In the vast mountains, Li Xiao got rid of the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect. After flying and speeding all the way, gradually, the vast and steep endless mountains in front of him gradually receded and turned to gentle terrain. The beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes also caught his eye.
"Finally arrived at the land of the Central Plains."
The Central Plains has always been a land of vast territory, rich resources, and beautiful people. There are also many famous sects standing in the rivers and lakes, allowing the troubled rivers and lakes to temporarily calm down.
When he came to the Central Plains, Li Xiao's purpose was also very clear. Firstly, he wanted to find and protect Ling'er, and secondly, he wanted to seek opportunities to break through his own cultivation. Only in this way could he have the capital to fight against the worshiping moon.
There is a huge sea of people, and trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Ling'er was taken away by Jiujianxian, and Jiujianxian was a disciple of the Shushan Sect. Going there might be able to find out the whereabouts of Jiujianxian and Ling'er.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao first came to a densely populated county. After many inquiries, he finally learned where the Shushan sect, the largest sect in the Central Plains, was located.
Shushan is located among the lofty mountains in western Sichuan. The peaks are soaring in the sky, like floating clouds. It is said to be a resort given to the world by the immortal family. Since the establishment of the Shushan sect, disciples of successive generations have diligently practiced immortality, entered the world to subjugate demons, and imprisoned demons in the Demon Locking Tower to protect the human world. He was harassed by monsters and was deeply loved by the people. He was even revered as a god in Shu.
Shushan has little contact with the martial arts sects, and the Shushan immortal arts they practice are somewhere between internal strength and Taoist training. However, Shushan disciples do not practice to become immortals, but to save the world and save people, which is different from ordinary Taoism.
After some inquiring, Li Xiao had a general understanding of the mysterious Shushan sect. Then, he went to the horse market and spent some silver to buy a good horse to take his place.
After that, Li Xiao found an inn to stay and rest for a day.
The next day, the sky had just brightened, and after Li Xiao had regained his strength and energy, he prepared dry food and drinking water and rode on the road, heading towards the Shushan sect along a wide official road.
…
…
A few days later, Li Xiao passed by an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River. He dismounted and led the horse forward slowly.
The long hair on the shawl was plucked off with a palm knife, the stubble was smoothed away, and his eyes glowed with a burning color. At this time, Li Xiao was already more mature than when he had just escaped from the blood witch formation. He was refreshed and regained his glory.
Walking on the three-foot-wide bluestone road, you can see rows of houses on both sides of the street, with white walls and black tiles, with the unique antique style of Jiangnan. The air is also filled with a touch of freshness and freshness after the rain. aromatic.
This ancient city seems to be a traffic thoroughfare, with busy traffic and a constant flow of people. Teams of horse-drawn carriages carrying goods are dusty. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking and shouting can be heard from time to time.
It can be said that the customs, customs and scenery that Li Xiao experienced here are completely different from those in Nanzhao. Nanzhao is located in a remote place and is surrounded by mountains and forests. The architectural style and customs there are very different. Human feelings present a rough and powerful feeling, while this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River exudes a delicate warmth, just like the spring breeze and drizzle. Wandering in the streets or roads, you can feel a poetic feeling.
Seeing the scene of the ancient city in front of him, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and the speed of his feet slowed down unconsciously. At this moment, he temporarily forgot the pressure in his heart and walked along this
Walking around the streets of the ancient city, I looked quite leisurely.
Just walking and shopping carelessly like this, I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a loud noise not far away. Li Xiao followed the direction of the sound and looked over, only to see the downtown entrance not far ahead, vaguely visible.
A high platform was built there for unknown purposes, and there were a lot of people surrounding the high platform, with three floors inside and three floors outside. It was so crowded that it was packed with people, and it looked really lively.
"Why are there so many people gathered there, and most of them are warriors?"
Li Xiao observed that among the people surrounding the high platform, many people were holding swords, axes, hammers and other weapons in their hands, and their physiques were stronger and stronger than ordinary people. They were obviously practitioners who had entered martial arts.
.
How could there be so many warriors gathered in this bustling city? Li Xiao was a little curious. He temporarily tied the horse to a nearby horse post and immediately stepped into the crowd. Li Xiao's ears were all he saw.
With a slight movement, the voices of people talking around him also fell in his ears one after another.
"The battle today is really big."
"That's natural. Lord Limbaugh set up this arena today to compete with his daughter to find a bride."
"Whoever can defeat Lin Yueru will not only be able to marry such a beautiful woman, but also become the Lin Family Fort's son-in-law. Good things come in pairs."
"What you said is easy. As the saying goes, a good tiger father has no dog son. As the daughter of Lin Tiannan, Lin Yueru has been influenced by Lin Tiannan since she was a child. She has received Lin Tiannan's true inheritance. She is extremely powerful. It is not that simple to defeat her.
.”
"What brother said is true."
…
Hearing the words of the people around him, Li Xiao's heart moved slightly, and then he looked intently at the stage. He saw a pretty woman standing on the high stage, with her black hair tied behind her head, and her bright face.
There was a fierce edge in her beautiful eyes, and she was dressed in a crimson outfit that looked like a blazing flame, with her hands behind her back, looking dashing and heroic.
There are two flags fluttering in the wind on the ring. One flag says "Lin Family Fort", and the other side has the words "Contest to Recruit a Marriage".
On the high platform for watching the competition not far away, a middle-aged man was sitting on it, with majestic eyes and extraordinary demeanor. His movements exuded a majestic aura, but whenever his eyes fell on
When the woman is in the ring, she will show a look of doting, and the appearance of the two also has some similarities.
"It turns out that Lin Tiannan set up an arena for his daughter to compete in martial arts to attract a bride." At this time, Li Xiao's eyes also showed a hint of surprise. Unexpectedly, he had unknowingly arrived at the ancient city where the Lin Family Fort was located.
Among them, and it happened to be that a competition was held at this time to recruit a bride.
However, when I thought about it, it had been six years since the water monster disaster in Nanzhao. The current time coincided with the timeline of Lin Yueru's martial arts competition in the original book. Li Xiao looked around, but he didn't find anything behind him.
The man with two swords, Li Xiaoyao, was obviously not present, and this scene seemed to deviate from the original work.
"When the Witch Queen was falsely accused and imprisoned six years ago, Li Xiaoyao did not show up to rescue her as in the original work. This time, there was no one even competing in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride. Why did this happen? Could it be that the plot of this world was changed?
Changed?" Just when Li Xiao was confused, the competition to find a bride had really begun.
