Yunfu Kingdom, at the foot of Luotianguan Mountain.
Xie Jiashu was a little surprised when he saw the letter suddenly appearing in his hand.
And when he opened it, his expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing asked.
"Brother Liujing, I... won't go to Donghua Mountain."
Nan Liujing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the logo of the Nanchu Dynasty on the envelope, and immediately laughed.
"The female prince of Nanchu is also going to Donghua Mountain to participate in the Wandering Gods Meeting?"
"How could you guess that?"
Xie Jiashu was puzzled because he had not told Nan Liujing about the matter between him and Feng Wuyu, the female crown prince of Nanchu.
Nanliu Jing replied: "Before going south, didn't I meet Li Gengxin at Qinglian Temple? He told me about you and the beautiful, cold, arrogant, and extraordinary heroic female crown prince."
"Li Gengxin said that he thinks you two are a good match. Let me persuade you to follow her. In this way, Hanshan Academy will also have a strong in-law. With the help of the Southern Chu Dynasty, maybe your Hanshan Academy can really become the second best school after Langya Academy." Palace, the first Confucian academy in Beizhou."
Xie Jiashu wanted to give him a look. Li Gengxin is making nonsense, why are you following his nonsense?
Nan Liujing continued to tease: "Brother Yufu, I know that the female crown prince of Nan Chu has extremely good talent, character, and future heights. Especially if nothing unexpected happens, she will become the first in the history of the Nan Chu Dynasty. A queen."
"She is so devoted to you, why on earth don't you accept her? Could it be that you already belong to someone else?"
Xie Jiashu shook his head: "I don't belong to him."
"That means she's not good enough?"
Xie Jiashu shook his head again: "She is naturally an excellent woman."
Nan Liujing was puzzled: "If this is the case, then why do you let down the beautiful woman again and again? To the point of avoiding her?"
Xie Jiashu was silent.
After a long while, he looked at the letter in his hand. He sighed slightly and finally said: "I once whipped a famous horse because I was drunk. I was afraid that my love would be too much for the beauty. She and I are not suitable."
Nan Liujing looked at him in surprise.
It seems that Xie Yufu and the female crown prince of Nanchu are not heartless, but they are deeply in love and fear that they may not live long.
Xie Jiashu glanced at him and said, "You are a monk and a natural Taoist. When did you become so concerned about the love between your children?"
Nan Liujing confessed: "Li Gengxin asked me to ask."
"Li Gengxin is not a good person. Don't learn from him in the future."
"I think what you said makes sense - then are you still going to Donghua Mountain?"
"No, that guy is on his way to Donghua Mountain. If you see him, you'll be annoyed. When you see him, remember to beat him up."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But I'm still curious. If you don't go, how will you reply to the Crown Princess's letter?"
Xie Jiashu sighed again and said: "Let's not go back for now. I will go to the Middle Earth Divine Continent first. Maybe she will forget about me sometime."
Seeing how sad he was, Nan Liujing stopped joking.
But he actually has another problem.
If she doesn't forget, how will you treat her?
…
In the east, on the treasure ship of the prince of the Southern Chu Dynasty.
Feng Wuyu stood on the deck, looking at the figures in green shirts and girls in green skirts walking gracefully on the mountain road on the ground, a smile appeared on his face.
Before leaving the ship, Li Chaoyi left a message for her:
"Xie Jiazi is a donkey. He will retreat if he is not led away. If you send him a message, he will definitely not reply to you, and he will even be scared away. Either he will run back to the academy or go to another continent. "
"But don't worry, he is not a heartless person. He can still feel your affection, and he must have you in his heart. It's just that he is devoted to studying and practicing, and has not been involved in love. He has not yet enlightened and does not know how to do it. Respond."
"As long as you control the heat well, it won't take long for him to obey you."
She thought so too.
How could the man she likes, Feng Wuyun, not like her? How can we let him run away?
While the female crown prince of Nanchu was thinking freely, in the VIP room on the third floor of the treasure ship, the well-fed and drunk girl Xianlong Liannier was sleeping soundly.
That day in the small training town, when she saw that Donghua Mountain was going to hold a competition between the geniuses of the two continents, she wanted to rush there in advance to meet the geniuses from all sides.
It was just because they didn't know the way that they were forced to go with Li Changye and Xiao Qianjun.
Now that the treasure ship of the female crown prince of Nanchu was flying directly to Donghua Mountain, she no longer wanted to walk, so when Li Qianyi said goodbye to Xiao Qianjun, she stayed.
This girl dragon came from Ten Thousand Dragons Cave, so Feng Wuyu was naturally willing to make friends with her. Not only did she take her in, she also treated her with the highest courtesy.
She is also looking forward to seeing which talented heroes will fight in advance after arriving at Donghua Mountain to warm up the competition between the two continents.
…
On the mountain road on the ground, I watched three royal treasure ships fly away in the sky.
Xiao Qianjun asked in a tender voice: "Senior Brother, there are about ten days until the Wandering Gods Meeting. If we go all the way, can we catch up?"
Li Chaoyi smiled and replied: "This place is still two thousand miles away from Donghua Mountain, so naturally we can't catch up. But when we get to Qianteng City, which is five hundred miles away, we will take the Xianjia treasure ship, or fly directly in the wind. Go. Now, let’s go to another place first.”
Xiao Qianjun was curious: "Where?"
"Forget the River Cliff."
"Wangchuan Cliff? That seems to be a deserted place in the East. It's very dangerous. Why do you go there?"
"Visiting someone."
visit?
Xiao Qianjun became more and more curious, but obediently did not ask.
Li Chaoyi rode a breeze and took her southeast.
…
An hour later, Li Changyi took Xiao Qianjun to a deserted grand canyon.
This grand canyon is bottomless and almost ten thousand feet deep.
Dangerous peaks and cliffs stand on both sides of the bank, clouds and mist drift in the valley, and there is a long river in the valley.
The long river is called Xiaowangchuan.
Some people also say that it is the Wangchuan River that runs through the realms of yin and yang. Living people should not approach it, and dead people will not return.
The Xiaowangchuan River runs north to south, with a total length of ten miles. No one knows where it comes from, and no one knows where it flows.
But such a small stretch of river is one of the ten most dangerous places in Beizhi Gezhou.
There have been no fewer than ten saints, sword immortals, Taoists, martial gods and other great supernatural beings who have fallen among them.
Li Changyi came here to pay homage to an old friend.
An old friend who was very important to him and prompted him to go to Hanshan Academy.
"Axiao, I have finished reading ten thousand books and have been promoted to the ninth realm of destiny. When will you come back?"
…
Before going to Hanshan Academy, Li Changyi had a courtyard.
One day, one crashed in his yard.
He said he made the wind laugh.
He is a swordsman.
He didn't say this about the swordsman himself, but on a rainy night, he sneaked out of Li Chuanyi's house. Li Chunyue followed him secretly and saw him kill the evil god on Daqing Mountain with one sword.
The moment the evil god's golden body was shattered, the wailing sounds of thousands of ghosts resounded throughout Dazhangshu Town in the night rain.
The people in the town were both happy and afraid. What they were happy about was that they no longer had to worry about the evil god harming people anymore. What they were afraid of was that after the death of the evil god, there would be thousands of evil spirits that no one could control and would wreak havoc on the town.
Under the leadership of the township sage Zhang Taigong, the whole town gathered under the big camphor tree at the east end of the town and danced to pray for God's blessing.
Only Li Changyi knew that those thousands of ghosts had also been wiped out by Ah Xiao's knife.
So on the day of the dance, he happily stole the cinnabar from the grandma next door and messed with Grandpa Zhang's big white dog.
Li Changye wanted to learn swordsmanship from Axiao, but Axiao refused to admit that he was a swordsman. He also said that he had no strength to tie a chicken and was as timid as a mouse. He did not dare to kill even a fish. Li Changye would bother him again. , he said that Li Changyi was not suitable for practicing swordsmanship and should go to school.
Reading a hammer's book, Li Changyi hates reading the most.
What's good about reading? Even if you study hard for ten years and get a title on the gold medal list, wear a red robe and a gauze hat, ride horses in front of the street, drink at the Qionglin banquet, and gain fame and wealth, won't you still be a weak scholar in the end, unable to withstand a knife?
The most famous scholar in Dazhangshu Town is truly a legendary literary star who descended to earth. He was enlightened at the age of six and entered school at the age of nine. He passed the county examination, the government examination, the college examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the imperial examination all in one go. At the age of twenty, he became a prostitute and became famous throughout the country.
As a result, when he was sent to work as an official, he was killed by the bandit who blocked the road before he had even gone three hundred miles from the capital. It was so miserable.
This is quite good, after all, after walking around the Jinluan Palace, most scholars would find it difficult to even pass the examination for being a Juren or a scholar, let alone getting a title on the gold list.
It would be even more miserable if, after studying for most of his life and not even getting the lowest level of fame, he would have no choice but to teach in a private school.
But how many copper coins can you earn a month as a teacher? Can you support yourself and marry a wife?
Hard to say.
So Li Changyi knew from a young age that there was no future in studying.
Of course, the main reason why Li Xiangyi hates reading is not this.
But he got sleepy when he was studying, and Old Man Zhou in the school would whip him with a ruler whenever he felt sleepy. Damn it, if Old Man Zhou hadn't been personally invited by his grandfather, he would have set the school on fire a long time ago.
Go to hell and study, it’s better to be a swordsman.
Not to mention Axiao's majesty in killing the evil god with a single blow, let's talk about the escorts from Changfeng Escort Bureau in the county. They ride big horses and carry long swords. They are so majestic when walking on the street!
As soon as the long sword was unsheathed, even the county magistrate wanted to give them three points.
Li Changyi has been determined to be a swordsman since he was a child. Unfortunately, the escort agency did not accept him and there was no other way to learn swordsmanship, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
Now we have finally caught Axiao, the great swordsman, but why can't this guy get in?
"哐——"
Li Chaoyi placed a bowl of braised pork heavily on the table, looked at Axiao on the bed, and said: "Axiao, I ask you for the thirty-eighth time, are you willing to teach me how to practice swordsmanship?"
Axiao's face was pale and unshaven, but his eyes were bright, and he said, "I want to teach you too, but my strength doesn't allow it. I don't even know how to hold a kitchen knife, so how can I teach you how to practice knife training?"
"Okay, if you don't want to teach me, I won't teach you. I won't beg you." Li Xianyue took the braised pork away angrily, and soon brought in a brown pancake, "This is your lunch."
"Hey, I'm still a patient. Why don't you give me the braised pork and let me eat brown bread? How can you bear it?"
Ah Xiao wailed, obviously not expecting Li Changye to come like this.
Li Chaoyi said with a sullen face: "We are not relatives. You have been living in my house for free for more than a month. I haven't even calculated the money for medicine, nursing care, and smashing the yard with you. Why?" Shall I give you braised pork again? From now on, you can eat brown rice cakes every day."
After saying that, the boy threw down the cake and went out.
The meaning is very clear. If you teach me how to practice swordsmanship, then you will be my master. Of course I will eat and drink well and provide for you. If you don't teach me, then I'm sorry, this is the only treatment.
If you can't bear it or feel aggrieved, you can leave, but you must settle the money before leaving.
Axiao looked at the back of Li Qianyi, who had never returned, feeling very sad.
Picking up the brown cake, I almost vomited as soon as I took a bite.
Is this something people eat? It was so hard that it could chip teeth, and it also had a rancid smell. It must have been an overnight cake that had been left out for several days, right?
"What a heartless little brat..." Axiao cursed angrily.
I wanted to force myself to take a few bites of the rough pancake to pay homage to the temple of the five internal organs, but before I could open my mouth, the rich and tempting aroma of braised pork poured into my nose.
There is a huge difference between overnight pancakes and braised pork.
Ah Xiao hesitated and struggled for a while, and finally threw the cake on the table beside the bed and shouted: "Li Go, I have something to tell you!"
There was no movement.
Only the aroma of braised pork is getting stronger and stronger.
"Li Gouyi...Li Xiaoyi...Brother Li...Uncle Li! Come in quickly, I have something to tell you!"
When Ah Xiao was shouting until his voice was about to go hoarse, Li Xiangye finally came in, holding the braised pork with a bright smile on his face. There was not a single piece of braised pork missing in the bowl.
"You bastard, the smell was so strong just now. I thought you were feasting outside, but it turned out you were tricking me!" Ah Xiao scolded angrily.
Li Chaoyi didn't care at all, and asked with a smile: "Axiao, are you finally willing to teach me how to practice swordsmanship and accept me as your disciple?"
Ah Xiao raised his head and looked at the roof beams, saying, "I'm so empty now that I don't have the energy to speak, let alone teach anyone how to practice swordsmanship."
Li Xianyue quickly brought the braised pork to Axiao, and then handed the chopsticks to him respectfully.
After Axiao took the big pottery bowl and chopsticks, he put two large pieces of meat into his mouth and started devouring them.
"Is there any wine?"
"have!"
Li Chaoyi served them carefully, passing them wine and serving rice.
After half a cup of tea, a large bowl of braised pork, two small bowls of rice, and a large glass of water and wine, Axiao finally had enough to eat and drink. He half-leaned on the bed, touching his belly with one hand and picking his teeth with the other. , very comfortable.
Li Xianyue glanced at the empty pottery bowl and wine cup. His flesh ached a little. This was so delicious. Three taels of snowflakes and silver were just gone.
But as long as you can practice swordsmanship, it's all worth it.
Li Xianyue rubbed his hands and said with great anticipation: "Ah Xiao, now that we have eaten meat and drank wine, is it time to hold the apprenticeship ceremony?"
"No rush," Ah Xiao shook his finger, "I have a question to ask you first."
"You asked." The young man used the honorific title.
After all, Axiao will be his master soon.
"Since you have been determined to be a swordsman since you were a child, you should know that there is a supreme maxim among swordsmen: the sword is with you, but the sword is missing and you die. You say that I am a swordsman, but where is my sword? Do you have it? see that?"
Ah Xiao smiled and said playfully: "If you can find my knife, I will accept you as my disciple."
Can Li Changyi find Axiao's knife?
Of course not, who knows where he hid the knife.
On that rainy night, Li Changyi only saw Ah Xiao stretching out and a long knife in his hand. When he chopped the evil god Jin into pieces, the knife disappeared again.
But Li Changyi had his own way. He took out all his New Year's money, went to Uncle Dashan of the blacksmith shop, made a long knife, and threw it to Axiao.
Of course this was not Ah Xiao's knife, but he insisted that it was.
Axiao couldn't take out the real knife, so he had to hold his nose and admit it.
But after all, Axiao did not teach Li Chuanyi how to practice the sword. Li Chuanyi was very angry. He held up the long knife that he had bought with all his New Year's money and chased Axiao from the east end of the town to the west end of the town, and then from the west end of the town. He chased him all the way to the east end of the town, until Axiao couldn't run anymore, so he blew him away with a fart.
What Li Changyi didn't know was that Axiao actually wanted to teach him how to practice swordsmanship that day, but that night, old man Zhou from the school came to Axiao and told Axiao that if he dared to steal his disciple, he would follow him He fought hard.
So Ah Xiao could only regret it.
Later, Axiao recovered from his injuries and left the town.
Before leaving, he told Li Qianyi that when he becomes a direct descendant of one of the four major Confucian academies in Beizhi Gezhou and becomes a practitioner, he will teach him how to practice swordsmanship.
Practice the invincible sword.
If you want to practice swordsmanship, you must first study. Li Changyue wrote down these words and followed Old Man Zhou away from the school and went to Hanshan Academy.
When he went to Hanshan Academy, Li Changyou realized that Axiao was the most inferior swordsman in the world. He was taught to be an invincible swordsman. That guy didn't even enter the country.
Not even as good as a sword cultivator in the first realm.
But later, from the newspaper of Xianjia Residence, he saw that Axiao, who had not entered the country, actually killed six sword kings who were above the tenth level.
Many people call him - Feng Zaixiao, the number one sword king in Gezhou, Beizhi.
But Ah Xiao said that he was just a swordsman, not even a swordsman.
Li Chaoyi sent him Feijian a message and asked him when he would come to teach him how to practice swordsmanship.
Ah Xiao wrote back and said that he was going to kill another person.
When he finishes reading ten thousand books and becomes a Confucian master in at least the ninth realm of destiny, he will teach him the invincible sword.
Li Changyi studied hard and looked forward to that day.
As a result, not long after, all the newspapers of the Xianjia Mansion recorded a news: Feng Zaixiao, who killed the seventh Sword Emperor, was struck by a sword flying out of the river of time and into the Wangchuan River, and his soul was shattered.
Li Changyi didn't believe the news.
So he came today.
