Sword of Coming

Wearing a green shirt, I walked through the Lanfang Kingdom and traveled north.

The Lanfang Kingdom is rich in precious orchids. As a country, they are crazy about spending money and their families are rich and small. They almost only care about how many expensive orchids there are.

Other than that, there is nothing special, but there are some customs that make people remember deeply. For example, women like to throw money into the river to ask for good or bad luck. People in the country, no matter rich or poor, all like to release animals. It is popular in the government and the public, but only in the upper reaches. There are many scenes of pious release of animals and fishing and turtle catching in the lower reaches. There are also boat trackers, young and old women, all with their upper bodies bare, letting the sun scorch their backs, leaving scars like ravines in dry fields. In addition, when droughts and floods occur in various places, people like to tie up paper Dragon Kings and parade them through the streets. However, instead of praying to the Dragon King for rain or taking shelter from the rain, they keep beating the Paper Dragon Kings until they are broken into pieces.

To the north of the Lanfang Kingdom is the Qingci Kingdom. The monarchs and ministers advocate Taoism, and there are many Taoist temples. Buddhism is suppressed vigorously. The temples that are occasionally seen are not popular.

Further north, there is the Jinfei Kingdom, a southern vassal of the Da Zhuan Dynasty. The martial culture is extremely strong. Fights in the streets can be seen almost everywhere, and often bloody. Many young and powerful men from wealthy families are fond of using their bows and swords to form groups and plot. The horse travels far away, and the hawk-armed eagle hunts everywhere with prostitutes, as if there is no one around. The monarch of Jinfei Kingdom himself was born in the battlefield, and he was the one who usurped the throne and sat on the dragon's throne. He worshiped martial arts and suppressed literature. In the temple, there would often be civil servants and high-ranking officials who would retreat home with bruises and bruises to recuperate.

Things that are unimaginable elsewhere are also commonplace in the eyes of the people of Jinfei Kingdom. The great scholar was sprayed with spittle, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites was full of sage doctrines that could not be explained by the general's big fist. They were just the talk after dinner.

Along the way, we encountered drizzle on the cliff plank road. The rain curtain was like a curtain, and the sound of rain was like the sound of bells in the breeze.

There was a woodcutter who came across an orchid in the mountains. It was dancing and seemed crazy.

Insects chirped late at night, the moonlight was like water washing green clothes, and beside the bonfire in the mountains, the firelight flickered.

The rainy season is about to enter.

On this day, Chen Pingan was walking slowly in the mountains outside a Jinfei Kingdom county. Tigers were infested here, so the chivalrous and powerful children of Jinfei Kingdom often came here to hunt. Chen Pingan had seen several groups of hunting warriors armed with swords and bows along the way. People came and went like a breeze, and most of them were young men. There were many young women among them, with heroic looks and proficient bows and horses. The older attendants, who looked like they were warriors on the battlefield.

A few days ago, Chen Pingan saw with his own eyes a group of disciples from the capital of the Golden Fei Kingdom. They gathered in a mountain temple to drink heavily and left random "calligraphy treasures" on the walls of the temple. One of them, a tall young man, directly carried the painted wood carving. He walked out of the temple gate, threw the statue out, and shouted that he wanted to compare his physical strength with the mountain god. In the distance of the temple, the mountain god and the earth god were hiding peacefully. They were speechless and sighed.

At dusk, Chen Ping'an did not enter the county town. Instead, he stayed away from the official road, climbed over the mountains and ridges, and walked roughly along a mountain path. Occasionally, he could see some figures. Most of them were strong and strong, and they should belong to the rivers and lakes. Lianjiazi. Chen Pingan, wearing a green shirt, was like a wisp of blue smoke in the mountain forest. After nightfall, the pedestrians on the path still did not hold up candles. Late at night, Chen Pingan suddenly stopped and stood on a towering tree, looking up into the distance. The top of a huge solitary peak surrounded by cliffs is brightly lit and densely packed with houses. Only an iron cable plank bridge connected to the mountain at the foot of Chen Ping'an can lead to the "town" on the top of the mountain. The mountain breeze at night If it blows by, the whole bridge will sway slightly.

It looks like a powerful Jianghu sect. Because the spiritual energy nearby is weak, it is only slightly better than the border line of Yinping Kingdom and Huaihuang Kingdom. It is not a feng shui treasure land suitable for Qi practitioners to practice.

Chen Pingan was sitting on a branch, chewing a piece of dry biscuit. The sword gourd had already been filled with more than ten kilograms of Lanfangguo wine. He didn't drink much along the way, but there was quite a lot left.

Chen Ping'an began to close his eyes and rest his mind. Even if it was a small refinement, the two dragon-slaying platforms were still making slow progress, and they still could not be completely refined along the way.

Unknowingly, the lights on the top of the mountain opposite gradually went out, and eventually there were only a few bright lights.

At dawn, Chen Pingan opened his eyes, put a carrying tablet talisman learned from Du Yu in Ghost Ax Palace on himself, and continued to practice.

On the way to the north, you can stop and go as you please. You only need to get to the Green Eagle Country in the east of Beiju Luzhou before autumn. The Green Eagle Country is the mouth of the Dadu River. The terrain of the central part of Beiju Luzhou is high in the center, and the east and west directions are continuously tilted towards the sea. The north is higher. The entire Beiju Luzhou, from the Bone Beach to the north, the general geographical situation rises like steps in sequence. The source of Dadu is in the north. There are more than a dozen rivers with huge water flow flowing into the Dadu river bed, creating a rare wonder that Dadu has two major estuaries.

After Chen Pingan thoroughly refined the two pieces of the Dragon Slaying Platform, he placed them in the two acupoints where "a tiny wisp of sword energy" once lingered. Feijian settled in them respectively on the first and fifteenth day of the month.

Every time the flying sword hits the dragon-slaying platform and the sparks caused by sharpening the sword's edge are scattered, Chen Ping'an's heart feels like a knife. This is also the fundamental reason why this road is not going fast. Chen Ping'an's small refining speed is comparable to that of the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. "Eating" the speed of Dragon Slaying Platform is the same. Waiting until they eat up the Dragon Slaying Platform is the first step. The next step is to refine the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month into natal objects. The process is destined to be dangerous and difficult.

But this feeling of returning to the down-and-out Mangosteen House to punch people made Chen Pingan feel particularly at ease.

On the bridge, the rumbling sounds of dung trucks were heard, and a large vegetable garden was opened up in the mountains on this side of the bridge. Then came a group of people going to fetch water from a distant mountain stream, followed by a small child breaking a willow tree, jumping up and down, with a small mock-up bucket dangling in his hand. In the small town on the top of the mountain, the shouts of warriors practicing fists, stakes, swords and spears suddenly rang out.

Living in the mountains, and not being a Taoist monk, is a bit troublesome after all. Those who had returned to the mountain town one after another in the latter half of the night were mostly packed up. During this period, some people were leading mules and horses carrying heavy objects across the bridge to return home.

Chen Ping'an planned to stay here for another two days, trying to use the Immortal Technique derived from the inscription on praying for rain in Biyou Palace to thoroughly refine the two dragon-slaying platforms, and then set off on his way.

Including the Jinfei Kingdom, there were more than a dozen countries north of Chunlu Pu, headed by the Da Zhuan Dynasty. Their martial arts were at their peak, and warriors were rampant, to the point where hundreds of warriors would join forces to besiege the Immortal Gate on the mountain.

On the vast territory, there is only one Nascent Soul in the Golden Scale Palace, which can barely avoid disasters. However, the disciples in the sect still need to be careful when going down the mountain to practice.

When Chen Ping'an first heard about this in Chunlu Pond, he also thought it was incredible. However, when he heard that one of the four ten-level warriors in Luzhou, Beiju, was from the Great Seal Dynasty, he understood a little bit.

Beiju Luzhou now has four Jiji warriors. The eldest one was originally a highly respected strong man under the mountain. He was close friends with several mountain sword immortals. For some reason, he became obsessed a few years ago and was captured by several monks in the fifth realm. It took a lot of effort to arrest him. After all, he couldn't let go and fight, lest he accidentally hurt the old martial artist's life. As a result, the old martial artist also seriously injured a Jade Pu Realm Taoist Immortal, and was temporarily detained. He was imprisoned in Tianjun Mansion, waiting for Tianjun Xie Shi to issue a decree after returning from Aquarius Continent.

The youngest one, just over 100 years old, is the chief priest of a sect's family in the north, and his wife is a female swordsman who has just entered the Yupu realm. In fact, there is a huge age gap between the two parties. The fact that they can come together is also the highlight of the story. many.

Then there is an extraterrestrial master named Gu Yun Yehe from the Great Seal Dynasty. For decades, the dragon has not seen its head or tail. There are different opinions. Some say that he died in a life-and-death fight with an old enemy, the Great Sword Immortal. It was just covered up by the Great Seal Dynasty. Well, some people say that they went to the Camellia Cave, trying to go against the grain and temper their bodies with spiritual energy, just like when they were young and beat the tide on the beach to strengthen their bodies, and then meet the Great Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain who had just broken through before Jiazi. A fight.

The latest one has a strange origin and has only a few strikes. Every time he strikes, almost no one will die under his punch. However, the Ancestral Hall that demolished two mountains is the mansion of the Immortal Family where Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator is stationed, so Bei Julu Only Zhou Shanshui Di Bao dared to assert that this person was another newly rising martial artist. It was said that this person had some relationship with Lion Peak, and his name should be a pseudonym, Li Er.

There is another eight-level martial artist in the Dazhuan Dynasty who is relatively easy to see. He is a female grandmaster and a swordsman. Now he serves as the personal retinue of Emperor Zhou of the Dazhuan Dynasty. However, this person's future is not promising, and he has already reached the end of his career after reaching the Far Traveling Realm. , this life is destined to be hopeless at the top of the mountain.

In short, here, martial arts warriors have the loudest voices and the hardest fists.

Chen Ping'an is really confused about the golden body warriors outside Luolu Mountain.

Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal who wanted to ask Senior Song about swordsmanship, was the first one.

The Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace was the second one to sneak punch at him.

On the ferry, the retinue surnamed Liao was the third one beside Wei Bai, the young master of Tiemou Mansion.

Chen Ping'an actually wanted to find a far-traveling warrior to spar with him. Unfortunately, Gao Cheng's clone on the ferry should be an eighth-level martial artist. However, the old swordsman with great momentum wiped his neck with his sword. Before his head fell to the ground, he said "the three Pima Sect Yupu realms are not worthy of this achievement", which is actually considered heroic.

Previously on a lake in Jinfei Kingdom, Chen Ping'an rented a small boat for fishing at night and watched a bloody fight from a distance.

It seemed to be a premeditated siege. First, an internal strife broke out on a boat parked in the middle of the lake. Dozens of people were divided into two groups with different weapons. Among them, more than ten were Jianghu people who could be considered the top masters of the Golden Fei Kingdom. They were warriors from the fifth and sixth realms. The two sides fought so hard that their arms and heads flew wildly. Then seven or eight large-scale warships from the Jin Fei Kingdom appeared, with lights hanging high. The light on the lake was as bright as day. They surrounded the earliest large-scale warship. First, dozens of them With the intensive firing of wheel-strength crossbows and strong bows, after the warriors from both sides of the fighting laid down dozens of corpses and the remaining people hid in the cabins, the military ship hit the ship hard with its racket. During this period, there were Jianghu who were injured. The master tried to break out of the siege, unwilling to sit back and wait for death, but just after he had escaped from the building, he was either forced back by a hail of bows and arrows, or was killed on the spot by an old eunuch wearing a python suit, or by a young female swordsman. Using sword energy to cut off the enemy, there was also a burly general wearing nectar armor, standing on the bottom of the ship, holding an iron spear, but did not take action at first.

Some martial arts masters who pretended to be injured and fell into the lake, and then tried to escape by holding their breath and diving, could not escape the disaster. There must have been monsters waiting for the opportunity under the water. Several martial arts masters were forced out of the water, and then were taken out by the burly military commander. A strong bow was used to shoot them one by one, and without exception, they were all shot through the head.

After the Jin Fei Kingdom's military warship approached, Chen Ping'an quietly drove away in a small boat.

The last scene left a deep impression on Chen Pingan.

The female swordsman stood on the bow of the boat and kept drawing out her sword. Whether it was a corpse floating on the water or an injured person who fell into the lake, she stabbed them away with a sword, filling them with a wisp of fierce sword energy.

It is estimated that not many of the boats in the center of the lake will survive in the end.

Those who survive are most likely internal agents of the imperial court.

Chen Ping'an finally saw three people walking onto the top floor of the warship and saluting the burly general wearing nectar armor with clasped fists.

Chen Pingan closed his eyes and continued practicing on the Dragon Slaying Platform.

When you really get involved in spiritual practice, you will find that the least valuable and most valuable things are time and years.

As for the Jianghu incident, Chen Pingan had no intention of taking action from beginning to end.

In the night, Chen Pingan breathed out a sigh of relief and looked up. A pair of young men and women appeared on the bridge. The woman was a pure martial artist with good foundation. She was about the third level. The man had an elegant appearance, more like a A Confucian scholar who is full of poems and books cannot be regarded as a true pure martial artist. The woman stood on the swaying iron rope and walked slowly. The young but slightly older man was worried. When they reached the bridge, the woman jumped down gently and was held by the man's hand. .

The two walked hand in hand along the mountain road, whispering and talking about everything.

It happened to be in the direction of Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an heard some inside stories about the temples and arenas of Jinfei Kingdom.

It turns out that there has been great unrest in the world in recent years. After the current monarch usurped the throne and ascended the throne, according to the unofficial history of the Jin Fei Kingdom, it is said that the first thing the emperor did when he sat on the dragon throne was to put a knife across his knees and then ordered someone to take care of him. Several relatives from the nine-family roster of the royal family and the jade certificate came to the main hall. According to the records on the genealogy, they opened the pages page by page. If they called out a name besides the late emperor and empress who had hanged themselves, a name would fall outside the main hall. With one head, he killed all the remnants of the previous dynasty. Outside the main hall, blood flowed into a river overnight, but in the end there was still one fish that slipped through the net. He was the youngest son of the previous emperor. He was taken away from the palace by the palace maid, and then he was loyal to the emperor. Under the escort arranged by Geng Geng's ministers, he luckily left the capital and went into exile in the world. He has not been heard from and has not been found so far. Therefore, over the years, there have often been some inexplicable massacres of families in the world, and most of them were from big sects. Even if Some of them clearly died in vendettas, but the local governments did not dare to pursue the case, for fear of accidentally crossing the thunder pond and touching the inverse scale of the one in the capital. The government is tied up, Jinfei Kingdom is a country that worships martial arts, and military generals from all over the country like to use the heads of groups of Jianghu people to practice martial arts and train soldiers under the guise of suppressing bandits and killing bandits. Naturally, serious Jianghu people with families and businesses are miserable. .

It is not a problem for the world to continue to be in such chaos, so more than a dozen famous figures and martial arts masters from the Golden Fei Kingdom, as well as seven or eight demon lords who were originally equally powerful, all temporarily put aside their prejudices and planned to meet in private to hold a meeting. Of course, the banquet was not to rebel, but rather to let the emperor sleep uneasily and cause chaos in the government and the public, it would be better for everyone to do their best to help the emperor dig three feet into the ground and clear the entire already turbid palace. The rivers and lakes are turned upside down, trying to find the prince of the former dynasty who died long ago. Once this person dies, the emperor will definitely be overjoyed. The chaotic situation in the rivers and lakes should be improved a little, so that heroes from all walks of life can breathe. tone.

Young men and women are worried when they talk about these blood-spattered swords and swords.

Because the sect they belong to is called Zhengrong Sect, which is the top martial arts force in Jinfei Kingdom. According to the classification of martial arts people, there are nearly a hundred well-documented martial arts sects large and small. There is a dividing line. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the world is divided into old and new. The new sects often rely on relatives in the capital or the forces of vassal towns, while the old sects are struggling to survive. The Zhengrong Sect naturally belongs to Lao Jianghu, and the woman's father is one of the four righteous masters.

But the latest news she got was that the banquet location had finally been decided. It was in the middle of a large lake, and the great masters of both good and evil had no chance to interfere.

Naturally, both black and white are unwilling to go to the other side's territory to discuss matters. God knows whether they will be blamed by the other side. The righteous people think that those in the evil way are cruel and wantonly, while the gangsters think that the so-called chivalrous people are sanctimonious and a group of male thieves and female prostitutes. Hypocrites are worse than them.

But apart from the frowning and worrying worries, the people in front of me under the moon are all the people they like, the world is silent, and there is no one around. Naturally, I can't help myself, so I make some flirting moves.

Previously, the woman was holding a branch. During the walking process, she punched with one hand and shook a few fancy sword flowers with the other hand.

Chen Pingan sighed softly. The master of this Zhengrong Sect should be one of the three martial arts masters who survived on the lake. The way he punched was somewhat similar to that of the woman under the tree. He had a soft sword wrapped around his waist. After drawing the sword, he wraps his neck and cuts his head. The swordsmanship is very feminine and strange.

The men and women cuddled up to each other, and the movements of their hands were a little charming.

If that's all, that's it. Chen Ping'an can just close his eyes and practice, but he's afraid that the man and woman will be in love for a while, and the thunder from the sky will stir up the fire on the earth.

Really afraid of what might happen, the man and woman walked around behind the tree, and the woman said she wanted to find a place in the tree with rich shade, which would be more secluded, otherwise he would not be allowed to do anything.

The man smiled and agreed, and the young woman grabbed her lover's shoulders and wanted to jump on him.

Chen Ping'an, who had a carrying tablet talisman on his body, looked around and flicked his finger, causing a stone to shatter gently in the grass under the tree.

The man and woman were startled and quickly turned around to look.

Chen Pingan stood up and walked away.

Okay, okay, I'll give you the territory.

Chen Ping'an went to a higher place on the mountain and continued his small practice at the Dragon Slaying Platform.

However, after the man and woman were frightened, they remained gentle for a moment and quickly hurried back to the rope bridge, because lights were lit up and down the towering doors, making it all white.

Then they rushed to the door, as if they wanted to greet the distinguished guests.
