Central Plains, Qingzhou City, Changfu.
Lin Xinyue sat in the yard, picked up a piece of moon cake, and took a bite.
"Master, today is August 12th. Do you think An'er and Sheng'er can make it back in time?"
On the side, the pale Chang Shuqian was playing with the dice in his hand and seemed not to hear Lin Xinyue's words.
When Lin Xinyue saw this, she raised her eyebrows and pinched Chang Shuqian's ears.
"If you play with your dice in front of me again, I will throw it away, believe it or not."
Chang Shuqian was anxious and begged for mercy.
"Honey, I was wrong, please don't throw away my baby."
As he spoke, he held the dice tightly, as if he was afraid that Lin Xinyue would snatch it away.
Lin Xinyue's nose felt sore when she saw Chang Shuqian's pitiful and chubby face.
"Master, do you think our family can still have a reunion dinner?"
Chang Shuqian changed his cowardly look, looked at Lin Xinyue with some pity, slowly hugged her into his arms, and said with sincerity.
"Madam, some things cannot be forced."
In her arms, Lin Xinyue's hand suddenly grasped Chang Shuqian's chest. A flash of pain flashed across Chang Shuqian's face, but he endured it without making a sound.
Lin Xinyue's face, two lines of tears fell, she sobbed and said
"But, they haven't been able to see you yet..."
Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Chang Shuqian patted Lin Xinyue's back with her chubby little hand and sighed.
"It's a matter of children. As a father, you can't just ignore it."
"But……"
Lin Xinyue was about to speak.
"Whoosh!"
A feather arrow shot into the Chang Mansion at an extremely fast speed and stabbed firmly on the table in front of Lin Xinyue and Chang Shuqian, startling Lin Xinyue.
Chang Shuqian's eyes became sharp, he pulled out the feather arrow, untied the letter paper tied to the feather arrow, and unfolded it.
"Brother Chang, let's talk by the Chijiang River!"
The originally naive face showed its sharp edge.
"Ma'am, I have to go."
Lin Xinyue buried her head in Chang Shuqian's arms and held on to Chang Shuqian's collar.
Chang Shuqian patted her gently.
"lady……"
After a long time, Lin Xinyue raised her head and picked up a moon cake on the table.
"Eat a piece. It's specially made for you. It's also a celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Chang Shuqian nodded and stuffed the mooncake into his mouth.
"tasty!"
He smiled, his mouth full of residual scum.
He smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Ma'am, it's really time for me to go."
Lin Xinyue forced a smile and let go of him.
Chang Shuqian stood up, his clothes suddenly bulging, and his strong momentum changed from his previous cowardice.
He looked up at the sky and tapped his toes, but his fat body was as light as a swallow.
He stepped firmly on the green tiles of the roof, jumped up, and disappeared into the Chang Mansion.
Lin Xinyue looked at the departing figure, wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes filled with admiration.
I remembered that when I first met him, he was a high-spirited young man, a noble man with bright clothes and angry horses.
Over the years he had become out of shape, he had become a henpeck that everyone laughed at, and he was ridiculed as a loser.
Only she knew that in the end, he was still the young man she first met.
According to rumors, he is the most mysterious tenth master in the world.
People of the older generation are often called gamblers, and they often have a shallow book.
…………
Knife gate.
"Senior Brother Mo! Senior Brother Mo!"
A young disciple was running and shouting inside the mountain gate, looking for Mo Xiao all over the mountain, holding a letter in his hand.
I found a stream and saw Mo Xiao fishing.
"Senior Brother Mo!"
Mo Xiao turned around and looked at the young disciple in confusion.
"What's the matter?"
The young disciple handed the letter in his hand to Mo Xiao and said breathlessly.
"Mo...senior brother..., big...big..."
Mo Xiao said impatiently
"What's big?"
The young disciple said
"Elder brother ran away again!"
Mo Xiaoteng jumped up immediately
"What! He ran away again."
Mo Xiao was furious, swung the fishing rod, and paced quickly by the stream with his hands behind his back.
"I know it! I know it! This guy must be holding back evil again! I don't know where the master has gone, and the great elder is not here either. Now the whole sect is pointing at him. I sent people to guard the mountain gate every day, just to prevent him from secretly Sneaking out, only to let him run away! This is because he is determined to be the boss."
Suddenly, he stopped.
"No! No! Why is it so quiet on the mountain today? Why didn't the person I sent to watch him come to report it? There are other juniors as well."
The letter that the young disciple had just handed out was received back.
He said timidly
"Elder brother has taken many senior brothers away."
Mo Xiao was furious
"Prodigal son, prodigal son! Sooner or later, the Sword Gate will be destroyed in the hands of this prodigal son. Where is the great elder? Why didn't the great elder stop him?"
The young disciple’s voice became softer and softer.
"Not long after the senior brother left, the great elder also left."
After Mo Xiao heard this, he calmed down and frowned. He smelled a hint of danger.
"Here's the letter, show it to me."
The young disciple weakly handed over the letter and said
"Eldest brother said that I will tell you after he leaves. From now on, the sect will be left to you."
Mo Xiao became more and more alert. He took the letter and opened it.
For a long time, Mo Xiao stood there blankly, silent for a long time, sighed, and looked into the distance.
Seeing Mo Xiao's expression, the young disciple also began to feel that things were not simple.
"Senior Brother Mo, something happened."
Mo Xiao looked at him and said seriously
"From now on, we must practice hard and not disgrace the reputation of Daomen."
The junior disciple looked at Mo Xiao's eyes and felt terrified. His tone was so similar to his senior brother's.
…………
Not only Daomen, but also the undercurrents in the rivers and lakes surged throughout the day.
Someone saw a disciple of Jiange who had not been born for a long time in the Central Plains.
Others saw that many masters from Jiajiazhuang were heading south.
Others vaguely saw the figure of the Grandmaster.
Some people even said that they saw the legendary sword master Li Chengshuang.
The storm was surging, rumors were spreading in the world, and everyone felt that something big was about to happen.
…………
In Kunlun Mountain, Wan Chaoyang and Zong Fengtu have been sitting cross-legged here for half a day.
Zong Fengtu felt waves of heat coming from his side, and beads of sweat appeared on Wan Chaoyang's forehead. His face was rosy, as if he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Zong Fengtu smiled and said to himself, Brother Wan is talented and intelligent. Even though he has no intention of inheriting the sword god, he has unconsciously learned how to operate the internal force contained in the sword moves.
In just a day and a half, he will be able to break through to the Kuofu level.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound,
Wan Chaoyang shouted lowly, and then his face looked happy.
"Congratulations, Brother Wan."
Zong Fengtu smiled.
Wan Chaoyang looked at the Zongfeng Tu, slightly surprised, and asked in confusion
"Brother, you got nothing?"
Zong Fengtu smiled and shook his head.
"That's not true, it's just..."
Wan Chaoyang said
"Brother Zong still thinks that the stone wall is weird."
Zong Fengtu sighed and looked uneasily at the sea of people in front of him.
"Brother Wan, in the past half day, several more masters have been born."
Wan Chaoyang nodded.
"Yes, at this rate, I'm afraid that by August 15th, quite a few people here will become grandmasters. I won't be surprised at all if some of the great masters are born among them."
Zong Fengtu looked at the three people sitting cross-legged in front of Chang An with their backs to the stone wall, feeling increasingly uneasy.
After he came down the mountain last night, he was worried.
"Tell me, do they want these people to become masters?"
Wan Chaoyang was even more confused
"What benefit does this have to them? If these people become masters by then, then even if they have intentions, how can they deal with so many masters at the same time?"
Wan Chaoyang's words reminded Zong Fengtu, yes, how could the three of them deal with so many masters.
wrong!
Zong Fengtu looked at the stone wall, and suddenly an idea flashed across his mind.
He remembered what the village chief said yesterday. Hundreds of top-notch masters carried the stone wall up the snowy mountain, and then left?
What if they didn't leave?
Zong Fengtu broke out in cold sweat and looked at the sea of people sitting cross-legged in the snowy field in front of him. What if these one hundred people were hidden in this sea of people?
No, even if there are more than a hundred people, it is impossible to defeat the masters who are all over the mountains and plains.
unless……
A more terrifying thought came into Zong Fengtu's mind.
He looked at the stone wall.
Yes, why does this stone wall have to be placed in Kunlun Mountain?
He looked at the three people again.
But how are they going to do all this.
Zong Fengtu looked solemn, and there were still some things he couldn't explain.
For example, there are rumors in the world that the coffin bearer came to Mo Bei to take him to meet the so-called sword god inheritance.
But now that the coffin bearer is dead, You Mansion has made the sword god's inheritance public.
Here's why again.
He couldn't find a connection between the two.
………
In a blink of an eye, it was night again.
Wan Chaoyang said to Zong Fengtu
"Brother Zong, let's go back."
Zong Fengtu nodded, and the two were about to go back.
But I heard footsteps.
Zong Fengtu turned around and saw Zhang Liailiao and Zhang Jianyang, who had been sitting cross-legged under the stone wall, stood up in a rare moment. They used Qinggong and quickly moved towards the village.
Zong Fengtu's expression tightened and he said to Wan Chaoyang
"Brother Wan..."
Wan Chaoyang smiled
"Brother Zong, you can do whatever you want."
Zong Fengtu apologized and quickly followed the two people who were walking away in front of him.
Wan Chaoyang shook his head and slowly walked towards the village.
Zhang Jianyang and the two were seen to be extremely fast, but Zong Fengtu, who had improved a lot, could barely keep up with Yuanyuan. The three of them were flying across the snowy field. The two passed the village, but still did not stop and continued to move forward.
Zong Fengtu followed for about half an hour before the two men stopped.
Zong Fengtu hid his figure under a small snowdrift, but he did not dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by the two men.
But after the two people stopped, they looked around and started talking.
Although Zong Fengtu was far away, he was now a Kuofu-level expert, and since there had been no snow on the snowy mountains these past two days, he could barely hear the conversation between the two.
Just listen to what Zhang Jianyang said
"Today's progress is much better than yesterday, and more than a dozen people have made breakthroughs."
Zhang Liolao frowned and said
"It's still too slow."
Zhang Jianyang said
"This time the right envoy acted privately. Although the palace master didn't say anything, it was better to keep a low profile. The foundation of the group of people coming now is still a bit poor, but fortunately they are large in number and they have seen August 15th. After all, How many masters can be born?"
Zhang Liolao said
"I thought Mo Bei would come, but I didn't even see him."
Zhang Jianyang said coldly
"That kid didn't know the truth in Jiangzhou. If he got into Master Zuo's coffin, he might have broken through to the realm of gods by now. Why would Master Right have to waste so much effort?"
Zhang Liolao said
"As stubborn as Jian Zong, who would have thought that those three boys could lay such a big plan to kill Zuo Shi."
Hearing this, Zong Fengtu sneered secretly. This You Mansion probably had bad intentions and failed to plot against Mo Bei, and then wanted to plot against the people of the world.
…
By the time Zong Fengtu returned to the village, Wan Chaoyang had been waiting for a long time.
Wan Chaoyang smiled and said
"Brother Zong, have you discovered anything?"
Zong Fengtu looked at him seriously and said
"Brother Wan, you must never practice the martial arts on that stone wall again."
Wan Chaoyang saw Zong Fengtu's expression was so solemn. Although he usually didn't like to use his brain, he was not stupid either. He immediately smelled something different. He didn't ask any more questions and just nodded solemnly.
"Brother Zong, I came here just to get to know the world's heroes. If Brother Zong doesn't let me practice, I just won't practice."
Wan Chaoyang said again
"But it has something to do with the line I saw this morning."
Zong Fengtu shook his head and said
"I don't know either, but there are probably articles on that line."
Wan Chaoyang suggested
"In that case, why don't we try that route again?"
Zong Fengtu hesitated.
Wan Chaoyang knew why he hesitated and said
"If you don't test it thoroughly, brother Zong, you may not be able to sleep. Besides, if you don't do it for fear of danger, you may never be able to find out the truth."
Zong Fengtu nodded.
"Okay, then, this time, you punch me."
Wan Chaoyang shook his head
"No, brother Zong, come and try."
Zong Fengtu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Brother Nawan, be careful."
Zong Fengtu gathers the true energy in the body and circulates in the muscles and veins throughout the body.
"Ah!"
He punched out and left a mark on Wan Chaoyang's chest.
Wan Chaoyang was knocked back several steps and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Brother Wan!"
Zong Fengtu ran forward eagerly.
Wan Chaoyang smiled bitterly
"Fortunately, I am also at the Kuofu level, otherwise I would really be useless."
Zong Fengtu supported him
"How do you feel?"
Wan Chaoyang felt it carefully, his expression became a little strange, and he hesitated to speak.
Zong Fengtu said
"What's wrong."
Wan Chaoyang looked complicated and asked Zong Fengtu
"Brother Zong, am I still drunk?"
Zong Fengtu said
"We should have sobered up long ago."
Wan Chaoyang's face became more complicated
"It's indeed strange. Brother Zong, your punch is almost the same as my current strength. However, I felt the internal strength in my body drain away just now."
Zong Fengtu’s expression changed drastically
"This is true."
Wan Chaoyang nodded suspiciously
"It seems like this. It's not obvious, but I can feel it."
As he said this, Wan Chaoyang felt dizzy and fell down involuntarily.
The person who was fine just now suddenly fainted.
Zong Fengtu was shocked
"Brother Wan!"
He thought that he did not use all his strength when he threw that punch. With Wan Chaoyang's current internal strength, although he would be injured, he could completely withstand his punch, so why did he faint.
At this time, a figure came over.
Zong Fengtu looked forward.
It was Lu Dongxuan.
Zong Fengtu was puzzled. He did not expect Lu Dongxuan to come back.
"Brother Lu?"
Lu Dongxuan looked at him with a somewhat indifferent look.
"Brother Zong, Brother Wan, what's going on?"
Zong Fengtu felt the aura on Lu Dongxuan and was shocked.
"Brother Lu, you have broken through to the Grandmaster level."
Lu Dongxuan showed a proud look on his face
"How's it going, brother Zong? My younger brother is now also a top master."
Zong Fengtu looked at Lu Dongxuan complicatedly. He knew that if he advised him not to practice martial arts on the stone wall, he would definitely think that he had ulterior motives.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu."
"Brother Lu is not studying the stone wall, how could he come back?"
Lu Dongxuan looked at the Zong seal map with a cold expression.
"Brother Zong, you are right. I have achieved some success in my practice today. I am going to come back and take a nap. Maybe I will have new ideas tomorrow.
Zong Fengtu nodded and said
"In that case, help me help Brother Wan back to the house. He needs to rest now."
"Wait a minute."
Zong Fengtu was about to go back to the house when he heard Lu Dongxuan say.
