The sky was getting dark, and the fleet was slowly moving forward on the Luoshui River. The smoke was rising from each sailboat, and they began to prepare dinner.
The central ship is still heavily defended. Yan Shisan, Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu also maintain their original actions. Two people are on duty and one person is cleaning the sword. Unless there are special circumstances, I am afraid they can maintain this action until they reach their destination. Stop the boat and dock.
But after all, I still can’t wait until that time——
"Click——"
With a slightly dull sound, the cabin door was opened from the inside.
The three of them were all startled and quickly turned their heads. Then Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu were both overjoyed and quickly bent down and handed over their hands:
"Lord Governor, you're awake!"
Yan Shisan sheathed the long sword, stood up from the ground, looked at the figure in white whose complexion had returned to normal, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um."
Yu Huatian nodded quietly, then looked straight at Yan Shisan. In the astonished eyes of the three people, he said, "Come on, stab me with your sword and try."
"???"
The three of them suddenly looked confused. Yan Shisan was also puzzled. Then he glanced at Yu Huatian's head subconsciously and frowned slightly:
"Are you... um, okay?"
The corners of Yu Huatian's eyes twitched, and then he stopped talking nonsense and circulated his Qi. A layer of faint golden Qi suddenly began to appear on his body:
"Come!"
"This is... the golden bell cover of Shaolin Temple?"
A flash of surprise appeared in Yan Shisan's eyes, and he immediately realized that Yu Huatian was preparing to test his skills on himself.
"Stop talking nonsense and come on."
Yu Huatian did not explain, but took a step to the side with his right foot and assumed a defensive posture.
Sword cultivators and gun cultivators are considered to have the strongest attack power among all weapons. Although Yan Shisan's level of Qi has only reached the middle stage of Grand Master at the moment, the Thirteen Deadly Swords have already been completed, and their combat power is comparable to that of many ordinary boxing and kicking masters. , the attack power is not weak.
As long as the immortal golden body can block Yan Shisan's sword, then no one under the Grand Master can hurt him again.
When Yan Shisan heard this, his expression became serious. Without saying a word, he pulled out the long sword in his hand, looked at Yuhuatian, then took a deep breath, and wisps of sharp sword intent emanated from his body.
next moment--
"Yin——"
There seemed to be the sound of wind and thunder at the cabin door. Yan Shisan's sword came out like a dragon, and the terrifying killing sword energy swept across. The expressions of Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu changed slightly. They thought Yan Shisan wanted to take this opportunity to be honest. The two of them subconsciously put their hands on their weapons.
But before they could take action, Yu Huatian's expression was calm when facing this sharp sword. He just raised his right hand slightly and blocked the green and black sword in his palm, unable to move forward an inch.
"Ding!"
When the palms of the swords faced each other, they made a crisp sound like the clash of gold and iron.
Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu were both slightly startled, and then looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Even Yan Shisan's pupils shrank, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He took a closer look and saw that his sword only reached an inch outside Yuhuatian's palm and was already unable to break through. It turned out that this layer of golden body-protecting aura stayed on the surface of Yuhuatian's body, covering it. All the power and sword energy of his sword were blocked by the Gang Qi shield.
"This... doesn't seem to be a golden bell?"
A trace of doubt appeared in Yan Shisan's eyes.
The Golden Bell is Shaolin's famous stunt. It is a hard Qigong. Once practiced, it not only has amazing defensive power, but also can counterattack the opponent's attacks.
However, the sword that just stabbed Yu Huatian did not feel the force of the repulse. He only felt like he had stabbed an iron plate, unable to break through this golden shield at all.
"This is a purely defensive martial art called 'Immortal Golden Body'. It is also improved from the golden bell. It discards the anti-shock function of the golden bell and focuses on strengthening defense."
Yuhuatian explained aloud, while a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Since it can withstand Yan Shisan's sword, it can block most of the weapons in the world. Under the Grand Master, absolutely no one can break the immortal golden body.
Although this immortal golden body also has weaknesses, the key is in the armpit. Once it is stabbed in the armpit, the defense will be broken.
But even if someone knows the secret, it is impossible for anyone under the Grand Master to get close to him and hit his secret, so this weakness is not actually a weakness.
Yu Huatian is more concerned about whether the immortal golden body can block the attack of the Grand Master?
Have to try it if you have a chance...
Suppressing his thoughts, Yu Huatian looked at Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu beside him and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
The two men came to their senses immediately, and Ma Jinliang hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully replied: "Master Governor, you have been in a coma for three days. It is already the fourth day. In a few days, we can return to the capital."
Yuhuatian nodded slightly, glanced at the fleets following on both sides, and said, "Tell me carefully what happened in the past few days when I was unconscious."
"yes."
Ma Jinliang held up his hand and continued: "Not long after you fell into unconsciousness, Lord Governor, the second black sand storm came and flooded Blackwater City again."
"With the assistance of the Longmen defenders, our people suffered no casualties and all safely evacuated the desert. However, the Mongols and hundreds of masters from the Xixia Yipin Hall were all drowned in the Blackwater City by the wind and sand."
"After arriving at Longmen Pass, in order to prevent accidents from happening, my subordinates took it upon themselves to ask people to take all the gold with them, and then set off back to Beijing by water. Along the way, they were secretly escorted by Jin Yiwei and garrison guards from various places to ensure that there would be no problems. "
Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "You are right, but things will change later. With so much gold, there is no guarantee that someone will not take risks."
Ma Jin's conscience was slightly relaxed.
Yuhuatian continued to ask: "Is there any recent news in Jianghu?"
Ma Jinliang replied: "The news of the treasure has been thoroughly spread. There has been a lot of commotion in the world recently, but there has been no movement among the forces involved in the fight for the treasure."
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered: "Send people to target the Jianghu forces who came to the desert this time, especially Shaolin, Wudang, Money Gang, Sun Moon God Sect, Tianzun and other forces. Once they make any changes, Pay back immediately.”
"yes."
Ma Jinliang nodded, then hesitated and said: "Other forces have fixed locations, but Tianzun and Black Stone, our people have never found out where their headquarters is."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "Tianzun, please send someone to keep an eye on the pond owner Murong Qiudi of the Seven Stars Pond in the south of the Yangtze River. You can directly send someone to warn her and tell her not to make any small moves, otherwise I won't mind. Come to the door in person and let her taste the power of my sword!"
Ma Jinliang's eyes flashed: "What do you mean, Lord Governor, is this murderer organization Tianzun created by Murong Qiudi?"
Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "Seven years ago, Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of Shenjian Villa, made an engagement with Murong Qiudi, the daughter of Murong Zheng of Qixingtang. Murong Qiudi became pregnant before marriage. Who would have thought that Xie Xiaofeng would be pregnant on the wedding day? He abandoned Murong Qiudi and his unborn child and ran away. Qixingtang became a complete laughing stock. Murong Zheng was so angry about this that he fell ill and died soon after. Murong Qiudi became hateful because of love, so he I secretly recruited some martial arts scum and founded Tianzun."
As soon as these words came out, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of Ma Jinliang and the other three people.
Who would have thought that Xie Xiaofeng, the sword god who ranked fifth among the top ten swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty, would have such an unknown past?
After Yan Shisan was stunned, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Abandoning a wife and a son is not something a gentleman would do. Fortunately, I still regard him as the greatest enemy in this life. Now it seems that this Xie Xiaofeng is nothing more than that!"
Yu Huatian glanced at him and said calmly: "Xie Xiaofeng's character may not be as good as yours, but his sword is not weak, otherwise he would not be among the top five in the Ming Dynasty's sword list. At this moment, he should be experiencing a low point in his life, but Once he wakes up, he will definitely undergo a transformation, and by then he will become a being that you look up to. Without the Fourteenth Sword, you would not be able to fight back in front of him."
Hearing this, Yan Shisan's eyes sharpened, and his heart suddenly became more urgent and less contemptuous.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will realize the Fourteenth Sword as soon as possible. One day, I will defeat him in an upright manner and prove to the world that Yan Shisan is Yan Shisan and not Xie Xiaofeng's shadow! "
"I hope so. If you can't kill him, I will do it myself."
Yu Huatian didn't say anything more about the matter. He turned to look at Ma Jinliang and said: "As for Black Stone, the most critical Wheel King and several gold medal killers are almost dead. Although Xiao Yu escaped, but she alone, It can't make big waves yet, so just send someone to pay more attention, and ignore the rest. Without the King of Wheels, Black Stone can't jump."
"yes!"
Ma Jinliang nodded, and then seemed to remember something. He quickly took out something from his arms, presented it with both hands, and handed it to Yu Huatian respectfully: "Master, this object was found from the palace of Heishui City. It should be from Dabai Shangguo back then." The jade seal passed down to the country."
Yu Huatian took it, opened the wrapping cloth and took a look, and saw that it was indeed a jade seal that did not resemble the style of the Central Plains Dynasty, with some Xixia inscriptions engraved on it.
Ma Jinliang said: "The Great White Kingdom is the predecessor of the Xixia Kingdom. The Great White Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols and became a slave to the Mongols. Although it was established and renamed Xixia in recent years, it has always relied on the Mongols to survive."
"But my subordinates heard that the Xixia king of this generation, Li Yuanhao, was very ambitious and wanted to break away from the Mongols and stand on his own. However, he did not have a national jade seal. Li Yuanhao has always been questioned about his improper position. Many people in the court were dissatisfied with him."
"This time Princess Li Qiushui of Xixia and General Helian Tieshu brought people to the desert, probably mainly for this jade seal to stabilize Li Yuanhao's regime."
Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "Maybe."
After pondering for a moment, Yuhuatian returned the jade seal to Ma Jinliang: "Take it back and keep it well. It should be useful in the future."
"yes."
Ma Jinliang took the jade seal and put it back in his arms to keep it.
Yu Huatian glanced at Ding Xiu, who had regained his cynical look next to him, then looked at Ma Jinliang and Yan Shisan, and said calmly: "On this trip to the desert, you guys should also have a preliminary understanding of your own strength. With this Your strength may make you a big name in the world, but once you meet a real master, you are still a bit unsatisfied."
"My ambition is to pacify the world. Currently, all Jianghu sects that do not obey the imperial court's orders will be our opponents in the future. With your current strength, how can you help me?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell silent.
Yu Huatian looked at them and continued: "Your martial arts are all good. Jin Liang masters the attack and killing double swords. You can ask Yan Shisan for more advice. Ding Xiu's sword skills are not bad, but they are not perfect yet and they still need to be mastered." Practice more."
"As for internal strength..."
Yuhuatian paused, then took out two secret books from his arms and said:
"The internal energy I practice is not suitable for you. Of these two secret books, one is the Star Absorbing Technique, which can absorb people's internal energy, but it cannot be converted into one's own true energy. If you absorb too much and cannot reconcile it, there is a risk of going crazy; The other is the Zixia secret book of the Huashan Sect, which is a superior internal skill."
"You can try to practice together and slowly transform the internal energy absorbed by the Star Absorbing Technique into Zixia Zhenqi. If this method does not work, then immediately dissipate your skills and specialize in the Zixia secret book. Wait until you find a suitable one in the future, and then transfer it. Cultivate other internal skills.”
A trace of excitement flashed in Ma Jinliang's eyes, he took the secret book with both hands and said respectfully: "I will not let the governor down!"
"I hope so."
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Hurry back to Beijing at full speed. Pay more attention to the situation. If there is any abnormal situation, report it immediately."
After that, he turned around again, returned to the cabin, and closed the door.
At the door, Ma Jinliang and the three of them looked at each other, with a strong sense of competition in their eyes.
…
In the autumn rain, the fleet headed eastward, pointing directly towards the capital.
In the mountains and fields on the bank of the river, three figures followed the fleet side by side. Their movements were extremely fast, especially the one in the middle. His figure was elegant, like a purple phoenix soaring into the sky, making it difficult to see clearly.
These three figures were Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Fu Hongxue who parted ways with the Xichang team after leaving the desert.
Although Hua Manlou was blind, his speed was not slow. He closely followed the footsteps of Lu Xiaofeng and Fu Hongxue and said in a deep voice:
"Lu Xiaoji, since you are not interested in the treasures, but you have been following the people from Xichang since they set off. Are you worried about these treasures?"
Lu Xiaofeng paused slightly, then continued to move forward, saying calmly: "Brother Hua still understands me."
"Although the treasure has now fallen into the hands of the imperial court, as long as it has not been sent to the capital, there is no guarantee that no one will continue to pursue the treasure. Xichang Factory was injured and fell into a coma again. Xichang is leaderless. Once something happens, these treasures will It is very likely to fall into the hands of some evil people."
Hua Manlou frowned and said: "Since you don't want to get the treasure, then whose hands the treasure falls into, what does it have to do with you?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed: "In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by famines, and there have been constant disputes between Jianghu forces. Good and evil factions have fought openly and secretly, causing countless casualties. But in the end, most of the innocent people have suffered."
"Especially in the south, there have been recent floods. Hundreds of thousands of people have become homeless and have become refugees. The government's economy is so tight that it can't even come up with the appropriate amount of money. Sending this batch of treasures back should provide relief for a period of time. , help more people."
Hearing this, Fu Hongxue glanced at him and said mockingly: "How do you know that this batch of gold will eventually be used to save the people instead of falling into the hands of those corrupt officials in the court?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said seriously: "In fact, the current Holy Emperor is not stupid. It is just that there are too many corrupt officials in the court and blocking the Holy Spirit's hearing, which has led to such turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. And this Xichangchang Gongyuhuatian, although he has not been in contact with him for a long time , but I can see that although this person is quite ambitious and scheming, he still has a conscience."
"Just like the last time I chased the flower-picking thief Tian Boguang, he tricked him into a trick, but in the end he couldn't escape death and sent his head directly to the Yuhuatian sword. It can be seen that this Yuhuatian is still Being able to distinguish between right and wrong.”
"With the help of this person, this batch of gold should be able to enter the national treasury smoothly and be used to rescue refugees."
Fu Hongxue said indifferently: "I hope your judgment is correct."
"I've never seen anyone make a mistake."
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "This Yuhuatian is different from others. He is in charge of the West Factory and only listens to the orders of the emperor. Therefore, he is destined to be the same as the officials in the court. In this way, there is no interest involved."
"And he's just a eunuch. It's no use if he wants too much gold."
"The most important thing is that with his ambition and ambition, I'm afraid what he wants is not this gold, but more and bigger things..."
Lu Xiaofeng said, taking a deep look at the big ship in the middle of the river, his eyes full of fear.
Traveling around the world for many years, he has seen many heroes, such as Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Yu Tian, the leader of the Supreme Alliance, Ye Gucheng, the leader of Baiyun City... and even the mysterious leader of the Money Gang, Shangguan Jinhong, who dominates many areas in the south of the Yangtze River. He met them all in person.
But this Xichang Changgong Yu Hua Tian is different from these people.
The greatest ambition of these martial arts heroes is to dominate the world and unify the martial arts world.
But in the eyes of the West Factory owner, what he saw seemed to be that the whole world, the entire world, were among his targets.
This man's ambition is unimaginably great!
I just don’t know whether having this person in Ming Dynasty is a disaster or a blessing...

Two-in-one, new book issues and updates are all the same. I’m just too lazy to divide chapters sometimes, but the number of words in one chapter is the same as two chapters in other books. Don’t tell me that I only write one chapter every day. There are only three days left. Once it’s on the shelves, updates will definitely be sped up when the time comes.
Thank you all for your daily votes, comments and tips during the new book period...
