"Click, click, click..." The wheel of the car rolled leisurely across the gray stone floor caused by years of rain, singing a wooden song rich in rhythm.
The golden osmanthus along the road is even more colorful under the light of the red gold scales shed by the morning sun. When you stretch your waist in the wind, the fragrance floats ten miles away.
The rent is expensive at first glance, and the bronze cinnamon carriage hangs from
The main city gate with the ancient plaque of "Jade Capital City" entered, but not a single person in the long queue who had been waiting all night raised any eyebrows.
Only the old captain of the city guard, who was squatting on the golden osmanthus tree without any image at the gate of the city, with a hand of soy sauce beef and a hand of stuffed osmanthus. His mouth was full of oil and his cheeks were red. He stopped chewing in surprise and rubbed the shiny black meat. Eye circles, squinting.
"Another big shot..."
"Heir of the Taixu family?" He jumped down from the golden osmanthus, pointed at the bronze carriage that was about to go away, and was about to call people to register.
The rules of Jade Capital City must be followed by the King of Heaven when he comes, no matter whether you are the successor of Taixu or the successor of a semi-sage!
So the old captain touched his beard, jumped to the city gate, and slapped the listless team members' crowns and ribbons away: "Cheer up, everyone!"
"How quickly did you forget about the chaos in the Sky City in the Eastern Region a month ago? I wonder if those birdmen will come to your door now!"
"It's been a troubled time recently. I'm warning you, don't let flies and mice into the city. You can't be responsible for anything that happens!" There was a burst of excitement from the side.
The voice of "yes yes yes". The old captain raised his head, took a sip of wine, and drank it down again. He burped as soon as his waist tightened, and he let out an intoxicating groan of pleasure.
Both scratched their heads. Huh? What did you want to say just now? He looked at the young team member in front of him who was adjusting his clothes and clearly smelled of alcohol, and scolded: "What happened just now?"
"No, no one has gone there to check..."
"Where's the carriage?"
"Where is the carriage? Boss, you drink from the lake..."
"Get out of here!" The old captain kicked the young man away, looked at the long queue, opened his mouth and closed his question.
What kind of answer can such a passerby hold back? Each and every one of them can’t even pay the entrance fee to the city!
He threw off his arms and staggered to the city gate, tore off the black gold bounty order, and almost embedded it in the young man's forehead with a slap.
"Watch it carefully with your eyes wide open. Xu Xiaoshou looks like this. If you put it in, you will all be dead, and I will be dead too!"
"Including you guys..." the old captain pointed at the long queue at the city gate.
"Repay me if you find out. I will reward you with many rewards. I will reward you with a lifetime of glory and wealth. I will hold thirty or fifty women in your arms and make you feel like dying. Someone will feed you elixirs to keep you happy for a long time!" After the black gold reward was announced, the old captain said to himself He glanced at it and spat a mouthful of yellowish phlegm to the side. He raised his head and poured the wine again: "His mother is so soft and tender, and her face can be pinched to make water. How can she kill Rao Jianxian..." Yi Shi Ji said Thousands of waves rise.
The people queuing up at the gate of Jade Capital City were half mortals and half spiritual masters. Soon the noise was like a boiling pot boiling water, and the lid was lifted.
"Xu Xiaoshou, he seems to be from the Eastern Region? His rumors have been very exaggerated recently. Even I have heard of this name, saying it is 'Saint Slave Master'... What has he done?"
"No brother, are you pretending to be stupid or are you just being dumbfounded? I, Father Xu, don't even know about it? The plan of Sky City traps all the saints, and the sword of Yunlun Mountain kills monsters. Have you never heard of this?"
"Ah? That Xu who killed Fairy Rao is Xu Xiaoshou? Isn't he a young man?"
"Just a young man! I heard he's not even older than my son. Wouldn't you know that by looking at the reward?"
"Then why is it called 'Dad Xu' again?"
"Xu Shaoxu, who is on the first floor of the sky, is so choked. His underwear, no matter what color it is, has been stripped off by everyone in the world. This is the same person. My father, Xu, has the ability to change a lot!"
"hiss……"
"Hey, do you know, the latest gossip I just heard is about Master Shou of the Southern Territory."
"Come on, come on, come on, I've been pointing out my father Xu's stories to eat recently!"
"It is said that thirty years ago, Master Shou was still a serious spiritual palace student. He was practicing in a place called Tiansang Spiritual Palace. Wasn't their place divided into inner and outer courtyards? Then there was a great struggle for hegemony. Little competition... Mr. Meng was very talented, but he got the first place because he was manipulated in secret and failed to enter the inner courtyard. He followed the holy slave away in anger. After the sword was completed, he went back and killed a bleeding oar and a million corpses... Damn it, it makes me so happy! This is what a man should do!"
"Damn it, where did you hear this? It's great, but Master Shou is over thirty?"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would he be called 'ye'?"
"It's true! I've heard it too! Hasn't the Holy Palace started to recruit new members recently? I heard that because of what this brother just said, spiritual palaces in various places protested, saying that there are internal operations everywhere. They broke out together, causing the Holy Palace to have to put down its progress in recruiting new people, busy rectifying the 'hidden rules' of many spiritual palaces, and purged a large number of old guys who had enriched their own pockets..."
"Tsk, tsk, the world is declining. It's a pity to see Master Shou like this, but leaving him alone would be fair to all the students of the Spiritual Palace. He is indeed great!"
"Great! How can you not be great? A new era has been opened with one sword. I heard that the new generation of Seven Swordsmen in the Southern Region has been selected for a long time. I don't know what the situation is..." The discussion quickly turned elsewhere.
There was a long queue of people, each taking turns to register and enter the city, or go back home. The city guards listened with great interest, and even the old captain enjoyed it.
They, the people below, have nothing serious to do on weekdays. They just register people who come into the city. But when something goes wrong, they are the first to lose their heads. Why don't they just point to this for fun and catch them in time to rejoice?
The young man ran over again: "Boss, this Xu Xiaoshou is so evil. Even if he really comes to the Central Region, how can he take the proper way into the city?" The old captain almost slapped his head and shouted. : "It's because of Xiehu that I don't even dare to make a big show of it. The master of the Grand Formation in Kyoto personally set it up. He wouldn't dare to break through even if he had ten courages!" Shaking his aching hand, the old captain pointed at the long queue: "I don't know how many of these people are fishing in troubled waters, but if you can catch one of them, I will move up my position tomorrow, and you will be the popular and spicy drinker!"
"Boss, I think that girl is pretty good. She's obviously dressed up in disguise, and she looks moist and moist... Isn't Xu Xiaoshou capable of ever-changing changes? I feel like she is Xu..."
"Fuck you!" The old captain flew over with a kick, almost killing this stupid idiot. Then he looked back and froze on the spot, even the wine bag in his hand dropped with a thud.
Absolutely amazing! What a wonderful person! She is a tall and beautiful woman in her thirties, with a mature and graceful body. Three thousand green hairs are tied up in a simple bamboo hairpin, and her neck is stretched to show off her natural beauty.
There are traces of dirt on the long green robe that has been weathered by wind, frost, rain and snow. It is clear that there is no spiritual energy in the body. There is a sword on the waist, and there is a touch of exotic style in the coolness.
It's just that her eyes are slightly different from her body, as cold as the cold wind, as cold as cold and merciless. However, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, this woman with such a sense of contrast... the old captain could tell at a glance that she was a top-notch woman!
"Get out of the way, I'm here to ask!" Wiping the oil stains on his hands on his waist, the old captain pushed the registration clerk in front of the wooden desk with his ass, grabbed the jade slip and looked up and down at the cold swordsman who walked in front, hehe Smile: "Beauty, where do you have your surname?" The woman's voice is like a bird, crisp and sandy. She must have not spoken for a long time: "Jianlou, Liu Fuyu." The voice is not loud.
But for some reason, as soon as the words were spoken, the noise outside the city gate quickly died down and finally disappeared. Many people looked at each other, but surprisingly no one made a sound.
The wind and sand are blowing, and the fragrance of osmanthus is refreshing, like an aged wine, leading people into a dreamy and beautiful world, anesthetizing people's sensitive nerves.
The city guards felt something was wrong. The old captain was completely oblivious. After his Adam's apple rolled, he stared at the beautiful swordsman's chest with bright eyes. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "How old is the girl?"
"For a weak woman like you who has no strength to restrain a chicken, even if you are allowed to enter the city, you will be unable to move even an inch later."
"Do you have a place to go? Old Zhaotou and I are in Yujing City, where we have quite a fortune! There is a mansion on Changling Street..." Liu Fuyu lowered his head and looked sideways, with a confused look on his face, and gently touched his waist with his left hand. .
The scabbard, which was as warm as jade and not stained by dust, trembled, and there seemed to be a majestic force pushing the sword body outward.
"Protect!" Liu Fuyu groaned, and the dust swayed under his feet. There was a click sound, and the slender white sword on the side of the waist flashed away, as if it had been unsheathed, but it seemed that it had not been moved.
In an instant, the morning sun faded, and a ten-foot-long sword rose from the ground, plowing through the wooden table and slashing at the old captain. The old captain didn't even have time to look frightened. His body was already glowing with divine intelligence, and the next second he was torn to pieces on the spot, with his flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Remaining sword light
There was a loud "boom" and it hit the ancient plaque on Yujing City hard.
"Buzz!" This so-called first city in the Central Region trembled slightly, and the people in the city looked back if they felt something.
But he saw faint starlight lighting up from all directions in the city, and the Heavenly Secret Dao pattern was outlined in the sky, quickly dividing the sword light.
——Maybe someone broke into the city, but the Dao Palace Master wiped out the ants. It was a common thing, so everyone turned a blind eye.
outside the city. The plaque was intact and the body was in two parts.
"No!" Only then did the young team member at the back scream, but it was too late. His eyes were full of disbelief.
The old captain is not a mortal. His cultivation in the Throne Realm and the Heavenly Mystery Gold Medal are tied to the Kyoto Formation, and he can lend some of his strength.
Even with passive secondment, that card could block Taixu's full blow. How could he be beheaded to death on the spot without even being able to say a word?
Everyone looked at the two halves of the corpse lying at the city gate and remained silent. Finally, the long line of people shouted in surprise: "Ancient Sword Cultivator!"
"She is the kind of ancient sword cultivator from the Eastern Region!"
"No wonder, I just said that this person didn't have any spiritual energy in her body. I thought she was a mortal. I didn't expect to be so violent. Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't provoke her..."
"Liu Fuyu, such a familiar name, where have you heard it before?" The young man chatted his teeth and looked at the cold-eyed beauty in front of him as if he were seeing a devil.
"Enemy attack -" he screamed,
"Quickly pass it up, don't let her run away, she will kill Captain Zhao!" The rear city guards woke up from a dream and took their own actions.
Liu Fuyu killed one person with his jade sword, and walked away without any trouble, intending to enter the city.
"Don't come over!" There was no answer.
"Stop, stop...stop! Now you are a prisoner with a reward, what are you going to do!"
"Going into the city." Going into the city? Can we have a conversation?
"Why did you come to the city?" the young man asked hurriedly, and found that if his eyes were not profane, the person would not die - he finally found the cause of the old captain's death!
Liu Fuyu passed by, leaving only a faint fragrance.
"Find someone."……
"Baozi, fresh meat buns~"
"Take a look, take a look, the beef with soy sauce, you have eaten the immortal beef with soy sauce~"
"Those who are rich will support themselves with money, and those who have no money will support themselves with personal affairs. Look at my flames, pff~~~"
"Mom, look, I'm a fire spiritual master."
"Silly boy, if you don't practice well and always run out to play, you will have to make a living by performing like this in the future."
"The carriage, what a beautiful carriage!"
"Hush, don't point your finger at me. Have you seen that sign? It's a cinnamon carriage worthy of a descendant of the Taixu family."
"Tsk, tsk, look, Lao Zhang, he's so rich! Things have been a bit uneasy in Beijing lately. There are a lot of noble ladies coming to the city."
"Click, click, click..." The cinnamon carriage drove through the long streets of the bustling ancient capital. The streets were filled with noisy shouts. The cinnamon contained the scent of various breakfasts that made people's stomach wriggle.
The curtains inlaid with gold beads were lifted, and a well-maintained and white hand was revealed, as if it had never been touched by spring water. The fingers were slender and the knuckles were distinct, as if they were owned by a woman.
But through the side window of the carriage, one could glimpse the dim light inside, hiding an extraordinary handsome face, extremely white and tender, like a sick man's face that had never been exposed to sunlight.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, turned his head back, and moved his ears slightly, as if he was listening for something. But the Kyoto formation blocked all outside movements, and everyone was used to the gentle shock just now and didn't take it seriously.
Sitting in the carriage, you can't see the rear, and it's ungraceful to poke your head out. It's natural that the young master can't do that.
Soon, the sick young man in the carriage lowered the golden bead curtain, and he finished listening.
"Mr. Xu, this is Kyoto." The coachman was an old man. He noticed movement behind him and introduced with a smile.
"Didn't the plaque say Jade Capital City?" A weak voice came from inside the car. The voice was extremely pleasant. However, it was accompanied by a slight cough. He must be seriously ill. Everyone who looked sideways on the road thought this.
"Young Master came to the Holy Palace from the Eastern Region to study, so he didn't know something. The ancient name of Kyoto was inherited from the mortal world. After the city evolved into the first city in the spirit refining world, the theme of Jade Capital was decided by the previous palace. name."
"I see... Ahem." Only then did everyone on the roadside realize that this sick young man was from the Eastern Region. After traveling thousands of miles to study in the Holy Palace, he should have obtained a quota and participated in the Holy Palace trial.
Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance. Such a sick young man could actually get a place in the Holy Palace Trial. How did he get it by coughing it out?
There are many sword cultivators in the Eastern Region. Could it be that this young master is a sword cultivator or an ancient sword cultivator? Amid everyone watching and wondering, the cinnamon carriage swaggered through the city, and the sick young man entered the city, asking no questions about it.
"Someone heard that this city defense formation was the work of the Taoist Palace Master?"
"Yes, it is said that even half-saints cannot be broken."
"Young master, I don't believe this. You, a common man, don't know the power of a semi-saint, nor do you know that a saint cannot be insulted. You are really making me laugh... By the way, where is the holy mountain?"
"It's in the sky." Old Man Li pointed to the sky in the distance. The sick man opened the car curtains and looked up into the distance.
The mountains hang upside down under the floating clouds, the red tops are dyed with golden osmanthus and the morning sun is dyed. No traces of saints can be seen under the snow. The fragrance spreads thousands of miles to bless Chang'an.
"So close..." The sick young master was fascinated by the sight and murmured to himself. Old Man Li heard this and said with a smile: "You can't run away from Wangshan Mountain. From here to Guizhe Holy Mountain, even if you can go up, Master, you will have to fly for three to five years."
"You can reach the sky in one step..."
"That young man is awesome!" Old Man Li was amused.
"It is rumored that there is a swordsman named Hua..."
"On the mountain."
"There is a great emperor who loves the common people..."
"On the mountain."
"There is a palace master who has a clever plan..."
"It's also on the mountain, protecting us." The cinnamon carriage rattled forward. It seemed like it was hanging upside down in the sky, the mountainside was lost in the clouds, and even the snow-white top was dyed orange by the rising sun. It's like it's advancing little by little before your eyes.
"Really, it's so close, old man." The sick man murmured absentmindedly again, with a blush on his pale face this time.
"I heard there is a Dead Sea..."
"It's all in the mountains...uh, what is the Dead Sea?" Old Man Li was confused this time.
"Yes..." Mr. Sick suddenly stopped talking, stopped talking, and looked back at the information column in his mind: "Being watched, passive value, +263."
"Being admired, passive value, +184."
"Being chased, passive value, +1." Chase? That woman, are you here to see me? He put down the golden beaded curtains of the Xianggui Carriage and said calmly: "Go to Yougui Pavilion on Changle Street and hurry up."
"Hey, good sir." The smile on Old Man Li's face became subtle, and he flicked the reins in his hand, exerting a little force on his waist.
"Drive!" The Xianggui carriage sped across the street, and pedestrians gave way in advance. This time, no one looked back and paid attention, as if this behemoth did not exist on the street.
The billowing smoke and dust were blown up by the strong wind, causing many diners to curse the weather. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, after the hustle and bustle has gone.
Liu Fuyu stood in the bustling Yujing City, listening to the noisy shouts in his ears and watching the endless flow of people coming and going, as if a mountain man had entered the world of mortals and lost his way.
"Exciting content!"
"Shocking news!" A little kid with long pigtails stumbled past her waist. He failed to follow her, but he was not discouraged. He continued to shake the jade slip in his hand and shouted loudly: "The latest information from the Southern Territory. I only sell one spiritual crystal, and I am sure it will be accurate!"
"The new generation of Seven Swordsmen is here!"
