After Chen Xiao killed the Luowang assassin, he temporarily canceled his plan to go to Handan due to his poisoning and injury, and chose a small town to stay temporarily to recuperate.
The news was brought back to Jicheng. Yan Dan estimated the time and prepared to catch up with him personally on a day to invite the person back.
A few days later, Yan Dan led people to the small county town where Chen Xiao was located.
"King Yan? How could you?" Chen Xiao was very surprised to see Yan Dan, and suddenly remembered to salute, "Xiao meets the king."
"Sir, please forgive me." Yan Dan hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "I knew that my husband wanted to cross the Yishui River, so I specially ordered someone to wait at the Yishui ferry. Unexpectedly, I didn't meet my husband for a long time. So I ordered people to inquire along the way.
After searching, I found out that Mr. Xi was actually cultivating here."
Chen Xiao felt Yan Dan's attentiveness and sighed with a guilty look on his face: "Oh, I'm ashamed to say it. Xiao Xiao was so confident that he wanted to go to Handan, but he didn't expect to encounter a few killers in a trap and end up in such an embarrassing situation. If so.
I went to the territory of Qin State, and I am afraid that my head is now in a different place."
"What? The snare organization wants to kill Mr. Yan!" Yan Dan was shocked, clenched his hands into fists, and said with righteous indignation, "Isn't the Qin State snare controlled by Lu Yan? They are both Confucian disciples, but he and Mr...."
"Although Lu Yan and I both belong to Confucianism, we have never met each other. In terms of personal relationship, there is no enmity in the past and no enmity today. If we talk about Qin's position, it makes even less sense. I am still a mere charlatan, so I am not worthy of being assassinated. Unless...
…”
"Zhanlu Sword."
Chen Xiao was silent for a while, and then said after thinking for a moment: "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiao has something to ask of me."
"Sir, please speak."
"I'd like to trouble your Majesty to spread the news that I have obtained the Zhanlu Sword. I say that Chen Xiao has long been dissatisfied with the reputation of Lu Yan and Lu Zi, and wants to go to Handan with the Zhanlu Sword to find him to discuss the Tao and compete with him."
Yan Dan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she looked at him in disbelief, "Sir, Lu Yan behaves like this, and you still insist on going to Handan?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said that there was no need to worry about him, "It doesn't matter. Lu Yan is governing Zhao at the moment, relying on his unrivaled reputation. His personal virtues, in the eyes of countless people, have been magnified as representing the state of Qin.
I went to discuss it openly and honestly. If he dares to send a trap to assassinate him, his good reputation for so many years will collapse in an instant. For me, just one person and one sword will ruin his own future and make the Qin State laughable to the world. Whether it is Lu Yan personally or
Even the master of Qin State would not be so ignorant."
"This... I can send someone to escort you sir."
"No. Xiao is alone. He is just a Confucian disciple. If the king sends someone to escort him, it will involve the Yan Kingdom, which will be even more unsightly."
"Okay, sir, if you insist on this, I won't force you." Seeing that he was determined, Yan Dan no longer tried to dissuade him, but said sincerely, "Sir, when you return from Handan this time, please be sure to come to Jicheng.
I still hope to learn from you the way of sages."
Chen Xiao knew that Yan Dan's intention to recruit him was very obvious, but the matter of talking to Lu Yan was more important in his mind, so he really couldn't give an accurate result yet on whether to accept the other party's invitation.
"Xiao Cuo is favored by the king. After the duel with Lu Yan, I should immediately return to my master's door to resume my duties. After all matters related to Zhan Lujian are settled, if Xiao Xiao can get my master's orders, I will go to Yan Kingdom to talk to the king again."
"Hahaha, good! I am very relieved to get a promise from my husband."
Yan Dan smiled happily, because this Chen Xiao was really different from others. His intelligence and sincerity could be glimpsed, and he was definitely not a sinister person like Kuai Che of the Guigu sect.
"Don't worry, sir, I will immediately spread the news about Zhan Lujian throughout the world."
…
Originally, the incident at Jicheng Talent Recruitment Hall, in which a Confucian scholar holding a Zhanlu sword killed more than ten people with one sword, spread widely throughout the world because Zhanlu, which had disappeared for more than a hundred years, was the core hot spot.
Coupled with Yan Dan's push behind the scenes, within a few days, rumors spread all over the place that a Confucian scholar named Chen Xiao had been recognized by Zhan Lu, the Sword of Humanity, and was about to go to Handan to talk to Lu Yan.
A showdown.
There is also a widely circulated rumor that Lu Yan once sent a trap killer to snatch the divine sword, but unfortunately he was defeated by Chen Xiao. This is how Chen Xiao openly challenged Lu Yan.
There are eight schools of Confucianism. Lu Yan is a direct disciple of Master Xun of the Xun school, and Chen Xiao is a direct descendant of Chen Liang, a great scholar of the Zhongliang family. This duel between the two most outstanding younger generations of the two schools of Confucianism has a profound impact on the Confucian schools.
For young people, it is an extremely rare feast.
When the news came out, many Confucian disciples temporarily bid farewell to their masters, intending to go to Handan to observe the legendary sword of benevolence and to observe Lu Yan, the only one among his peers who was called "Zi".
In Handan City, Lu Yan himself was rarely living a relatively comfortable life before he received the news.
"Side mission - People in the world learn to dance just to dance. The snow girl. The north wind makes it cool, the rain and snow make it cool. It is beneficial to me, and we go together hand in hand. Is it empty or evil? It is urgent and only!"
The political battles between countries, the betrayal of loved ones and friends overnight, how heavy the weight has been on the thin shoulders of beautiful women since ancient times. Ask the host to save the snow girl, and at the same time achieve her best dance in the world. Current status: Completed."
Better than Blue: Passive skill, your ice attribute ability is greatly improved.
This ability is probably because the Book of Heaven uses the luck of the world to help Lu Yan further refine his internal energy, improve his physique, and reach the limit of human adaptability that is impossible for ordinary people to practice internal energy. Lu Yan's ice and fire internal energy at this time can be said to be
It is unparalleled in the world.
"Oh, why do I have a feeling that even if the mature Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang join forces to launch a vertical and horizontal alliance, I can use the two swords together without any fear."
Lu Yan's right hand was a rainbow, and his left hand was a cold water. The two swords were combined, and the ice phoenix and fire phoenix soared into the sky. He felt that he couldn't help but feel a little swollen. With the power of one person, he defeated the combined attack of Gui Gu's two swords at the same time.
Just ask the world, who else is there~
After practicing his sword skills, he was feeling very proud of himself in his heart. Ju Shuang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but ask: "Master, how on earth did you do it? You have practiced martial arts to such an extent and there is still no sign of stagnation of progress?
"
Ju Shuang expressed that she felt a little sad because she probably had ten more years of training than Lu Yan, but the gap between the two in all aspects seemed to be that Lu Yan had ten more years of training than her.
When Lu Yan heard her words, he sheathed the two swords and let out a sigh of relief. Only after he reached the current level of martial arts training, he could better understand what his first teacher Wuming said at the beginning of time travel.
He is brave and fights ruthlessly, and his martial arts reach a new level.
If you don't cultivate your realm, you will never be able to enter heaven and earth.
It’s not just a person who has entered heaven. If a person does not cultivate the realm and steps into the threshold of Dacheng due to talent or chance, then he will wander around this threshold for the rest of his life.
Gu Shuang switched from the assassin sword that was only for killing people to the Ziyun sword with Taoist connotations. Because he had lived only for the mission for the first twenty years, the foundation was there, and the journey to the realm of martial arts had basically come to an end.
.
That is to say, she was lucky. Renzong Qiongzi specially gave Lu Yan the Zixia Breathing Technique, which can make Zixia's mental skills to a higher level. This allowed Ju Shuang to practice a little bit, which was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
progress.
"Tian Shu, is there any way to improve her physique like mine?"
Lu Yan was not polite and directly asked the Heavenly Book in his mind for a solution.
Tianshu asked back: "Host, there are many masters in the heavenly and human realm organizing that place behind the scenes. She was only trained to be a first-class tool in the sky, rather than being trained to be a top-level person in the sky. This
Can’t you explain the problem?”
"You're saying that Sister Ju Shuang's strength has come to an end. What about me? Am I a genius beyond imagination?"
"Damn! Host, don't you think you are a genius?"
Lu Yan frowned and asked again: "Is there really nothing you can do?"
Tianshu was silent for a moment and said abruptly: "Host, I can tell you in advance that your wife Nongyu is in a similar situation."
When Lu Yan heard this, his face suddenly fell, "There is something in your words."
"You are destined to enter the realm of heaven and humans, but it is impossible for them."
Is there any difference between heavenly beings and non-celestial beings?
