianlong Sect and [Kinnara] Nalanyan, or we can also call him "Nalan Luer".
Because their weapons are musical instruments, the two of them would be very conspicuous when they carry them around, so they hide their identities as entertainers when walking around in the arena.
Gandharva and Kinnara were not in this town because they really wanted to sing, they were waiting for another important partner.
Today is the third day. If that person doesn't come again, they will have to move.
Recently, the Dragon King's men have been chasing them closely. In addition to Yasha and Mahulaka, Asura has also joined the pursuit.
The most important thing about Asura's joining is not how strong she is, but it shows a very important thing: the Dragon King may really be in the Central Plains.
With Asura's violent temper, only the Dragon King or the King of Heaven can discipline him. Apart from that, whether it is Yaksha or Mahulaka, it will be in vain.
Although both of them had a lot of anxiety in their hearts, they still played and sang in the teahouse in a precise manner, leaving the listeners mesmerized.
At this time, they heard a sharp eagle cry from the sky, and the two of them stopped playing.
"My fellow villagers, I'm sorry. I suddenly felt a little unwell, so that's the end of the day." Gandharva said apologetically to the people in the teahouse. Then she put away the piano and slowly squeezed out. crowd.
Kinnara held the lute in his arms and went out. He looked up and saw a big bird circling very high in the sky.
After the bird saw the two people, it cried again and then flew out of the town.
Gandharva and Kinnara walked towards the outside of the town. What was strange was that they were obviously not walking very fast, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace.
"Haha, the fish finally took the bait." A lazy voice said.
"Hey, it's not in vain that we followed him for more than ten days." A gloomy voice said.
"..."
"Hey, are you still thinking about that man?"
"Now I just want to kill him!"
…
In the woods, a big bird landed on a tree, and a figure stood next to it.
When Gandharva and Kinnara saw the big bird landing on the tree, they quickly caught up with it, and then the figure jumped down from the tree.
"Garuda, you asked us to meet urgently, but what news did you find out?" Kinnara asked the man who jumped from the tree.
"Yes, I have found out an extremely important piece of information." Garuda said to the other two people: "King of Heaven, he is still alive."
"Ah?" When Kinnara heard this, he quickly pulled Garuda and asked, "Where is the King of Heaven?"
Garuda shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"How is that possible?" Gandharva asked Garuda, "Didn't you already find out the information? How come you don't know where the King of Heaven is?"
"I, I just hurried over to find you guys because I wasn't sure whether this news was true or not," Garuda said.
It has been four years since the King of Heaven disappeared, and now even the three Kinnara people with the strongest beliefs have no absolute hope that the King of Heaven will be alive.
However, if you are alive, you want to see people, and if you are dead, you want to see a corpse.
The disappearance of the Heavenly King is definitely an irreparable loss for the Tianlong Sect.
The biggest loss among them may not be Li Cangtian, but the King's token and the [Exquisite Jade Disc].
Although the Tianlong Sect has eight heavenly dragons, eight tokens and the [Exquisite Jade Disc], there is no doubt that the [Heavenly King Jade Disc] and [Dragon King Jade Disc] are the most important things among the eight heavenly dragons.
Therefore, in the past two years, the search target of the three people has shifted from [Heavenly King] to [Heavenly King Jade Disc].
If you want to fight against the Dragon King, you can only rely on the [Heavenly King Jade Disc].
At this moment, Garuda suddenly broke the news that the king of heaven was still alive, which was naturally extremely important to the three of them.
"This." Perhaps he was too concerned. Kinnara, who had always been extremely calm, was now confused in his mind.
Gandharva said to Garuda: "Where did you get the news?"
Garuda reached out and scratched the messy hair on his head, and said: "I was in a small town outside the desert. Suddenly one day, a man passed me by, and he said in my ear, ' These five words: The King of Heaven is still alive.
When I came to my senses and turned around, he was gone."
"Who is that person?" Kinnara asked.
"He was wearing white clothes and had a white kerchief wrapped around his head. He looked like a scholar, but not like one." Garuda recalled while thinking hard.
Damn it, I would have stopped drinking if I had known that day.
It was because of drinking that by the time Garuda came to his senses, he could no longer find anyone.
Gandharva suddenly asked: "Does he look like a storyteller?"
When Gandharva said this, Kinnara also had a flash of inspiration. He raised his head and stared at Garuda, waiting for Garuda to answer this extremely critical question.
After Garuda was alone there for a long time, he said to Kinnara: "Well, I don't know who the storyteller is."
As soon as Garuda said this, Gandharva and Kinnara almost fell to the ground.
Brother, you might as well go to the Central Plains and visit more! You spend all day playing with birds in the Western Regions. After playing for so many years, you don’t even know who the storyteller is.
"The storyteller is [Jianghu Baixiaosheng]." Gandharva said to Garuda.
"Some people say that [Jianghu Baixiaosheng] is one person, while others say that he is two people." Kinnara said to Garuda.
"But these are not important." Gandharva said to Garuda: "The most important thing is that [Jianghu Baixiaosheng]'s words are never false."
"You actually say you don't know about such a crucial thing!" Kinnara was so angry that he wanted to raise the pipa in his hand and throw it down at Garuda.
At this time, I only heard a sour voice coming from the side.
"Ouch, looking at you flirting, I'm jealous."
Following this voice, a woman in bright red clothes walked out of the hiding place.
"Hey hey hey, I didn't expect that the person Garuda liked more was actually Kinnara." Just after another man with a gloomy face said this, he suddenly bent down and flashed, and a big tree next to him was blocked by a flash of light. Cut off.
"Asura, you crazy bitch, that man of yours is over there, why are you cutting me down!" Mohuraka said angrily to the woods.
Then, a woman in blue walked out barefoot and carrying a long-handled sword.
"Ah, I really miss you." Yasha said to the three people opposite, "It's been a long time since we have been together like this. I'm afraid it's been eight years."
There are six of the eight celestial dragons of the Tianlong Sect here, and the three beauties of the Tianlong Sect, Yaksha, Gandharva, and Asura, are gathering here for the first time.
It's a pity that this is not a party feast, but more like a killing feast.
…
On the official road, three horses galloped all the way.
Along the way, Jingjie and Xia Houfei finally saw the power of Shennong Baicao Sect.
At a time when raising horses is extremely difficult and expensive, renting horses has become a good choice. However, renting horses is very troublesome and usually requires a very high reputation and sufficient funds.
That day, Jingjie took Huang Xiaoshi to find Xia Houfei. When he heard that his brother-in-law wanted to see the Sword Cave, Xia Houfei nodded without saying a word.
Later, Jingji returned to Xiaoyao Valley to ask Wu Xiazi for leave, and Huang Xiaoshi also returned to Shennong Baicaomen to arrange the affairs of the family.
In the past few years, Huang Xiaoshi, the boss who has been handed over, has become less and less involved in the affairs of Shennong Baicao Sect. As long as the sky doesn't fall, I'll let you do whatever you want.
After Xia Houfei finished his business, Huang Xiaoshi brought over three horses.
Unlike Weiming, a poor boy, both Xia Houfei and Jingjing can ride horses.
So how can you call yourself a knight if you can't even ride a horse?
However, it is not possible to ride a horse all the way from Luoyang to Shuzhong.
After arriving at a place where riding was not allowed, Huang Xiaoshi was too lazy to lead the horses and walked slowly. He found the three horses and threw them away in a small town. He said that someone would handle the follow-up matters.
After the three of them passed places that were not suitable for riding horses on foot, Huang Xiaoshi found a small town and fetched three more horses.
After several rotations like this, for Huang Xiaoshi, renting a horse seemed easier than drinking water.
Before Jingjia realized what was going on, Xia Houfei probably thought of it.
After all, Shuzhong and Luoyang are important routes for Shennong Baicaomen. They have established their own stations or alliance stations along the way. In other words, on this business road, Shennong Baicaomen can constantly change people and horses along the way like the imperial court. An 800-mile expedited trip.
How much money does this cost?
The two of them sighed.
Jingjia didn't know much about money, and Xia Houfei had a look of awe on his face.
Don't even say it.
Although it is said that in the world of martial arts, the one with the big fist is the master, in fact, the one with the most money is also the master.
People like Huang Xiaoshi, who have big fists and a lot of money, are the real pure men.
In this way, they changed horses along the way, and within ten days, the three of them had arrived in the middle of Shu.
Before Huang Xiaoshi could even return to the Shennong Baicao Gate, he followed Xia Houfei to the Juedao Gate.
"Old man, old man!" Xia Houfei rushed through the door in a hurry and found his father, Xia Houcheng.
"What's the matter? What nonsense! I don't agree!" When Xia Houfei said that he wanted to take his brother-in-law to see the Sword Cave, Xia Houcheng jumped up.
"Oh, what are you dancing for? Aren't we a family?" Xia Houfei said to Xia Houcheng.
"Where did you come from, Immortal Banban, where did you come from? I just gave birth to you, so where did you come from as a brother-in-law?" Xiahou Cheng said, jumping on his feet, "[Sword Cave] is a top-secret place in our sect, how can you bring in outsiders?" Go in?! I don’t agree!”
Xiahou Cheng has a very rigid personality. Unless he really needs to kill someone, he never competes with others, including with his old enemy Ximen Xuan.
Therefore, except for his disciples, it is difficult for anyone to see the level of his martial arts.
Xiahou Cheng believed that this martial arts was used to kill people, so he competed with them every day, which was embarrassing.
"The man-eating tiger doesn't show its claws (zhao)."
This is Xiahou Cheng’s life creed.
"Oh, old man, why don't you open your head!" Xia Houfei was extremely speechless when facing Xia Houcheng.
"Let me ask you, my great-grandfather has mastered a total of eight sword moves in his whole life. Grandpa has mastered a total of five sword moves in his whole life. Until now, the yellow mud is buried in your chest. How many sword skills have you mastered in total?
How to strike with a sword?" Xia Houfei asked Xiahou Cheng.
"This." Xiahou Cheng was actually asked by his son.
Xia Houcheng's face turned red, and he said nonchalantly: "It's not my fault. All the easily identifiable knife marks have been identified, and the rest cannot be understood or understood. It's like a book from heaven."
"By the way, three." Xia Houfei said to Xia Houcheng: "The people I brought this time are my brother-in-law and their abilities. That one is a disciple of Xiaoyao Valley, and the other one is the champion of the Young Heroes Association. The real
A capable person.
We send people there, and if they see something, they will tell us something.
Even if you don't say it to me, I can understand it by watching.
Then our Jue Dao sword technique is not just about the thirteen moves."
When Xia Houfei said this, Xia Houcheng reacted immediately. He praised and said: "I am still smarter. I will do as you say, but you have to keep an eye on them. If you have any news, you must give it to me."
explain."
After the father and son discussed it, Xia Houcheng came out to greet the guests with a bright smile. He was even more surprised when he heard Huang Xiaoshi introduce himself as Shennong Baicaomen.
"Ah, it's Master Shi! I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time!" Xiahou Cheng squeezed Xia Houfei away, stepped in front of Huang Xiaoshi in two or three steps, held his hand tightly and said, "Is Master Gong back?
I miss him so much!"
After Huang Xiaoshi shook hands awkwardly, he said to Xiahou Cheng: "I haven't had time to go back to the main gate. I'm usually in Luoyang and I don't know the situation here yet."
"Don't come here (it doesn't matter). Mr. Shi, please sit down. Tonight we will go to the best restaurant to eat, the old man's private cuisine."
, let’s make a reservation for the evening. Please, please make a suitable meal, old man.”
"Yes." When Xia Houfei heard this, he went to find his old friend Nian Furong happily.
That night, after having a good meal and wine, Huang Xiaoshi came to the main gate of Shennong Baicao in Chengdu, only to learn that Gong Guangjie had never come back since he went to Yunling last year.
It seems that Boss Gong has already captured Lan Ting, and I am afraid he is a little too happy to miss Shu.
Let's have a good sleep today. Xiahou Cheng said that he would like to ask everyone to rest for two days to recharge before going to Leshan.
…
Outside Hangzhou, next to the West Lake.
"Oh, this villa is so majestic!" Fu Jianhan looked at the huge ancient sword model outside the Sword Making Villa and praised it.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
That day, Jingjiang thought that in order to fight for the [Book of Swordsmanship], he needed to find a good sword.
Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun also thought of it.
The young master of the Sword-Forging Villa is a teammate, so what else is there to say? It’s not like you get what you want.
When they arrived at the entrance of Zhujian Villa, Ren Jiannan asked Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun to wait a moment.
"Two brothers." Ren Jiannan said to them: "It's okay to ask for a sword. If you want to ask for a sword, you must first go through the [Welcoming Array]."
After hearing this, Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun looked at each other.
Sure enough it won't be that simple.
If just anyone can come to your door and ask for a sword, it won't matter how many swords the Sword Forging Villa forges in a year.
The so-called [Welcome Formation] should be a test of the martial arts of the incoming guests.
If your martial arts are good enough and I can't stop you, then I will naturally welcome the distinguished guests with a smile.
If you can't pass the battle, then climb wherever you need to.
Afterwards, Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun were waiting outside the door, and Ren Jiannan went in to report.
The two waited for a long time, and finally the door of the Sword-making Villa opened wide, and then six dealers carrying swords rushed out and surrounded the two.
Walking at the back was Ren Jiannan.
After Ren Jiannan coughed embarrassedly, he said to the two of them: "My father just went to Shuzhong for business, so I have to host today's [Welcome Array]."
Ren Jiannan pulled out his white crystal sword, and with the lake breeze, his white hair flowed in the wind.
