Chapter 380 A sword is missing!
This face change is indeed faster than flipping a book.
Relying on his identity, Zhao Xituan glanced at Xu Fengnian, Zhou Ji, and Jiang Ni, forgiving that these juniors would not be able to hurt him, and walked towards the house with a whisk.
Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled, watched Zhao Tianshi enter the room, turned to look at Zhou Ji and said, "If I have a conflict with the people in Longhu Mountain, will you help me?"
"Need to say?" Zhou Ji smiled, "Of course I'm watching a play while hiding~"
"." Hearing the first half of the sentence, a confident smile appeared on Xu Fengnian's face. After listening to the second half of the sentence, the smile became a little stiff, and he nodded with his lips pursed. And me?"
"I don't think he has any malice towards you, and he won't kill you." Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, and walked into the house.
"Hey~! Who are you with?" Xu Fengnian looked at Zhou Ji's back as he walked away, and hurriedly followed.
Entering the wooden house, Zhao Xituan was still looking at the layout of the house, Xu Fengnian signaled Jiang Ni to close the doors and windows, touched the Chunlei Xiudong on his waist, with a smile on his face, and held the handle of the knife with both hands: "The humble house is a little rough, the heavens Master, don't be surprised."
At the end of the sentence, the voice suddenly became heavier. Just as the clang sound of the blade being unsheathed sounded, it was pushed back into the sheath by a skinny palm full of wrinkles.
Xu Fengnian was startled, and subconsciously looked at Zhou Ji, only to see him sitting at the table contentedly, playing with the stone beads in his hand, while teasing Si Teng on the table, as if he didn't notice the movement here at all.
Jiang Ni didn't care about being afraid at the moment, and hurriedly let out a light cough, trying to attract Zhou Ji's attention.
Zhao Xituan glanced at the little maid who was about to cough, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't panic, and don't misunderstand. The purpose of Pindao's visit this time is to bring the little prince back to Longhu Mountain."
"That's not a misunderstanding!"
Xu Fengnian's complexion was gloomy, and his eyes showed a cold light. The true qi that had been practiced for half a year circulated along the meridians and circulated around his body. His figure moved behind Zhao Xituan like a ghost, and the two knives were unsheathed again. Zhao Xituan of the Four Heavenly Masters of Tiger finally showed a look of surprise.
It is rumored in the world that Xu Fengnian, the eldest son of Beiliang, is ignorant and incompetent, and is the number one dude in Liyang Dynasty. Before Zhao Xituan came here, he didn't expect Xu Fengnian to be a martial artist, and his inner strength is quite mysterious, so he can't see the truth.
"The exercises practiced by the son are strange. They seem to come from the Taoist sect, but they are different from the common exercises in the world."
Zhao Xituan swept the dust with his whisk, and stretched out his hand to form a blue palm shadow, forcing Xu Fengnian back a few steps.
Xu Fengnian retreated again and again, facing the pressure of the turbulent palm wind, he could only stand against the wall, struggling to support.
You practice martial arts and cultivate immortality, can it be the same?
Zhou Ji laughed lightly when he heard the words, and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xituan. His plain and somewhat alienated eyes made this Tianshi Zhao tremble suddenly, as if an extremely dangerous premonition flashed through his mind.
In a daze, he seemed to think of the ancestor who had been in retreat for many years in Longhu Mountain, and shook his head. The ancestor of Longhu had lived for hundreds of years. It was so gloomy at that time.
Zhou Ji pointed at the sword and swiped forward lightly. The cyan palm print instantly shattered, and the palm wind that almost crushed Xu Fengnian dissipated. With Jiang Ni's support, she straightened up, panting heavily.
The sword pointed at Zhao Xituan, Zhao Xituan raised his eyebrows, and realized that something was wrong, the air around him seemed to be frozen, the sudden coercion made his body heavy, and his true energy could not function normally, even lifting a finger was quite laborious.
In any martial arts confrontation, the inferior ones compete with fists and kicks, and you come and go; the middle-ranked ones compete with speed and strategy, and there should be no carelessness; the superior ones compare with spiritual cultivation, killing people invisible.
Zhou Ji's spirit may not be as good as that of a descendant of Nuwa like Zixuan, but compared to an ordinary person like Zhao Xituan who has not yet grasped the mystery of his spirit, he is invincible.
Beads of sweat were covered on his forehead, Zhao Xituan swung the dust whisk suddenly, and took a hard step forward, pointing to the full force of the Profound Realm, as if the mountain torrent that had accumulated for many days broke through the dam, and let it all go in the direction of Zhou Ji.
The invisible air wave instantly pushed Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni away a few steps, and all the tables, chairs, and floors were cracked along the way, but they rushed to Zhou Ji like a hundred rivers from east to sea, without any echo.
What kind of monster is this? celestial phenomenon? Land fairy?
With just one move, Zhao Xituan felt the unfathomableness of the person in front of him. His trip was not for fighting, and even if he wanted to fight, he was on behalf of Longhushan to find Wang Chonglou for an orthodox dispute.
"Your Excellency misunderstood, really misunderstood."
Zhao Xituan showed a wry smile on his face, and while dredging his inner qi, he opened his mouth to explain.
However, before the words fell, Zhou Ji swiped his fingertips, and a stronger coercion enveloped Zhao Xituan again.
As the coercion continued to increase, Zhao Xituan seemed to be facing the situation Xu Fengnian was in just now. At the beginning, he broke free with all his strength, but now he can barely maintain the face of the celestial master despite his old life. Kneel down in front of the crowd.
Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni were standing by the wall, their pale faces had returned to normal, looking at Zhao Xituan who was standing motionless, they thought they had been caught just like the fish young Wei in Zijin Building, and said in surprise, "A celestial master can also Hold on?"
Zhou Ji shook his head and said, "Tutting the pulse and pressing acupuncture points can only be aimed at masters below the first rank. This Zhao Tianshi is between the Vajra Realm and the Zhixuan Realm, so he can't do it."
"Then what are you?" Xu Fengnian tried to reach forward and found that there was no aura barrier, so he walked towards Zhao Xituan with confidence, "It doesn't matter, so he can't move now, right?"
After receiving Zhou Ji's affirmative answer, Xu Fengnian sneered, raised his two sabers and gestured towards Zhao Xituan.
Zhao Xituan became anxious when he saw this, and burst out all the true energy in his body. When the blade was approaching, he forced his mouth and said, "Jian Jiuhuang asked me to come!"
"Old Huang?!"
Xu Fengnian quickly retracted his sword and looked at Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji nodded slightly, retracted his sword fingers and lifted the blockade of Zhao Xituan's energy.
Xu Fengnian hurriedly asked, "Old Huang asked you to take Huang Man'er to Longhu Mountain?"
Zhao Xituan glanced at Zhou Ji with lingering fear, and flung the whisk in his arms, showing a lot of humility.
"Jian Jiuhuang knew that the son was in trouble, so after leaving Beiliang, he deliberately came to Longhu Mountain first, hoping that the poor can accept the young prince as his apprentice. Only in this way can the young prince be safe."
Xu Fengnian frowned slightly, and turned his head around.
Zhao Xituan said sincerely: "The ancestral mentality of the poor Taoist lineage has strict requirements on the successors. You must be deeply surprised to pass on the mantle. The reason why Jian Jiuhuang entrusted the little prince to the poor Taoist is because the poor Taoist sincerely accepts disciples. .”
"Indeed." Zhou Jiwen said with a smile: "For the sect, the inheritance of orthodoxy is more important than life and death. I think Zhao Tianshi's words are true. If you want to keep Huang Man'er's fundamental aptitude, this is a good choice. .”
Xu Fengnian hesitated and said: "Right now the capital and the royal family are staring at my brother, you can't even beat Lao Zhou with a single finger, can you really protect Huang Man'er?"
Zhou Ji gave Xu Fengnian a glance, piercing his small thoughts, "It's your business that you don't want him to take Huang Man'er away, don't push it on me for any reason."
Zhao Xituan was stunned, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my son, the poor Taoist will protect him well by accepting the young prince as his disciple. Jian Jiuhuang came to Longhu Mountain to make a deal for this purpose."
"What deal?" Xu Fengnian's face changed slightly, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
Zhao Xituan glanced left and right, hesitated and said: "This matter involves the royal family, and it is top secret. The poor can only tell you."
"Zhou Ji is my friend, Jiang Ni is my personal maid, they can all stay." Xu Fengnian held Jiang Ni's wrist, looked at Zhao Xituan and said.
Jiang Ni said expressionlessly, "With my identity, you think I'm not dying fast enough to hear Li Yangchao's secret?"
For Zhou Ji, there is no difference between inside and outside the house, so he smiled without saying a word, picked up the flower pot, got up and left the room.
Seeing Zhou Ji leaving the table in a hurry, Zhao Xituan breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing this existence that was more terrifying than the Dragon and Tiger Patriarch, Zhao Xituan seemed to look normal, but he was actually tensing up all the time, paying attention to this person's movements.
"Your Majesty, do you know why Longhushan can be named the number one sect in the world?"
Jiang Ni went back to the courtyard to play with her small vegetable garden, Zhou Ji took the flowerpot and walked outside the fence, looking at Jiang Ni's busy figure, showing surprise from time to time.
Dig a hole, bury some soil, and there is no one, two, three, four, five, what's so surprising?
Jiang Ni didn't know why, so she turned her head and glared at Zhou Ji. Seeing the flower pot Zhou Ji was holding, her fierce expression suddenly became docile, and she turned around and dutifully dug the ground without daring to make a sound.
Hearing Zhao Xituan say that there is an old ancestor of the Liyang royal family hiding on Longhu Mountain, Zhou Ji was stunned, and then heard that this person was seeking the ultimate in martial arts and the highest in the world, but he didn't dare to go to Wang Xianzhi, so he agreed to Lao Huang's offer. Conditions, taking advantage of Jian Jiuhuang's opportunity to challenge Wang Xianzhi to explore Wang Xianzhi's reality, Xu Fengnian also chose to believe in Zhao Xituan.
After a while, a familiar figure ran from the direction of the purple bamboo forest, squeezed through the crowd and saw Zhou Ji and Jiang Ni in the vegetable garden coming forward to say hello, and hurriedly asked, "Where is my brother?"
"It's in the house."
Zhou Ji pointed to the wooden house behind him, Xu Longxiang blew past like a gust of wind, pushed open the door and said, "Brother, I will go back to Longhu Mountain with the old Taoist."
"Nonsense!" Xu Fengnian subconsciously refuted Xu Longxiang. In the end, Xu Longxiang spoke in a firm tone, and said sadly with flushed eyes, "Why are you so stupid?"
Zhou Ji sighed softly, looked at the people who came out of the room together, looked at Xu Fengnian and said, "Has it been decided yet?"
"It's decided." Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice, "Lao Huang's trip to Longhu Mountain is to find a third way for me. I don't want to be someone like Xu Xiao, but I still want to take over Beiliang. That's the only way. Only then can the eldest sister, second sister and Huang Man'er go home."
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "For the sake of my own little family, the reason for taking over Beiliang Sanzhou sounds very touching, but it is far from enough."
"What's not enough?" Xu Fengnian said angrily, "Xu Xiao tried his best to force me to take over Beiliang for so many years, and I agreed, so that's not enough?"
Now is not the time to talk about these things, Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni sent Xu Longxiang outside the gate of Wudang Mountain and watched the crowd go away, but another disciple of Longhu Mountain came on horseback and handed Zhao Xituan a roll of documents.
Zhao Xituan turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian, and rushed towards the three of them with the documents, his face was heavy, and he didn't know how to speak.
"What happened?" Xu Fengnian asked curiously.
"The news I just got" Zhao Xituan grabbed the document in his hand and handed it to Xu Fengnian.
"Lao Huang is dead"
Xu Fengnian unfolded the document in a trance, not knowing how he got back to the mountain.
Zhou Ji saw Xu Fengnian's distraught figure from a distance, and stopped the two of them in doubt. Jiang Ni was also a little depressed, and said softly with a complicated expression.
died?
how come?
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, put the stone beads in his hand into his sleeve, took the document in Xu Fengnian's hand, and found that it recorded all the details of Lao Huang's journey to Wudi City to fight Wang Xianzhi.
From entering the city to eat a few plates of peanuts and drink a few jugs of wine to the fight between Jian Jiuhuang and Wang Xianzhi, the whole process was broadcast live, but nothing was broadcast.
Zhou Ji flipped through it several times, shook his head, and threw the document back into Xu Fengnian's arms.
"There is a problem with this paperwork."
Xu Fengnian raised his head in a daze, his expression still somewhat dazed.
Zhou Ji reached out and picked up a drop of cold dew from the bamboo forest, and it bounced between Xu Fengnian's eyebrows.
Stimulated by the dew, Xu Fengnian's eyes recovered a little, and Zhou Ji raised his chin, motioning him to read the records on the document again.
Xu Fengnian read it countless times along the way, and looking at it now, his heart is filled with endless sadness and sadness.
Zhou Ji said helplessly: "How many swords are in Lao Huang's sword case?"
"Originally there were six of them. Thirty years ago, Lao Huang left Huanglu on the head of Emperor Wudi's city, and there was only one left in the box." Xu Fengnian's voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes darkened again.
Jiang Ni looked at him from the side, as if seeing Xu Fengnian when his mother had just passed away, feeling extremely distressed but didn't know how to comfort him.
"Wait!" Xu Fengnian's rickety body straightened up suddenly, and he quickly flipped through the documents in his hand as if he was looking for something.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Ni bent down to pick up the fallen pages, and looked at Xu Fengnian worriedly, thinking that he had been stimulated by something.
"There is one more, there should be another one!" Xu Fengnian found the process of Jian Jiuhuang and Wang Xianzhi fighting, and found that only five swords were released in Jian Jiuhuang's box, but he still did not find information about the sixth sword.
Obviously when I first saw Lao Huang’s box there was a sword that was transparent and flickering with lightning, why was there no record in the document?
Xu Fengnian raised his head to look at Zhou Ji, his gaze was like a torch, and he said anxiously: "Before Lao Huang left, there were six swords in the box, besides the original five, there is one that you gave him."
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that he was going to challenge Wang Xianzhi. Although I didn't know Wang Xianzhi's cultivation level, I knew that Lao Huang's realm was not enough to challenge the so-called number two in the world, so I sealed up a ray of immortal sword intent and sent it to him." Yu Jian Jiuhuang, let alone the outcome, at least he can save his life."
