The vast South China Sea, the lush and hazy distant mountains, the fruit trees with dancing shadows, and the sweet and refreshing mountain springs. This soul-stirring picture has an otherworldly name: Feixian Island.
There is a Baiyun City on the island, a city isolated overseas. In this life, he became the master of this place, Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City.
Another heroic figure in Gu Long's works, from the invincible Bai Tianyu to the peerless swordsman Ye Gucheng. If the Scimitar of the Moon is the ultimate in swords, then the Flying Immortal from Heaven is the ultimate in swords.
I have traveled through time so many times and am proficient in swordsmanship all over the world, but I have never used a sword as a weapon. In fact, I like swords more, starting from the first life of "Xun Qin", until Bai Baiyu in the previous life, he practiced the sword to great perfection.
But after knowing that he is Ye Gucheng, he will only touch the sword in this life, and will never touch the knife again, because Ye Gucheng cannot touch the knife.
Swordsmen are beautiful, but if every swordsman could be described like Ye Gucheng, he would also fall in love with swords.
Fortunately to be Ye Gucheng, there is nothing else but the sword, even if he gives up the full moon scimitar that is the best in the world.
The young Ye Gucheng never left his body with his sword, and he would sleep with it in his arms.
At the age of twenty, he became the Lord of Baiyun City, challenged Yu Huan, the owner of Feiyu Island in the South China Sea, and won the South China Sea Islands to surrender.
Immediately afterwards, he defeated Mu Qingshan, the leader of the Qingcheng sect, the best swordsman in the southwest, and became famous all over the world. He would come to challenge anyone who was famous for his swordsmanship, beating all the swordsmen in the world to their knees. Gradually, he stopped challenging. Not everyone named "Swordsman" was worthy of his attack. It seemed that the louder the nickname, the more it sounded like bragging.
He can no longer believe in the reputation of the world when he challenges again. Ye Gucheng believes in Gu Long's evaluation of the world. Only the masters mentioned by Gu Long are worthy of his challenge.
However, Ye Gucheng did not dare to easily challenge those people mentioned by Gu Long at this time. His "Flying Immortal from Heaven" had not yet reached perfection. When one day he feels that his "flying fairy" can do whatever he wants, that's when he will challenge the top people in the world.
Today, a distinguished guest came to Feixian Island. King Pingnan and his son visited Ye Gucheng with heavy gifts.
Ten thousand taels of gold, eighteen luminous pearls as big as the mouth of a bowl, crystal clear and emitting soft light. But these did not make Ye Gucheng's expression fluctuate a little.
King Pingnan took out another sword and said, "The Giant Que Sword was forged by Ou Yezi, a master of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a famous sword in the world and cannot be matched except by the Lord of Baiyun City."
Ye Gucheng said: "Your Majesty is coming from afar. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Ping Nanyang said: "Some vulgar things made the city lord laugh. The child has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, especially swords, and wanted to learn unparalleled swordsmanship. So Xiao Wang took the liberty to come to the city lord to ask him. If the child's qualifications are acceptable, he would like to join the city lord's sect. Learn swordsmanship."
As he spoke, he pulled out the young man standing behind him. Already fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, high bridge of nose, black hair, fair skin, standing there politely.
As an important vassal king, King Pingnan had many experts in his palace. The general manager, Jiang Chongwei, was trained with the skills of the Thirteen Taibao. Although he was still not very good at it, his iron sand palm was enough to crack open monuments and crack rocks. However, this kind of skill was certainly not suitable for the prince to practice.
Most people of noble status practice swordsmanship, but few practice swordsmanship. Therefore, when the prince learns swordsmanship, he must learn from the best swordsmen. ….
Ye Gucheng just paused for a moment and then said: "Okay."
King Pingnan was overjoyed and took the child and said, "Come and pay homage to the master."
Prince Pingnan stepped forward and knelt down to Ye Gucheng, saying, "Zhu Yizheng pays homage to the master."
Ye Gucheng said: "Get up!"
King Pingnan said happily: "This important matter of apprenticeship should not be taken lightly. I would like to invite the city lord to the palace to perform the apprenticeship ceremony again, so as to tell the world that my son is lucky enough to be admitted to the city lord's door."
King Pingnan is very good at talking, and as a prince, he tries his best to please Ye Gucheng. He is cultured and ambitious.
Prince Pingnan's apprenticeship was no small matter, especially his apprenticeship under Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City. It caused quite a stir both in the government and in the world.
The first of the six gates to catch Jin Jiuling; Hua Tianfeng from the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River; Yan Tieshan, the great jeweler in Guanzhong, sent his new manager, Huo Huo, the only descendant of the Tianqin Gate.
Tian Qing and Huo Xiu, who is known as the richest man in the world, were all present in person.
Everyone said that Huo Xiu was lonely and eccentric, but if he was really not a human being, why did he need so much money? A person who loves money cannot be isolated from the world, but he will not spend his energy on mediocre people, and most people in the world are mediocre people, so the world thinks that he is lonely, cold and arrogant. But in the eyes of those with extraordinary status and usefulness, he is just another face. So even though Lu Xiaofeng thought he was weird, she could still make friends with him. A truly lonely person will have no friends and does not need friends.
King Pingnan was a man of extraordinary status, and Ye Gucheng was a useful man, so Huo Xiu, a lonely man in the eyes of others, came to congratulate him in person.
Although Huo Xiu still seems lonely in the lively crowd, the presence of others can explain everything.
Ye Gucheng was dressed in a white robe, without a trace of color, as flawless as the blue sky and white clouds. He did not drink alcohol, nor did he drink tea, only water. He accepted a glass of water from the prince as a courtesy.
Ye Gucheng looked indifferent, which made others jealous. What an honor it is to be the teacher of Prince Pingnan. Even if you, the Lord of Baiyun City, are great, you shouldn't take it for granted.
Ye Gucheng didn't care, Qin Shihuang had been a teacher himself, let alone the heir apparent of a vassal king.
This land has gone through more than a thousand years of changes, but in fact nothing has changed. People are still the same, things are still the same, and all the suffering is just a passing cloud, recurring again and again.
So Hegel said: The only lesson we learn from history is that we never learn any lessons.
At the teacher-appreciation banquet after the ceremony, those present were of sufficient status to sit at the same table with Ye Gucheng, but Ye Gucheng turned them down. You won't spend your time on drinking parties. Even if you sit alone in the room and stare in a daze, it is better than sitting there and listening to those hypocritical words.
Ye Gucheng is different from Huo Xiu. Ye Gucheng doesn't need friends, he only needs opponents.
Ye Gucheng was extremely arrogant, which made Huo Xiu, who also thought he was different, very dissatisfied. He was not someone who would show up on any occasion. Ye Gucheng's move clearly meant that he looked down on himself.
Although Ye Gucheng didn't show it, he despised everyone. The identities and martial arts of everyone here are not inferior to Ye Gucheng, how dare he be so crazy. ….
Huo Xiu has such a great career, and his martial arts skills are among the best in the world. He has been isolated for a long time, and he is not a good-tempered person.
The short, tough old man's face darkened, but before he could express anything, Ye Gucheng suddenly looked back at him.
This look was completely different from Ye Gucheng's previous empty look. It seemed to contain rich content. Huo Xiu even felt that Ye Gucheng was smiling at him.
Just when Huo Xiu wanted to see clearly, Ye Gucheng had already turned around and left.
Huo Xiu murmured in his heart, what did Ye Gucheng mean by this glance? Do the best swordsmen have such keen senses? He just felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't want to kill him, so he could feel it? Or was there something else in his glance?
Huo Xiu is suspicious by nature, and a simple look can make him have wild thoughts. In his eyes, nothing is simple, and behind all simplicity, there is a complex purpose.
Ye Gucheng lived in the largest villa in the palace, but the maids serving him around him were not from the palace, they were all brought by him from Baiyun City.
No outsider can come close to his life.
Each of these maids is young and beautiful, wearing a white shirt and a bright braid. The most important thing is that they are all light and carry swords on their backs, and their martial arts are not weak.
The people around Lord Baiyun are also flawless.
The maid from the palace stood in front of Ye Gucheng and said, "City Lord, the prince has feelings."
Ye Gucheng looked at the maid in front of him. She was above average in appearance, but tall and handsome.
Ye Gucheng suddenly said coldly: "Take it."
The maid of the palace was stunned, but Ye Gucheng's servants immediately pulled out their swords and surrounded the maid of the palace.
The maid in the palace asked anxiously: "The city lord calmed down, why is this so?"
Ye Gucheng didn't answer and shouted: "Kill!"
His maid did not hesitate to draw her sword and stab it directly at the opponent's throat.
The maid in the palace turned around to avoid the sword. Immediately afterwards, Ye Gucheng's maids drew their swords one by one, each sword piercing the opponent's vitals.
They didn't care who the other party was or why they wanted to kill her. As long as it was the city lord's order, they would be done with it.
One sword, two swords, three swords, until the seventh maid drew her sword, surrounded the maids of the palace, and set up the Tiangang Beidou Formation.
The maid in the palace stopped making excuses. The seven swords were so powerful that she had to take them seriously and drew out a soft sword that she carried with her.
Ye Gucheng just watched with cold eyes. Naturally, the skills of his own maids could not compare with the first-class masters in the world, but they had lived together since they were young. They had a similar mind and were very good at setting up formations.
The sword light flashed, and the palace maid's body was strong and vigorous. She swung around in the sword light, but she couldn't hold her down.
He started a fight here and immediately attracted all the important people in the palace, including the distinguished guests who came to the palace.
King Pingnan looked gloomy, and the manager beside him, Jiang Chongwei, broke into a cold sweat.
The prince asked: "When did Qiuxia have such high martial arts skills?"
Jiang Chongwei wiped his sweat and said, "She is not Qiuxia. Qiuxia doesn't know martial arts."
The prince gave a loud "hum".
A person who can appear next to the prince will be replaced without knowing it. If she wanted to assassinate him, the prince would have died long ago.
Others don't care whether the prince is in danger or not, they are all in this sword formation.
Of course they didn't take the martial arts of these maids seriously, but all the knowledgeable people present could see the mystery of this sword formation. The already profound sword formation has many unexpected changes if the people who set it up have the same mind.
