On the bank of the East China Sea, Guanlan Villa.
Two handsome men were drinking and playing chess.
It was Qinglian Sword Fairy Li Taibai and Yijian Tingyumo Guanlan.
Even though they are two handsome men over forty years old, these two handsome men are enough to stir up the world.
The two masters of the Heavenly and Earth Realm, who the Qinglonghui looked at with fear, were drinking and chatting like two uncles next door.
Li Taibai drank, feeling sad.
"Guanlan! Do you know! My disciple ran away with someone! I am left alone as an old man! I can only come to you for a drink!"
As Li Taibai spoke, he almost threw himself on the chessboard and burst into tears. Fortunately, Mo Guanlan used his true energy to support Li Taibai in time.
"Old drunkard, are you taking this opportunity to mess up the chessboard?!"
Mo Guanlan's eyes were suspicious. This old drunkard was a first-rate drinker and a third-rate chess player. He cheated on him more than once when playing chess.
Either he used alcohol to cause chaos, or he used alcohol to fall asleep.
Mo Guanlan did not play a few games of chess with Li Taibai properly.
It was okay if Mo Guanlan didn't say anything, but when he did, Li Taibai became more energetic.
"How dare you say this! How can I possibly beat you? Even Wang Jixin and Liu Zhongfu are no match for you. If you are a chess master who is over 100 years old, I can't beat you!?"
Wang Jixin and Liu Zhongfu were both national chess players who served in the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court. They could enjoy the treatment of a fifth-grade Hanlin bachelor without having to hold a job.
In later generations, this was equivalent to enjoying special allowances from the State Council.
As for those who are over 100 years old, it is even more remarkable. This man is from Wuxi, Yangzhou. He became famous for his chess at the age of eleven. He defeated Ye Taishan, who claimed to be "the second in the world in the nineteen ways of vertical and horizontal", and became famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the weak year of his career, he was invited to go north to the capital, where he traveled around the capital with good chess skills and invited all the world's chess players to compete in the capital.
The masters of chess in the world build fortifications and attack them from far away, and their soldiers all succumb to Wen Nian, and they are regarded as national players one by one. From then on, those who talked about chess in the world took Wen Nian as their sect.
But even such a chess master lost seven times and won three times when he played against Mo Guanlan.
This shows Mo Guanlan's chess skills. How could Li Taibai be his opponent?
This game of chess ended with Li Taibai playing rogue.
"Tell me, why did you come to my place!? You must be trying to drink from me!"
Li Taibai was tipsy and said, "The wine you have here is indeed good, but it's still not as good as Ouchi's imperial wine."
"Li Qinglian, don't touch your nose or face!"
Li Taibai also knew that he couldn't make Mo Guanlan angry, so he said sarcastically, "I'm just here to complain. Didn't you watch Wang Shu grow up?! Don't you have any words to express?!"
"Yes!" Mo Guanlan poured himself a glass of wine and said affirmatively.
"Say it!" Li Taibai suddenly seemed to have found a confidant.
"I'm so happy that Wang Shu can find his sweetheart!?"
Li Taibai looked at Mo Guanlan, waiting for him to continue.
"..."
"Gone?!"
"No more!" Mo Guanlan expressed a positive attitude towards this matter.
"Emotions are not like your cabbage being eaten by a pig!"
Li Taibai expressed his indignation that Mo Guanlan could not empathize with him.
Mo Guanlan looked Li Taibai up and down.
"Do you remember that you were ranked 15th in the second class in the imperial examination? Because your poetry is the best in the world, you were selected as a Hanlin bachelor!"
Speaking of this, Li Taibai is no longer sleepy! This is the most proud thing in his life.
"Exactly! In the seventh year of our ancestor Taizu's reign, I will take the imperial examination in person, and I will take the thirty-fifth general examination."
What is the concept of ranking thirty-fifth in the general examination? It can be roughly replaced by ranking thirty-fifth in the preliminary examination of the national unified examination, and directly rising to eighteenth in the re-examination.
And it depends on the scores in a single subject.
"After all, I am a bachelor of Hanlin, Lao Mo, you don't know that if you haven't passed the imperial examination!"
Mo Guanlan nodded, "That's right! The pig that you are talking about is the third in the test and the second in the palace test."
"..."
Li Taibai's proud smile froze on his face.
So sad! It feels like there are ants crawling on me!
"I've seen this young man, he's very good! He's much better than you even if he doesn't drink!" Mo Guanlan's heart-piercing words were like a sharp sword, piercing Li Taibai's fragile little heart.
"Besides, people are in love with each other, what can you do if you don't agree?!"
"..."
Mo Guanlan filled Li Taibai's wine bottle with wine.
"I know that you are reluctant to let go of Wangshu. As her uncle and master, you have wanted the best for Wangshu since she was a child!"
Mo Guanlan knew about Liu Wangshu's life experience.
"Before Sister Yueyuan died, she entrusted Wangshu to you. Over the years, you have treated him as your own. Even because of Wangshu, you and your siblings did not have any children..."
Li Taibai drank all the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
Liu Wangshu is not only Li Taibai's only disciple, but also the only daughter of Li Taibai's younger sister Li Yueyuan.
Li Yueyuan is not Li Taibai's biological sister, but a girl adopted by his parents.
But the friendship between Li Taibai and Li Yueyuan is better than that of ordinary brothers and sisters.
When Li Taibai was a scholar in the Imperial Academy, Li Yueyuan traveled around the world and met her husband.
However, for unknown reasons, Li Yueyuan and his wife were hunted down by unknown persons.
Li Taibai and Mo Guanlan rushed thousands of miles to rescue each other, but they were still a step too late when they arrived.
Liu Wangshu's father had died in the battle. Although Li Taibai and Mo Guanlan killed all the killers and rescued Li Yueyuan, Li Yueyuan was also seriously injured at this time and was unable to recover.
Before his death, Li Yueyuan entrusted his daughter to Li Taibai.
That's why Li Taibai named it Wangshu.
Wangshu is the moon in memory of Liu Wangshu’s mother, Li Yueyuan.
When Li Yueyuan was mentioned, Li Taibai's mood dropped a lot.
"Now, Wang Shu has found someone he likes, and that person also likes Wang Shu. Isn't that bad?!"
Li Taibai let out a long sigh, "Of course I know that Wang Shu has a deep love for Yang Qingyuan! That boy is also very good to Wang Shu. This boy has astonishing talents in literature, Tao and military strategy. Truly the most outstanding young man alive."
Although his old father was dissatisfied with Yang Qingyuan, Li Taibai was still positive about Yang Qingyuan's martial arts abilities.
"But he is in the center of the political whirlpool of the empire, and he is looking good... Moreover, this son is also a romantic man, full of love affairs... I don't know if he is a good match?"
Mo Guanlan filled Li Taibai's wine bottle with wine. Mo Guanlan himself was reluctant to use this emerald wine bottle, which meant that Li Taibai had to pester him to use it.
"Don't worry! Those peach blossom debts are not a problem. No matter how much trouble you have, it will only be a matter of Wangshu's sword. Besides, doesn't Wangshu still have the support of you and me?! Are you afraid that you can't win against others?!"
"That's true!" Li Taibai liked to hear this.
Seeing that his best friend was still a little depressed, Mo Guanlan immediately changed the topic.
"I heard that Wangshu and the others went to the Gobi Desert!?"
"That's right! Wangshu sent me a letter before, telling me about this! But I really don't know what it was about."
"Speaking of which, Guanlan, you also went to the desert back then, right?"
"yes!"
Li Taibai looked Mo Guanlan up and down. He had the temperament of a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. Why would he go back to a place like the Gobi Desert where birds don't shit? ?
"I was young and frivolous at that time. In order to revive Yijian Tingyu Pavilion, I went to find a place to learn swordsmanship."
Li Taibai frowned slightly, "Huh?! Don't you, Yi Jian Ting Yu Pavilion, use chess to enter the Tao and use rain as a sword?! Is there any swordsmanship that uses yellow sand as its intention?!"
"No! Haven't you seen the swordsmanship of my Yi Jian Ting Yu Ge?!"
Mo Guanlan said, do you want to listen to what you are saying? !
Ours here is Yijian Tingyu Pavilion, not Wanli Huangshamen.
"Then why did you go to the desert to learn swordsmanship?!" Li Taibai felt that he couldn't understand. "The mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the hurricane on the sea are much better without the desert! If you want to understand the power of wind and rain, there is no better place than the shore of the East China Sea. What’s the good part?”
Mo Guanlan nodded, "What you said makes sense. I thought so too at the beginning. It's just that the overseas journey is long, so I had to settle for the next best thing."
"Oh?" Li Taibai didn't understand what kind of retreat Mo Guanlan had to do the next best thing!
"I went to the Gobi Desert. The word "desert" is the same as the word "ocean", with three dots of water as the radical, and both with six dots of water. It's not much different when I think about it.
When Li Taibai heard this, he almost took out the wine bottle in his hand.
Can these two places be called similar? !
The reason why Mo Guanlan said this was to relieve Li Taibai's boredom.
"Then what did you realize?!" Li Taibai didn't believe it, and he could still realize something.
"I did realize something."
Now Li Taibai's wine bottle really fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this wine bottle is made of high-quality jadeite, which is solid and not easily broken.
Mo Guanlan took out an ancient sword from his collection, Ningshuang, without any nonsense, and started to demonstrate it directly.
"In the Male Gobi Desert, there is year-round drought, and it rarely rains twice a year. But I unexpectedly discovered that there is water vapor reverberating between the sky and the earth in the desert. It's just that we can't see it with our eyes and can't hear it with our noses."
After saying this, a biting sword energy emitted from the Ningshuang Ancient Sword.
Suddenly, small water droplets condensed around the sword body of the Frost Sword, and under the influence of Mo Guanlan's sword intention, they floated around the sword body.
"Zheng!"
Ningshuang shook, and every drop of water turned into a small sword and shot towards the rocks.
But after all, it was Mo Guanlan's own property, and he was unwilling to destroy his Taihu Stone just to demonstrate it to Li Taibai.
"After these water droplets condense, they look like steaming clouds, so I call them water vapor..."
"Water vapor...what a name!"
Li Taibai is a liberal arts student, a liberal arts student who only knows poetry. You don’t understand anything you tell him!
"However, you kind of believe in the Four Symbols of Heaven's Will from Master Xiaomeng of Tianren Sect!"
Mo Guanlan said that he couldn't explain it to a liberal arts student. His trick was science, while Zhuang Xiaomeng's Four Symbols Judgment of God's Will was metaphysics.
…
"I'm a little worried now about those people from the Qinglong Club! Wang Shu and Yang Xiaozi went to the desert. They ruined the major affairs of the Qinglong Club. Gongziyu and his group will definitely not let them go. Although Yang Xiaozi and Wang Shu My martial arts are pretty good, but after all, they are only in the Dongxuan realm."
"Old Li Tou, don't worry! Little friend Qingyuan is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also has a thorough mind. If he can't deal with the people of the Qinglong Society, he will naturally let us take action. Since Mei didn't say anything, it means that he naturally has his own considerations. , don’t be so suspicious! Besides, Sun En, the third dragon leader, was seriously injured by me, and I will probably have to find a place to heal him in a short time. The fifth dragon leader, Luo You Suo Po, was directly killed by you, so there is no need to worry about this."
Although he said that, how could Li Taibai, who had an old father's mentality, trust Liu Wangshu? !
"When you say that, I feel even more uneasy. After all, I killed a dragon head of the Qinglong Club, and I didn't kill a pig. Can the remaining dragon heads of the Qinglong Club find a way to retaliate? They deal with it. If you can't help me, you will definitely have to take action against Wangshu. The dragon heads of the Qinglong Society are all shameless people. No! You accompany me to the desert and destroy the snare! Otherwise, I really don't worry about Wangshu. Shu is a little girl struggling in the world." In the tone of an old father, he said words that could shock the world.
"..." Mo Guanlan said that you should pay attention. The person in front of you is the former four dragon heads of the Qinglong Club. The Qinglong Club is not a good thing!
"If that doesn't work, let's go to Dongting Lake and call Lao Lang up." Li Taibai was already planning to start a fight!
"..."
-------------------
Male Gobi Desert, Bizu Town.
Yang Qingyuan was standing in front of the ancient temple, teasing the blue spy-winged bird on his palm.
When everyone was almost ready, Yang Qingyuan flicked the real energy in his hand and shook the spy-winged bird lying in his palm into the air.
Now is not the time to stick to Spywing, although this little guy is really cute.
However, Yang Qingyuan still wanted to delay Luo Wang's action as much as possible, so he had no choice but to put the little guy back.
Now, a quarter of an hour later is a quarter of an hour. It would be best to wait until they open Emperor Qin's secret treasure before the people in the trap take action.
At that time, it was possible to catch all the really big fish if the Emperor Qin's secret treasure that attracted the snare was used as bait.
The spy-winged bird flapped its wings, and Roududu's body disappeared into the night sky.
On a small oasis a few miles away from Bizu Town, Luo Sheng's team was resting here.
Luo Wang's large army of soldiers followed Yang Qingyuan all the way using the spy-winged birds of Mo Crow and Bai Feng.
"Sir, the spy-winged bird is back, and Yang Qingyuan and his party have settled in this ancestral town!"
Gong Ziyu, who was wearing a mask, nodded, "Now let's see if Yang Qingyuan can unlock the secret of Bizu Town!"
The Qin Emperor's secret collection is a secret passed down from the lineage of Gongzi Fusu, and Gongziyu is a descendant of Hu Hai, the second emperor of the former Qin Dynasty.
Even if we have some clues, we only have a rough idea.
They have been tracing for so many years, and they only know that the Qin Emperor's secret treasure is related to the legendary Zhenhu City.
But even if Luo Sheng's forces penetrated into the entire Male Gobi Desert, no trace of Zhenhu City was found.
And when it was even more embarrassing, in order to seize the secrets hidden in Emperor Qin's treasure chest, they had been hunting down people from the lineage of Prince Fusu.
In order to attract the Fusu family to search for the Qin Emperor's secret treasure, Luo Wang built a fake Zhenhu City after the great sandstorm in the Gobi fifty years ago, hoping to lure people from the Fusu family to come to hunt for treasures.
Liu Bo, who was in the Tiance Army, encountered Hu City, which was actually a fake town set up by a net to spread the news about the town.
Sure enough, the news about the fake town of Hucheng did attract the remnants of the former Qin Dynasty from the lineage of Prince Fusu.
The grandson of Ziying came with his men to search for Emperor Qin's secret treasure, but was ambushed by a trap. Under the protection of the masters of Black Ice Platform, he fought and fled, injuring a large number of masters, and finally escaped from the desert.
But the masters of the Black Ice Platform series also suffered losses.
The matter did not end there. The whereabouts of Ziying's grandson's family were captured again, and they were hunted down in a snare, and finally died in Taiyi Chongyang Mountain.
But Luo Wang also lost the news about Emperor Qin's secret treasure. After searching the entire Gobi Desert, he only found this Bizu Town.
The snare master sneaked into this ancestral town more than once and also discovered the stone sword in the ancient temple. But the people in the trap were unable to pull out the stone sword, nor did they have the ability to activate the trap. So no matter how they searched secretly, they couldn't find any clues about Zhenhu City.
In desperation, Luo Wang could only closely monitor the activities in Bizu Town.
With the experience of previous failures, Luo Wang was cautious about this matter.
If Bizu Town disappears again, they really won't have any clues to find Emperor Qin's secret treasure.
Huangtian paid off, Gong Ziyu and others came to Yang Qingyuan, a tool man.
This person is thoughtful and good at exploring. If he takes action, he will surely find the Qin Emperor's secret treasure.
Hence the current situation.
Gongziyu and his party waited outside Bizu Town for two days. When the spy-winged bird flew back, Gongziyu knew that Yang Qingyuan had already gained something.
In the past, Yang Qingyuan had replenished Qingshui and food in various towns before continuing his journey. If he stayed here, he must have discovered something in Bizu Town.
Gongziyu then sent Mo Crow and Bai Feng to Bizu Town to find out what was going on, and discovered a secret passage leading below the ancient temple.
Gong Ziyu knew that the time had come.
The secret treasure of Emperor Qin cannot be opened by the blood of the first emperor. Yang Qingyuan and his party are just making wedding clothes for themselves!
After taking out the Qin Emperor's secret treasure, he can use the secret treasure as capital to recruit troops, compete in the world, and restore the glory of Qin!
"Set off!"
…
----------------
When Gong Ziyu set off, Yang Qingyuan and his party had already entered the underground along the ancient temple.
The public loser is indeed an excellent candidate for productivity, and he can actually build such a large space underground.
You must know that the soil in the Gobi is sandy soil, which is extremely loose. I don’t know what method was used to make it last for hundreds of years.
Yang Qingyuan and his party walked along the underground passage and cracked various mechanisms set up by the public losers.
The martial arts of Yang, Liu, and Ye, plus the Tianwen Sword, are used as tokens of the key.
Although the public loser's mechanism was clever, it failed to hurt many people.
On the contrary, it was the poisonous miasma in the underground that caused damage to several field staff of Dali Temple.
However, these field workers all brought the elixirs practiced by Cui Keqin, the descendant of Yuxu, to Dali Temple for worship. Such poisonous miasma would not threaten their lives.
At this time, Yang Qingyuan's foresight in reasonable allocation was reflected.
In an organization, there must be a pharmacist responsible for producing elixirs.
For example, Shaolin has the famous Dahuan Dan and Shaolin Pills, and Wudang has the famous Dragon Tiger Pill and Wudang Pills.
Dali Temple also has various elixirs for treating poisons and injuries.
Everyone moved forward in the tunnel. After turning a corner and breaking through a stone wall, they came to an open area.
Immediately, the scene in front of them shocked everyone including Yang Qingyuan.
A majestic underground city caught the eyes of Yang Qingyuan and others.
But the walls of this city are more than three feet high. To be able to build such a majestic city underground is beyond description of the miraculous workmanship!
On both sides of the city's gate, there are two Jingguan.
Three large characters are engraved on the gate of the city.
This is the "Zhenhu City" in the Gobi legend!
No one thought that this legendary majestic city was actually built underground. It’s no wonder that they searched for it for many years and found nothing.
