Chapter 48 Asking the Sword Order, Xu Taiping’s opponent in the first round
Looking at the cow and sheep heads, tofu and vegetables on the table, and then at the four people who were looking at her with chopsticks, Zhao Linglong was a little confused:
"What time of the day is it? You four are still interested in eating here!"
Fairy Lingyue, who had just put a chopstick of hot mutton into her mouth, opened her mouth to breathe, and vaguely waved to Zhao Linglong:
"Linglong, come and eat, come and eat, this sheep... was... hunted by Taiping last night... at Guimen Bridge... One head is sold for 10,000 gold in Liuxian Town!"
When Zhao Linglong heard this, a look of horror appeared in her eyes and she said: "Guimen Bridge, isn't that the forbidden area of Taiyue Immortal Mansion?"
With that said, she quickly closed the door and hung a jade charm on the door that could prevent others from eavesdropping. Then she turned around and walked quickly towards the table.
As she walked, she said:
"As far as I know, the Impermanence Peak where the Ghost Gate Bridge is located is not only extremely dangerous in itself, but also guarded by several powerful mountain guards supported by the Jiufu. Not to mention outsiders, it is difficult for even people from the Jiufu to enter.
"
When she said this, Zhao Linglong had already arrived at the table and sat down on the empty seat next to Xu Taiping.
Zhao Linglong asked Xu Taiping beside her with a curious expression:
"How did you get in, Taiping?"
Xu Taiping did not answer immediately, but fetched a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Zhao Linglong, and handed a small bowl with the sauce mixed in front of Zhao Linglong.
After doing all this, he picked up a piece of mutton with serving chopsticks, and while heating it in the stove, he smiled at Zhao Linglong and asked:
"Senior sister, do you still remember Chu Qiuya, the mountain guard of Wanshen Peak, Mr. Chu?"
Zhao Linglong nodded immediately and said:
"Of course I remember, that day on the Ten Thousand Evils Peak, it was he who taught you to pour the spiritual spring on your body to enhance your physical strength. This matter was still a big deal at the time, and many envious monks wanted to accuse Jiufu, saying that Mr. Chu was deliberately treating him favorably.
For you."
Xu Taiping smiled and then continued to explain:
"Because of this incident, Mr. Chu came down the mountain to meet me again a few days ago. I gave him a jar of wine as a gift, and he
Then he invited me to go to Wuchang Peak to hunt the Gray Black Sheep there as a return gift."
When he said this, Xu Taiping put the hot chopstick meat into senior sister Zhao Linglong's bowl.
After listening to Xu Taiping's explanation, Zhao Linglong's originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed. Then she safely picked up the hot meat in the bowl, dipped some sauce in it and put it in her mouth.
"Hmm...the taste of the gray black sheep from Impermanence Peak is really extraordinary. No wonder they can be sold for 10,000 gold each in the ghost market."
After eating the meat with chopsticks, Zhao Linglong immediately "revealed her true colors". She clenched her hands into fists and waved them around, showing a look of enjoyment on her face.
The "fairy" aura that I had finally accumulated was gone.
As if she felt that the food was not enough, while talking, Zhao Linglong directly poured the whole plate of chopped mutton in front of her into the pot.
By the way, he also poured a few pieces of white and tender tofu and half a plate of green vegetables into it. Then he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and sat on the chair very obediently, quietly waiting for the mutton in the pot to be cooked.
However, as soon as she put down her chopsticks, Zhao Linglong suddenly woke up and said: "Why did I forget the important thing!"
Ping An, who was sitting directly opposite him, nodded and said:
"Yes, Sister Linglong, didn't you just say that the first round of Zhenwu Jiankui's return, the list of the eldest brother's group has come out?"
Bai Yu, who was on the side, also imitated Ping An and nodded, then stared at Zhao Linglong with the same curiosity and asked:
"Yeah, where's the list?"
When he said this, while Ping An was not paying attention, he quietly replaced the bowl of sesame sauce in front of Ping An with chili pepper.
"Snapped!"
Fairy Lingyue on the side slapped Bai Yu on the back of the head, and then without even looking at him, she helped Ping An change the sauce back, while looking at Zhao Linglong and asked:
"Yes, Miss Linglong, what's your list?"
Zhao Linglong rolled her eyes at a few people, took out a spiritual mirror from her sleeve, and whispered:
"Obviously you guys are eating and drinking here while I'm doing errands outside. Why do you act like I'm just slacking off now?"
Xu Taiping on the side heard this clearly, and immediately picked up a large piece of cooked beef with chopsticks and put it into the bowl in front of Zhao Linglong, then smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, senior sister."
Zhao Linglong felt as if she was washed by a spring breeze when she heard the words "Thank you for your suffering".
She immediately raised her face, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:
"You don't have to be so polite to me, little junior brother." .??.
Immediately, she handed the spiritual mirror to Xu Taiping's hand, and then explained to him:
"Taiping, just put the sword-asking order given to you by the Jiufu on this spiritual mirror, and the list of sword-asking monks in your group will automatically appear in the spiritual mirror."
At the moment, apart from the disciples who participated in the sword quest, the outside world does not know the specific list of each group in this round.
Xu Taiping nodded and took the spiritual mirror.
After he climbed to the top of WanEi Peak that day and poured his body with the spiritual spring, Jiu Fu wrote his name on the Sword Leader List and announced it to the five directions of heaven and earth.
When going down the mountain, Chen Sheng was asked to personally hand over the Zhenwu Wenjian Token to Xu Taiping.
At this time, Fairy Lingyue, Ping An, and Bai Yu also put down their bowls and chopsticks, and all looked at Xu Taiping.
So under the gaze of everyone, Xu Taiping held the back of the spiritual mirror with one hand, and gently placed the Sword Asking Token on the mirror's surface with the other hand.
"Buzz buzz..."
Along with a low humming sound, the mirror surface of the spiritual mirror suddenly swayed with golden ripples like ripples on the water.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of golden smoke as thick as chopsticks rose straight from the mirror.
In the end, these wisps of golden smoke all turned into names written in ancient seal scripts.
> Before Xu Taiping could recognize all the names, Zhao Linglong suddenly frowned and said:
"This Bai Di is actually in the same group as Taiping."
Xu Taiping had never heard of this Bai Di, so he continued to write down the lists silently while asking Zhao Linglong:
"Senior sister, where does this Bai Di come from?"
Zhao Linglong, who continued to check the list intently, also did not shy away from saying:
"He is a casual cultivator from Zhenwutian who came from the secular world. He is also one of several young casual cultivators who have become very popular in recent years. Because of the opportunity of Zhenwutian's spiritual energy to revive, he has already broken through the realm of transformation in just a short time."
"In addition...it is said that the master behind him is the swordsman Cui Tiegu who was a casual cultivator who went to Chunyang Sword Sect ten years ago to question Sword Amon and defeated him by half a move."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Linglong in disbelief and said:
"Sister, you, you mean, Senior Amon was defeated?!"
Xu Taiping still vividly remembers the scene when Amon broke open the underground cave of the Jade Calvary with one sword.
It was really hard for him to believe that such a being would fail in the sword quest.
Fairy Lingyue on the side was also a little curious and said:
"In terms of swordsmanship alone, Amon's swordsmanship can be regarded as the best even if we look at the entire Shangqing Realm. How could he actually lose in Zhenwutian?"
Hearing this, Zhao Linglong said helplessly:
"When we heard the news at the time, we were also very surprised. It was not until we saw the scene recorded in the Moon Shadow Stone that we confirmed that Senior Amon had indeed lost that battle."
"Although I only lost half a move, if I lose, I lose."
With that said, Zhao Linglong reached out and took out a moon shadow stone from the ring.
She just held it hard, and the scene inside the Moon Shadow Stone turned into a translucent shadow, appearing above the round table through the mist rising from the side stove.
