The blind boy was dressed in a gray gown, and his blind stick was an ordinary bamboo pole, placed diagonally at his side. He looked like an ordinary blind boy.
There were many drinkers in the tavern, and the lean man and the short old man sharing the table were all travellers, but no one discovered his identity.
But Li Changyi knew it.
This blind boy's name is Song Jiu, but he has a more prominent name - the bloody-handed blind boy.
If Li Chaoyi shouted his name in public, everyone in the tavern would be scared to death.
Without him, this name is really too powerful.
The reason why Li Changyi knew him was because he was eighth in the last Beizhi Gezhou people list.
Qiu Buluan, who is seventh on the list, is one place behind, while Nanliu Jing, who is ninth on the list, is one place ahead.
Because he was only one rank higher than his old friend Nanliu Jing, Li Changyi was very impressed by him.
Song Jiu, a blind boy with bloody hands, looks like a young man, but is actually twenty-seven years old.
Ten years after his debut, he started a bloody storm as soon as he appeared in Beizhi Gezhou, causing many killings.
But no one knows where he comes from, and no one knows his inheritance. Even his name and age were only known to everyone after he was listed on the Continent List three years ago and marked by the Gold List.
The only thing that is certain is that there should be a certain mountain giant standing behind him.
Because five years ago, when he was massacring people in the southern border of Beizhi Gezhou, many powerful men who had been famous for many years came to him, but they were all quietly killed.
Even a great Confucian master came forward and was severely injured by a mysterious figure.
If it weren't for the great master Wen Dao who was a well-known Confucian and had great influence in the entire Beizhi Gezhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to escape.
This matter finally alarmed the Langya Academy, the first Confucian school in Gezhou, Beizhi. The academy sent a saint to investigate the matter thoroughly and found the mysterious figure behind the bloody-handed blind boy.
After a great battle, the mysterious figure was defeated.
However, the sage of the academy did not trouble the blind boy Song Jiu. It is said that after meeting one night, the Confucian sage, who was known for his fairness and strictness, returned to the academy and did not deal with Song Jiu.
Regarding this result, the Xianjia monks in Beizhi Gezhou had many guesses.
Basically, it was determined that the blind boy Song Jiu with bloody hands deserved his crimes and deserved his death, and he might even be involved in some unknown secret case.
Otherwise, the Academy Saint would never have forgiven him so easily.
After that, the bloody-handed blind boy restrained his behavior, but he did not completely give up killing, and still killed many people.
Almost every footprint that the blind boy with bloody hands walked on was watered with blood.
The young man in front of him had a reputation for being evil, but few people knew what he looked like.
Li Changyi could recognize him at a glance because Nanliu Jing had met him and talked to him.
At this time, he was sitting in the tavern, drinking quietly, like an innocent young man.
Li Changyi did not expose him, nor did he deliberately get close to him, treating him as an ordinary drinker.
But in his mind, the figure of Qiu Bunuan sitting cross-legged on the small island of Runhu Lake emerged.
Seventh on the list alone.
One person ranked eighth.
One is raising a knife deep in the evil lake.
One was drinking in a busy town.
They are less than thirty miles apart from each other.
If there is no relationship between the two, Li Changyi doesn't believe it.
But fortunately, it probably has nothing to do with him.
Li went to order three jars of Donghu water wine and several kilograms of soy sauce beef, and invited the lean man, the short old man, and the blind boy Song Jiu at the same table to drink together.
Song Jiu didn't say anything, he just raised his big bowl and saluted him. The lean man who called himself Wang Aqi, and the short old man who called himself Qiongshan Sanren were very enthusiastic.
"Brother, judging by your accent, you shouldn't be from our Yunshui country, right? Are you from the south or the west?" Wang Aqi asked with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
Donghu City belongs to Yunshui Kingdom.
Yunshui Country is a medium-sized country in the east. It is small in area and population, but has a long history and profound heritage.
Relying on the Yunhe Sect, which is considered to be the first-class immortal sect in the entire Eastern Territory, life is very comfortable.
Li Xianyue smiled and replied: "I come from the west."
"Eastern Ring City or Central Territory?"
"In the middle region, I'm going to Hanshan Academy."
"It turns out he is a talented person from Hanshan Academy. I am disrespectful. I would like to ask, little brother, are you coming all the way from Central Territory to visit relatives or friends?"
The short old man Qiongshan Sanren on the side answered: "Ah Qi, what you said is wrong. Since Brother Li is a talented person in Hanshan, he must be studying abroad when he goes down the mountain. I don't know that all Hanshan disciples will follow suit after they have achieved success in their studies." Does the Holy Master travel around the world?"
Wang Aqi replied: "Can I not know that Confucian disciples go to the mountains to study? It's just that I heard that the disciples of our Zhaohu Academy in the East must reach the five realms of study before going down to the mountains to study. Hanshan Academy in the Central Region, and Zhaohu Academy is one of the four major Confucian academies, so it should be about the same, right?"
"And I only have one opinion about Brother Li - little brother, I'm not looking down on you, I'm just saying this. So I guess little brother is here to visit relatives or friends."
Li Chaoyi didn't take it seriously and said: "I am indeed here to visit relatives, but it can also be regarded as a study tour. After all, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, since I have come down the mountain, I have to travel and see more and learn more."
Wang Aqi gave a thumbs up: "Brother is so open-minded and free-spirited. I will help you advance to the third realm as soon as possible and enter the Hanshan Courtyard!"
The entire Beizhi Gezhou knew that Hanshan Academy was divided into upper and lower academies.
The scattered people in Qiongshan also raised their bowls and paid homage to Li: "I also wish that my little brother will achieve great success, one day achieve three immortals, and become famous throughout Beizhi Gezhou!"
Being short-tongued, Wang Aqi and Qiongshan Sanren both sent their blessings to Li Changyi.
Li Changyi also raised his bowl in response.
The blind boy opposite was still drinking quietly without saying a word. Only when he heard the four words "Hanshan Academy", a strange look flashed across his face.
Li Xianyue pretended not to see it and continued to drink and talk with the lean man and the short old man.
Because it was approaching the day when the Grand Avenue Gold List was announced, and the entire tavern was filled with mostly immortal monks and wealthy people, the conversation soon turned to the list of the new Gold List.
In the past three years, there have not been many mountain-top duels in Beizhi Gezhou, so the list on the Tianbang list should not change much.
As for the Earth Ranking, also known as the Grand Master Ranking, what everyone is most concerned about is whether Ye Guiren will be on the ranking.
And which extraordinary grand masters were removed from the list because they were promoted to the eleventh realm, became saints, sword immortals, martial gods, or were over fifty.
The list of people known as the list of geniuses has been discussed even more.
After all, Beizhi Gezhou is the last continent with strong martial arts in the world. Countless new geniuses emerge every year, let alone every three years.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Almost every time the gold list is announced, there will be great changes in the candidates for the list.
People on the old list either dropped out of the list after being overage or were defeated by newcomers.
There are so many arrogant people in the country, so many famous people, but look at the present!
“The top three in the last ranking were Wan Lining from Zhige Mountain in the central region, He Chouxin from the Daqian Dynasty in the north, and Chen Bingji from the Chen family in the south. Feng Su, the most powerful prodigy in our eastern region, Only ranked fifth. Now Wan Li Ning and He Chou Xin, two of the best, have both been removed from the list due to being overage, and Feng Shu has been in seclusion for a year and has only been released recently. Do you think he can top the list? "
"I think it's okay. Let's not talk about Wan Lining and He Chouxin. The only ones ranked in front of Fengzhao last time were Chen Bingji and Xie Xi from the Iron Gun Sect. The sect is just a small and unpopular sect, and it cannot provide much help to Xie Yi at all. Instead, Xie Yi has brought it to a level that does not belong to it. And the Tianfeng Sect where Feng Shao is located is one of the top sects in our Eastern Territory. There is a huge difference between the two Immortal Sects, so I believe that with Feng Shu’s talent and Tianfeng Sect’s background, he will definitely surpass Xie Yan!”
"Except for the geniuses from the last year, who do you think are the new ones who can make it onto the list? I would like to nominate Zeng Fuhu from our Eastern Territory. He is a ruthless man who came out of a hundred thousand wild zebras. I heard that he has just been ten When I was 18 years old, I tore a white tiger cub to pieces with my hands, it was very cruel!"
"I nominate a wild cultivator named Baicao Zhe in the northwest region. One of my brothers just returned from the northwest three months ago. According to him, Baicao Zhe was very powerful. He once destroyed ten people on a stormy night. There are several bandit villages with strong men from the Eighth Realm in charge, and I have become the number one bandit in several surrounding countries!"
The drinkers recommended the young geniuses they knew.
Because this is the Eastern Territory, most people are talking about the young talent from the Eastern Territory.
And because of the existence of fairy family newspapers like "Beizhou Hidden Dragon Chronicles", many people also know something about the young and powerful men in other regions.
Not long after, Li Chaoyi heard someone mention Xiao Ye, a martial arts fanatic who had traveled all the way north from the southern border and challenged military holy places such as Bingshi Peak and Shanzhan Mountain without ever losing a single victory.
Another sword cultivator mentioned that he defeated thirteen genius sword cultivators in a row with one sword, and finally crossed the sea. Pei He was known as the first swordsman genius after Ye Gui.
In today's world, as long as you have enough strength and enough achievements, let alone the far east, even the neighboring continents such as Dong Penglai Continent and the Middle Earth Divine Continent across the vast ocean, may become a household name.
The invincible talents who truly dominate a continent are famous throughout the world.
"Brother Li, you came to the Central Territory and are a disciple of Hanshan Academy. Do you think there is any peerless genius in the Central Territory or in your Hanshan Academy who can be on this year's list?" Wang Ah Qi couldn't help but ask. Li is gone.
After all, this Yunshui Kingdom is far away from the Central Territory, and the drinkers present are definitely not as familiar with the various young geniuses in the Central Territory as Brother Li, a native of the Central Territory.
The short old man who claimed to be a Qiongshan Sanren also looked at Li Changyi curiously.
Li Chaoyi took a sip of wine and said calmly: "Because my level is too low, I don't know much about the geniuses in the entire Central Territory, but I am sure that one of our Hanshan Academy will definitely be on the list."
"who?"
"Xie Jiashu!"
"Xie Jiashu?"
Wang Aqi felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, Qiongshan Sanren raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to know about Xie Jiashu. He is indeed very likely to be on this continent's list."
Wang Aqi slapped his thigh and shouted: "I also remembered it. He was the one who defeated the Seventh Realm Sword Cultivator as soon as he got off the mountain, then killed the Seventh Realm Evil Cultivator, and then faced the Eighth Realm Legalist disciple, and he did not fall behind. That one. I heard that after he went to the Southern Territory, he faced off against a Mohist ranger. He even fought against the Shuiyun Sect a while ago, and he was very strong."
Li Chaoyi had just landed from the waterway and had not read the latest Xianjiadi newspaper. He did not expect that Xie Jiazi would become so popular again.
It seems that Xie Jia Yushu is still very responsible and consciously shoulders the heavy responsibility of Hanshan's facade.
Wang Ah Qi's claps and shouts shocked the entire tavern.
After everyone heard that Li Changyi came from Hanshan Academy in the Central Region, they were very surprised.
After all, Confucianism is the first of the three religions and hundreds of schools, and Hanshan Academy is one of the four major Confucian academies in Gezhou, Beizhi, which is equivalent to a Confucian holy place.
Being able to drink at the same table with disciples from the four major Confucian academies is also a great honor for the heroes in the tavern.
However, those Xianjia monks who came from the Xianjia sect were relatively calm when they saw that Li Changyi was only in the first realm.
A Confucian scholar in the first level must be a disciple of the lower courtyard of Hanshan, which is equivalent to the disciples of the outer courtyard of the major immortal sects.
His status is naturally very high in the eyes of Shanxia Jianghu or ordinary practitioners.
But if you really look into it, it's just like that.
Therefore, the sensation caused by Li Qunyi's identity quickly passed. On the contrary, many people couldn't help but discuss in low voices about Xie Jiashu, the rapidly rising Hanshan genius.
According to the records of Xianjiadi newspapers such as "Beizhou Qianlong Chronicle", Xie Jiashu was one of the seeds of Hanshan's study. He was young and weak. With the strength he currently displayed, he naturally had talent.
But it’s hard to say whether he will be able to make it onto this continental list.
After all, the Seventh Realm is just the threshold for entering the list.
If you want to occupy a spot on the list, you have to outdo others.
Because Xie Jiashu was not from the East, the discussion about him passed quickly.
Everyone continued to talk about other young talents in the East.
In the end, everyone was shocked to realize that starting from this continent list, Beizhi Gezhou may be about to enter its golden age.
In the past, in many realms, many eight-level geniuses were able to enter the top ten - even though they were only ranked at the bottom.
But for the latest class, although it has not been announced yet, after careful counting, we found that at least ten young talents under the age of thirty who are of the right age have reached the ninth level.
This time, it is very likely to set a record, the top ten are all Nine Realm Grandmasters.
This has never happened in many years.
Li Changyi listened to their discussion and agreed with this.
But when I think of the world of great strife mentioned by the girl Xianlong Lian Nier, I don't feel unusual.
After all, this world belongs to young people after all. If the golden age of the younger generation is not ushered in, how can there be an era of great strife that stirs up the entire world?
The top continents such as the Middle Earth Divine Continent, East Penglai Continent, Nanmeng Hua Continent, and West Pure Land Continent are estimated to be similar.
Even in continents like the Qingjia Continent in the southeast and the Fenghuo Continent in the northwest, which may have profound heritage or are constantly at war, the younger generation emerging may not be weaker than the five continents in the southeast, northwest, and middle.
The age of great strife is really coming!
After finishing his drink and hearing enough gossip, Li Chaoyi left the tavern and returned to the inn.
In the evening, the girl Xianlong Lian Nier and Xiao Qianjun also came back from shopping.
As night fell, after having dinner together, Li Chaoyi told the two girls and went out alone again.
He rode the breeze and arrived on the roof of a tall building.
Before the tall buildings, there is a long street.
Under the night, a blind boy was walking slowly from the other end of the long street, leaning on a bamboo pole.
At this end of the long street, a lean man and a short old man appeared.
