Chapter 191: The Sword Club of Shishi (1)
Xiao Zhinan is the chief priest of Langhuan Jianlu and the only heir. Although Ouyang Shengxue is also the chief priest of Ligong Jianyuan, he is not the heir of the position of President of Ligong Jianyuan after all.
It is true that he is slightly higher than Ouyang Shengxue in terms of identity.
Judging from the seniority of the Sword Sect, Xue Wangyou and Langhuan Jianlu, the sword master, were both inherited from two sword immortals in the Golden Age. Even though Xue Wangyou was a little older, she was also a peer. Xiao Zhinan, who had a more than Ouyang Shengxue, was logically the same, although she was a peer, she was not very similar.
But in fact, there is no need to talk about the minor differences. Ouyang Shengxue is more of a kind of politeness and kindness.
Xiao Zhinan obviously would not think deeply, and said lightly: "Mr. Da is the first sword in Ligong Sword Courtyard and the first sword cultivator in the younger generation of Jiang Kingdom. Lang Huan Zhinan challenged the mountain gate, so I hope Mr. Da handed the sword."
Ouyang Shengxue was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "It's better to obey your duty than to be respectful, but..."
After changing the subject, Ouyang Shengxue said seriously: "I have some trivial matters to do. Why don't we fight again tomorrow? Then I will wait for Miss Xiao in the capital sword."
The sword club is a place for entertainment. If there are martial artists in the martial arts stage, they can naturally resolve personal grudges. In addition to the practitioners who cannot compete with martial artists on the same stage, practitioners can also ask each other for advice at the sword club.
And the sword club has always been a very eye-catching place.
Ouyang Shengxue chose to fight Xiao Zhinan at the sword meeting, which was equivalent to showing this competition to the world, and Xiao Zhinan naturally had no reason to refuse.
"I will arrive at the sword meeting on time tomorrow."
Xiao Zhinan turned around and walked straight down the mountain gate.
Ouyang Shengxue also turned to Ning Haoran and said, "I'll go to the palace."
......
In the imperial study room.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Ouyang Shengxue who was standing with his head down, raised his hand gently, and said with a smile: "Shengxue returned to the capital, it is a joyful congratulation. I believe that walking in the world has also realized a lot."
Ouyang Shengxue replied: "I have indeed seen many different scenery. The people of Jiang Country live and work in peace and contentment, with joy and busyness, but in some small places, there is also some darkness. If I do my best to help the people, my mood has become stronger."
His Majesty the Emperor pondered and said, "I want the country to be prosperous and the people to be safe, but it is not possible to do it overnight. There are always some places that cannot be concerned about it. The world cannot be full of truth, goodness and beauty. What I can do is to do my best."
Ouyang Shengxue said: "The State of Jiang is already a very prosperous country under the rule of His Majesty. Although the five dynasties temporarily ceased wars and lived in peace, wars in some small foreign countries remained continuous. There will always be filth outside the vision of some courts. People who have been displaced by war will also appear in the territory of Jiang. His Majesty has done its best, but some things are indeed impossible to cure."
His expression became a little solemn and continued, "When I returned to the Sword Court, I heard from my junior brother about the appearance of the monks outside the mountain in the capital. However, I also met the monks outside the mountain in a small Liang County in Nanjun. Although I was just a mountain outsider with a mere four-level cultivation level, the mountain outsider seems to have suddenly started to move in Jiang Kingdom recently. I always feel that there are big problems here."
His Majesty's expression gradually became serious and said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Dan and another eunuch lurked in the palace for several years. Their purpose is not just to murder the queen. Although most of the monks outside the mountain have become simple in their minds because of practicing that evil method, once they cross the threshold of the five realms, they are no different from ordinary people and their minds become difficult to figure out."
The monks outside the mountain who have the fourth level of cultivation are actually no different from normal people, but they are relatively crazier and it is difficult to control their emotions and desires. However, the monks outside the mountain who have the fifth level of cultivation are truly able to hide all their desires, possess absolute power and know how to endure monsters are truly terrible.
Of course, monks outside the mountain will also act differently due to their different personalities. For example, although Zhuge Dan crossed the threshold of the five realms, it is indeed not easy to be able to hide in the palace for several years, but whenever there is an introduction, he will not be able to suppress his instinct.
Of course, another eunuch had a cultivation level far less than Zhuge Dan, and he had not even really come into contact with that kind of evil method, so he did not have the desire to suppress it. It was an easy thing to hide directly beside His Majesty the Emperor.
Only by truly practicing that evil method and having an experience of plundering the spirit of Qi Hai will you have an outbreak of bloodthirsty desire and will it be out of control.
I am just exposed to the evil method but have not really used it, so it is no different from normal people. What needs to be suppressed is the desire to become stronger.
But this is by no means an easy task.
Because the seeds have been planted, it is difficult to deliberately suppress them, but as long as you maintain the normal mind, there is always a way to solve them.
The appearance of monks outside the mountain became abnormal from normal, then crazy, and finally returned to normal, but that kind of return to normal is just a pseudo-normality, and there is still a bloodthirsty monster in my heart.
From the fact that monk Zhuge Dan was lurking in the palace, the monk outside the mountain was in a normal category, it is enough to see that people outside the mountain must be setting up a game.
And there are definitely very few monks outside the mountain who have the mind to make arrangements.
And they were all sealed in the two abandoned places of the wasteland and the snow-capped mountains.
Ouyang Shengxue said: "I suspect that there is some problem with the demon-suppressing barrier in Tianqi Land. There may even be powerful mountain outsiders who escaped from it. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why mountain outsiders will appear again outside Tianqi Land."
His Majesty the Emperor said with some agreement: "It is true that only this direction can be doubted."
But he immediately felt doubtful and said, "The situation in the snow mountain is unknown, but Tang Wenliu is guarding him outside the Tianqi Wasteland, and there is even a lack of strong men from the Western Jin Dynasty and Nanyu. If there is a problem with the barrier in the wasteland, the Tang Shen General will not be unaware of it at all, let alone a person outside the mountain escaped from it."
Ouyang Shengxue thought, "With the God of Tang, it is indeed unlikely that the people outside the mountain will escape quietly. Moreover, the barrier of the demon suppression is reinforced by the strong men from various countries. If there is really a problem, they will not be able to find it, but they cannot explain the monks outside the mountain appearing in Jiang's territory."
His Majesty the Emperor sighed: "No matter what, I will notify the Tang generals far away from the Western Frontier, and will arrange people to set off as soon as possible to find out the truth in the land of heaven, at the latest at the end of this summer."
"At that time, I'm afraid you need Shengxue to go there yourself. If possible, it's best to let Qiubai and Zangfeng go together."
This is equivalent to sending out the top forces of the younger generation of Jiang Kingdom. The matter of monks outside the mountain is very involved and cannot tolerate carelessness.
Ouyang Shengxue bowed and said, "Shengxue has no choice but to share his worries for His Majesty and to consider the safety of the people in the world."
......
The fact that Xiao Zhinan was going to fight Ouyang Shengxue at the Jianhui spread throughout the capital in a very short time.
Even though the agreed time is tomorrow, the traffic of the sword meeting on that day showed signs of a surge in the traffic. The sword meeting was organized by the people, and the Grandmaster League was named and supported by the court. Therefore, ordinary people dare not make trouble in the sword meeting. There are also many people in the martial arts world who resolve personal grievances in the sword meeting.
If you put your personal grudges on the surface and present them in the form of a duel, you must strictly follow the rules of the Sword Society, and sign a life-and-death case before the duel.
The decisive battle between Xiao Zhinan and Ouyang Shengxue is only about competition, and there is no need to sign a life-and-death certificate. However, when choosing a sword meeting, the process of this battle is directly presented to the world. The defeated side must be a little embarrassed.
No one knows why Ouyang Shengxue and Xiao Zhinan duel at Jianhui, but there are endless people who are buying tickets in advance. They can't grab the tickets for Jianhui for a while, or they are depressed and upset, or they want to sneak into Jianhui by taking advantage of the opportunity, but there is no doubt that they are all looking forward to tomorrow.
Li Mengzhou took a brief rest and headed straight towards the Immortal Palace Inn in the inner city.
He did not tell anyone that the picture he saw at the top of the peak, because he also needed to digest it for a while.
He guessed that the presentation of the picture should be a trace of memory remaining in the sword intent, or a trace of memory left by the Lishan Sword Immortal. Through the sword intent on the top of the peak, when it was touched by Li Mengzhou, the memory also poured into his mind.
But he just blurred the scene with the bystander's vision, and he knew nothing about what happened.
But at least it is certain that at the top of the sword cliff, there is indeed the natal sword of Lishan Sword Immortal.
If he can obtain the inheritance of Lishan Sword Immortal, his cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a very short time.
However, dreams are full, but reality is skinny.
With his current cultivation level, not to mention inheriting the sword intent of Lishan Sword Immortal, he could not even reach the top of the peak.
In this kind of lost thought, Li Mengzhou quickly came to the street where the Immortal Palace Inn is located in the inner city.
There was a little chaos in the Xianfu Inn.
Those practitioners gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
Obviously, the news about Xiao Zhinan's challenge to Ouyang Shengxue, the eldest Mr. Ligong Jianyuan, also spread here.
Moreover, these practitioners knew very well that Xiao Zhinan lived in the Immortal Mansion Inn, and their reaction was even greater.
Manager Pei noticed the boy in black standing at the door, and he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Guan Muyun, the first place in the academy, appeared outside the Xianfu Inn in the early morning.
And now only two hours apart, Mr. Seven, the newly promoted Ligong Sword Academy, also came to the Immortal Mansion Inn.
Usually, people with special identities like this are rare in Xianfu Inn.
Manager Pei greeted him with strange thoughts.
