A banquet has been set up in the hall, ready to entertain distinguished guests.
There was not much ostentation, and they were much the same as ordinary merchants from well-off families. They did not put on the posture of beating bells and cauldrons, but it made people feel a sense of intimacy and invisibly shortened the distance.
The wine tasted pretty good. Yu Liancheng drank seven or eight bottles in a row. Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, gave a thumbs up and praised his good drinker.
After the banquet, Xu Xiao left on his own, while Xu Fengnian took the three of them to the most famous Tingchao Pavilion in the house.
Listening to Chaoting, you can hear some meaning just by looking at the name.
The Prince's Mansion of Beiliang sits on the entire Qingliang Mountain. It doubled the size of the mountainside where there was originally a lake, with the intention of expanding the lake into a sea, and built pavilions and pavilions. The majestic nine-story pavilion in the center was named "Tingchao". '.
Fifteen years ago, Xu Xiao, who had not yet been crowned the King of Northern Liang, marched across the rivers and lakes and wiped out holy places such as the Forbidden Villa. Many of the arsenal secrets were confiscated in the Tingchao Pavilion.
Many martial arts people volunteered to be the dogs of the Northern Liang Prince's Palace, just for the sake of a unique secret book.
There are thousands of koi carp in the lake. If you sprinkle the bait casually, it will be a wonderful sight of thousands of koi reaching into the sky. Even the emperor who spent summer vacations in the past few years was amazed and amazed.
"Lao Huang has been trying to figure out the 'Ten of Swords' these days. He was careless when feeding the horse, and his hand was bitten by the horse. By the way, do you know the old Taoist from Longhu Mountain? The old Taoist was supposed to stay in the palace for two days, but As soon as I heard your name, my face turned pale, and I ran away that day, saying that I would take Huang Man'er to Longhu Mountain after a while."
Xu Fengnian casually talked about some strange things that happened in the palace, and also threw a handful of bait, which immediately led to a bright picture of roiling koi.
"I come."
Murong Wuzhu's beautiful eyes shone as she snatched the bait and sprinkled it casually. The overwhelming and spectacular scene reappeared, making the little girl scream.
Seeing the other party spreading bait for free, Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Back then, he, a dandy from Northern Liang, spent a lot of money to rob the courtesan, but he only gave her a small box of bait. How could he be so extravagant?
"Tonghuang, this is so fun and interesting. Xiaofengnian, do you still have any bait? I'll finish it." Murong Wuzhu's beautiful face burst into a smile, and in an instant it was as if spring had returned to the earth.
Xu Fengnian shook her head helplessly, and waved her hand to have another box delivered, which surprised the sweet potato, Qingniao and other personal maids, secretly wondering how this little girl could have such a big reputation.
After a while, Murong Wuzhu went rowing accompanied by two maids, and Yu Liancheng and his party finally arrived in front of Tingchao Pavilion.
Tingchao Pavilion is towering and built near the water. It has pointed roofs and overhanging eaves. It looks like one in all directions. It occupies the geographical position and is converged by dragon veins. It has the effect of gathering the aura of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
There are three plaques in front of the Lord. To the east is the "Mighty and Majestic" Kowloon plaque given by the emperor.
Standing in front of Tingchao Pavilion, Xu Fengnian laughed and said: "Tingchao Pavilion claims to be six floors, but in fact there are nine floors in total. Nine is the number of the supreme. I was worried that someone in the capital would say sarcastic things, so it became like this."
"The first floor contains 30,000 volumes of introductory martial arts from all over the world. The second floor is a dark floor. In addition to the 4,000 unique volumes of Yin Yang and Zongheng studies, there are also 49 rare weapons and weapons. It is my second sister's favorite place to stay."
"There are 20,000 volumes of profound treasures and secrets on the third floor. The fourth and fifth floors are full of rare stone and antiques, which smell very coppery. The fifth and sixth floors are the things that those wealthy people who do not hesitate to take risks to sneak into the palace..."
Following Xu Fengnian's explanation, Yu Liancheng and Nangong Pushe had a deeper understanding of Tingchao Pavilion.
Yu Liancheng was not in a hurry to enter the pavilion. He looked around and saw a square pagoda at the base of the platform. A Buddha sat cross-legged in Luen Tai with a solemn expression. There was a stone carving at the base of the pagoda holding a Vajra on his body.
As if aware of Yu Liancheng's doubts, Xu Fengnian lowered his head and explained: "My mother has believed in Buddhism all her life, so there are many Buddhist buildings in the palace."
Nangong Pushe glanced at Xu Jinghua. With his delicate mind, he could hear a trace of sadness hidden in Xu Fengnian's plain words. He thought it was because of the deceased princess.
Of course he had heard about the story of Wu Su, Princess of Northern Liang. The sword crown of the previous generation of the Wu family was of the highest quality. She was dressed in white and she personally played the war drum Yulong Drum on the west wall. He is a magnificent person who can impress all the men in the world with any of his deeds.
Yu Liancheng suddenly asked strangely: "Xu boy, do you want to see your mother?"
Xu Fengnian was startled: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." Yu Liancheng shook his head, stretched out a finger, and tapped Xu Fengnian's forehead: "Let's go in."
Nangong Pushe looked at Xu Fengnian, whose eyes were dull after being tapped, and couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with him?"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to let him have a dream." Yu Liancheng opened the door and walked into the Tingchao Pavilion first.
Bai Hu'er hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
In the hall is a huge white marble sculpture of "Dunhuang Flying Immortals", with clothes fluttering as if about to ride on the wind. The well-informed Nangong Pushe couldn't help but be startled.
"After a lot of effort, we finally entered Tingchao Pavilion." Yu Liancheng chuckled: "Let's go straight to the fifth floor."
Bai Hu'er shook his head and said, "You go ahead. I'm afraid that after I go up there, I may no longer be interested in reading the 60,000 volumes on the lower floors."
Yu Liancheng shrugged and said, "Okay, then I'll go up." Ignoring Bai Hu'er's face, he walked up the stairs alone and disappeared into the shadows.
The white fox-faced man with two knives embroidered with winter and spring thunder hanging on his waist watched Yu Liancheng's figure disappear. He didn't know what he thought of, and sighed leisurely. But when he looked at the 30,000-person martial arts school on the first floor, his peach blossom eyes shone brightly.
Yu Liancheng went up to the fifth floor in one breath. As he looked around, there were rows of bookshelves. There were neat books on the bookshelves. Any book thrown into the rivers and lakes would make a group of Jianghu people knock their brains out. .
"Just enter Zhixuan in the Tingchao Pavilion. I don't know how much time it will take." Yu Liancheng flicked his sleeves, and a dozen books flew out at the same time, turning pages around him.
Xu Fengnian outside the door was in a daze, as if in a dream, until she was woken up by a maid, but she scratched her head, not knowing what happened before.
Dazhuguo was sitting on the eighth floor of Tingchao Pavilion. He seemed to have arrived earlier than Yu Liancheng and the others. Next to him was Li Yishan, who was disheveled. He was writing quickly, as if he hadn't seen Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao flipped through the bamboo slips casually and thought to himself: "This Emperor Murong Tong really came here to listen to Chao Pavilion. Since he wants something, he can't be stubborn without desire, so there is no need to worry. It's strange to say that the spy spent a lot of money. We haven’t even discovered this person’s roots. A third-rate Murong family cannot produce such a master. Yishan, one of the four realms, which realm do you think he is in.”
Li Yishan's voice sounded like gold and stone: "The Great Vajra Realm."
"The Great Vajra Realm? Isn't it the same as Li Dangxin from Liangchan Temple." Xu Xiao said.
Li Yishan stopped writing, thought for a moment, and then said: "After three years in the pavilion, Emperor Wu changed hands. Martial arts is the only one in the world."
Dazhuguo clicked his tongue and said: "Now Feng Nian has picked up a treasure. The good relationship he has formed this time may allow him to contribute at critical moments in the future. A martial artist may not be able to bring chaos to the country, but sometimes he can have unexpected effects. , let alone such a top-notch master.”
…
It's late at night.
Xu Fengnian was waited on by a first-class maid, undressed and took off her belt, covered herself with a large autumn-scented gold-threaded python mattress, and prepared to sleep.
Before going to bed, he couldn't help but think of Yu Liancheng's distant finger. He couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hands: "What on earth did that guy do to me? Why can't I remember it?"
"Forget it, I'll go find him tomorrow and ask him clearly. By the way, I'll take him to the Purple Gold Building for a walk. Hey, with his appearance, even if he pays for it, there will be women who recommend themselves to him."
There were several ground dragons in the palace that consumed countless charcoal. The weather was getting colder and the room was already as warm as spring. Xu Fengnian closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
Boom! !
Suddenly, thunder seemed to explode from the sky and the earth, piercing the eardrums.
Xu Fengnian suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, only to see purple energy rising and a huge head falling from the sky, followed by a body of tens or hundreds of feet, entrenched in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
The head was clearly very similar to the python dragon on Xu Xiao's python robe, and it was not hindered by the building, as if it was just a shadow.
But this phantom is really terrifying. It breathes purple air, and its eyes are as big as lanterns, full of horror. Even Xu Fengnian, who has been through the world, is still feeling hairy in his heart, as if the other person opens his mouth and Possibly swallow him.
"In the past three decades, I have never taken a human head with a flying sword, and no heavenly talisman has arrived in heaven. I listen to the spring flow in Longhu Mountain." The long chant came from far to near, and a figure seemed to fly from thousands of miles away like a comet. He came and landed on the head of the dragon or the python, looking at Xu Fengnian from top to bottom with a stern look.
Xu Fengnian looked around crazily, only to see that the person's body was as crystal clear as jade, and his eyes were shining. He was almost an ordinary person, only he was wearing a Longhushan Taoist robe, which looked like an earthly object.
A Taoist came out of his body riding a dragon.
The Taoist's name is Zhao Huangchao.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings and misfortunes. Wu Su, your ghost is still there, so why don't you go to hell soon?"
The Taoist did not look at Xu Fengnian, but looked behind him in the distance.
Xu Fengnian turned around and suddenly found a giant python spitting out a red letter entrenched behind him, facing off from afar against the angry-looking dragon.
For some reason, Xu Fengnian was not only not afraid of this obviously more ferocious python, but also felt close to it.
"The Year of the Phoenix."
In the void, there was a woman in white with swaying sleeves and a transparent body, floating slowly. She was as graceful as the Dunhuang flying sky, suspended in the air. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She stretched out her almost transparent hand to caress her son's cheek.
Xu Fengnian looked at the woman in white and her face was full of tears. Her voice was hoarse, crying but deliberately lowering her voice and shouted: "Mother."
I'm afraid if I shout louder, my mother will be blown away by the wind.
…
Tingchao Pavilion, on the sixth floor, all the lights went out.
But if someone could use the moonlight to get a glimpse of the scene on the sixth floor, they would be surprised.
A handsome young man sat cross-legged, dressed in black, almost perfectly blending into the night.
He holds his cheek with his right hand, his long black hair hangs down, his eyes are closed, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, his brows are peaceful, showing a look of thought from time to time.
There were bookshelves on both sides of the young man, and seven or eight more books flew up from the bookshelf, spread out, and surrounded the young man. The pages were turned from time to time, very fast, making a rustling sound, and he finished reading a book in a short time.
Then the book seemed to be held up by an invisible hand and put back on the bookshelf, and a new book was taken down and read by the invisible hand.
This situation is like a young man using a special method to read multiple books quickly, which is incredible.
The moonlight shines on the young man and the book, revealing a dignified and peaceful atmosphere, as if it were a Buddha statue standing high on a shrine.
Suddenly, the young man in black opened his eyes, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, making his whole person look a little evil, like a cat catching a mouse.
"You old guy, you really came here. You really thought that no one else had the means to escape from the body except you, the bullshit land god. I have to give you a good beating this time."
The young man in black chuckled, closed his eyes again, and let his thoughts leave his body.
…
"Wu Su, yin and yang are separated, and the remaining soul lingers in the human world. How can it be the right way? Today, the old way will let all dust return to dust and soil return to earth. Don't blame me. This is the way of heaven. Cause and effect reincarnate." The middle-aged Taoist priest raised his brows. , the awe-inspiring Tao Qi poured down from the sky and the earth, and issued a thunderous command from his mouth: "The way of heaven is mighty, and the evil spirits retreat."
No more stars could be seen in the sky. The clouds were surging, layer upon layer, and countless thunderbolts bombarded down from the clouds following Zhao Huangchao's orders. The remnant soul of Princess Beiliang must be completely destroyed without leaving a trace of dust.
Wu Su was just a remnant soul, so how could he resist the power of thunder? His body gradually faded away.
Xu Fengnian was helpless and cried heartbreakingly with tears streaming down her face: "Mother."
In the original route, he obtained Dahuangting and already had the strength of the third and fourth levels. Coupled with the teachings of the old sword god Li Chungang, he could not prevent Wu Su's remaining soul from being destroyed.
Especially now.
"Zhao Huangchao, you are an old man who refuses to enter the Heavenly Gate. In order to maintain your own family, you have secretly resorted to so many shady methods, so you still have the nerve to claim to be doing justice for Heaven."
A misty voice sounded.
Zhao Huangchao's expression changed.
This voice was very familiar to him. Although he had only heard a few words spoken by this voice, it left a deep impression on him, and it almost became his inner demon.
Then Zhao Huangchao saw a jade-like palm.
This hand is so captivating that it seems to have sucked in all the luster in the world, making the sun and moon dim. It pressed towards the dark clouds, and the dark clouds were suddenly torn apart, and the thunder that was conceived naturally disappeared.
"Sure enough, it's you." Zhao Huangchao had already seen the swaying figure in black, and immediately recalled the beating at the foot of Huishan Mountain.
"Hey, it's your grandpa and me."
Yu Liancheng grinned.
This was his first attempt at a real out-of-body experience.
In fact, he was vaguely able to do this in the "Datang World", but he lacked knowledge and theory and was worried about danger, so he almost never used it.
In this world, there is indeed a concept of out-of-body experience.
Yu Liancheng found similar methods in Huishan Angling Pavilion and Tingchao Pavilion. After a short period of practice, he became familiar with it.
"Zhao Huangchao, I remember I said that I will beat you once I see you in the future. Are you ready to be beaten now?" Yu Liancheng grinned, rubbed his wrist, and there seemed to be an evil spirit in his brows.
Without the restraint of the physical body on the soul, the violence in his temperament was undoubtedly revealed.
"Hmph, you are looking for death!" Zhao Huangchao snorted coldly, his face as dark as water, his lustrous eyes flashing with a murderous intent.
If the two sides met at a normal level, the land god might have fled immediately.
But now both of them are out of body.
And the other party is just a martial artist, how can he defeat his various magical powers.
Another point that is particularly important is that the more advanced the practice, the more it is necessary to harmonize the state of mind. If the thoughts are not clear, it is very likely to fall into the state.
Zhao Huangchao was beaten violently by Yulian City in Huishan. With his strength as a land god, even if he was slightly injured, he could recover quickly.
But the violent beating and the dismissive attitude made Yu Liancheng almost become his inner demon. If it weren't for hundreds of years of practice, he would have fallen into a bad situation.
But if you leave it alone, something will happen sooner or later.
Now is the best time to eradicate your inner demons.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huangchao thought, and the dragon under his feet roared, opened his teeth and claws, flew up into the air, opened his ferocious dragon claws, and rushed towards Yulian City, the momentum was extremely frightening.
Even Xu Fengnian, who was standing far aside, felt trapped in a landslide and tsunami, his body twisting and turning, as if a fire could be extinguished at any time.
The python next to Wu Su twisted its body to protect Xu Fengnian and Wu Su.
"Haha, good time, look at my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!!" Yu Liancheng laughed, and pushed out a palm smoothly, with a faint sound of wind and thunder, and faced the dragon's claw with one palm.
Yu Liancheng's palm seemed insignificant compared to the dragon's claws.
But the moment the dragon's claws and palms collided, Tianlong's figure trembled and became a little unreal.
"Impossible!!" Zhao Huangchao's expression changed.
Without waiting for him to react, Yu Liancheng's figure flashed and suddenly flew over Tianlong's head. While shouting "Dragon Subduing Divine Legs", he kicked Tianlong's head.
Tianlong let out a cry, his figure became more and more ethereal, and finally collapsed and disappeared completely between heaven and earth.
"He is clearly in an out-of-body state, how can he still be so strong?"
Zhao Huangchao's expression turned extremely ugly. He waved his sleeves and a strong wind blew up. The remaining soul called Wu Su is very likely to be blown away.
However, Yu Liancheng remained motionless, like a rock in the wind and waves, and smiled: "Idiot, the real martial arts is to cultivate life and soul. What's more, with my strong body, my body can't feed my soul back, and I can't deal with your little tricks. .”
Zhao Huangchao's face was gloomy and uncertain. He flicked his sleeves and a sword light flew out and slashed towards Yulian City.
But he himself was more decisive and turned into a ray of light and flew away, faster and more embarrassed than before coming. As an old turtle who has lived for hundreds of years, he naturally knows the choice between advancement and retreat.
"You want to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"
Yu Liancheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword light, then chased after his opponent.
When Zhao Huangchao was about to fly out of the palace, two subtle sword lights suddenly flew out from the Tingchao Pavilion and stabbed at him. They were the two small swords controlled by Yu Liancheng.
Zhao Huangchao managed to avoid it, but his speed slowed down. The shadow of Yulian City suddenly appeared in front of him, grinning: "I said, if I see you once, I will beat you once."
The next moment, the fists came like a violent storm. The power was much weaker than in the physical state, but it was more than enough to deal with Zhao Huangchao.
How could Zhao Huangchao be willing to be beaten? This man is worthy of being a land god, with fluttering sleeves that constantly attract strong winds, thunder, lightning, and flames...
But it is a pity that it is difficult to achieve results against Yulian City.
Not long after, Zhao Huangchao was restrained by Yu Liancheng, he raised his collar and raised his fist to his face.
It's a good thing that both of them are in an out-of-body state now, otherwise Yu Liancheng could blow the opponent's head off with just one punch.
"this……"
Xu Fengnian on the side was almost dumbfounded.
Today's dream seems too bizarre and unpredictable.
But when he turned to look at the woman in white, tears welled up in his eyes again.
"Mom, Feng Nian misses you so much."
"Mom misses Feng Nian too."
Bang bang bang! !
Not to mention the touching scene of the reunion of mother and son, Yu Liancheng's fists fell like raindrops, beating Zhao Huangchao, who was wandering out of his body, until he floated transparently.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could never be defeated.
"You..." Zhao Huangchao looked at Yu Liancheng and gritted his teeth.
"You can resist the beating, but don't think that I really have no means." Yu Liancheng chuckled: "Actually, in this state, I have a martial arts that is particularly useful. Do you want to see it?"
"Okay, since you want to see it, I'll open your eyes."
Suddenly, Yu Liancheng's eyes were full of colors.
When Zhao Huangchao met these eyes, he felt that the seven colors were surging, boundless and vast, turning into a sea of desire, making people sink.
Countless emotions circulated in Zhao Huangchao's heart, among which anger and fear were the strongest.
He was angry that as a land god, he was so insulted by a young man, and he was afraid of the young man's tyrannical strength and overbearing methods. The two emotions were intertwined and entangled, constantly rising in Zhao Huangchao's heart.
Just when these two emotions were about to erupt like a volcano, Zhao Huangchao bit the tip of his tongue, his eyes regained a trace of clarity, he glared at Yu Liancheng fiercely, and his entire body suddenly collapsed.
"Hey, it's really hard to kill the soul when it's out of body. I'm still a little weak in this aspect."
Yu Liancheng shook his head, but he didn't care. Next time we meet, just give Zhao Huangchao a good beating, and he chuckled: "But this old boy will never feel uncomfortable. If he doesn't fall into trouble, I will be his father."
…
Longhu Mountain.
In a secret room, Zhao Huangchao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his breath was weak, he gasped violently, and he was still in shock.
Those colorful eyes could not be shaken off in my mind, as if they had turned into the deepest and most primitive nightmare that could not be dispelled no matter what.
Then.
Zhao Huangchao's vast and majestic energy began to leak out, like a flood that broke down a dam. His momentum became weaker and weaker, and soon he fell to the realm of land gods.
And this decline is not over yet.
"No!!"
Zhao Huangchao let out an unwilling roar.
No matter who has spent hundreds of years of cultivation in vain, it will be like this, and it is more likely to be more embarrassing than him. The more this happens, the more unstable the state of mind becomes and the faster the energy is released.
"Emperor Murong Tong!!"
A shrill cry echoed in the secret room, like the wail of a night owl, which was terrifying to hear.
