Chapter 422 Sword Comes
The mountain behind the dragon and the tiger, in front of the clear water pool.
A middle-aged Taoist priest who couldn't tell the age was sitting cross-legged beside a small pool, with a focused expression and a green bamboo fishing rod in his hand.
The long line of bamboo poles sank into the pool. I don’t know how deep the water is. The whole figure seems to blend into this quiet and peaceful landscape, and the vegetation next to it is swaying faintly and full of greenery.
Following a burst of dull and chaotic footsteps, the soft sound of armor touching broke the original peace and tranquility of this place. Zhao Kai jumped off the red armor from the stone bridge with the only remaining sentence, stepping on a few blocks between the streams. Qingshi came to Zhao Huangchao's side.
"Senior, Xu Fengnian has gone up the mountain!"
Zhao Kai's hasty voice echoed around the pool, causing a shallow ripple on the water surface, but the slender and silky fishing line could not be shaken.
Zhao Huangchao closed his eyes slightly, opened them slowly, and said in a calm tone that had never been seen before, "Who is accompanying?"
"Li Chungang and Zhou Ji are here." Zhao Kai's face was heavy, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Well" Zhao Huangchao thought for a while, and said flatly: "Don't panic, just go and attract him."
"Zhao Danping has been thinking about Xu Fengnian when he returned to the mountain this time. Li Chungang fell into the astronomical phenomena, so I asked him to delay for a while. As for the old man Zhou Ji, he wanted to meet this new astronomical master."
Facing the calm and confident exhortation of this royal senior, Zhao Kai bowed his hands and bowed, showing hesitation.
"Senior, then Xu Fengnian is in charge of the Great Yellow Court. Although Master Zhao Danping and the senior restrain Li Chungang and Zhou Ji, but with the methods of the younger generation, I am afraid it will happen in a short time"
Zhao Kai said half of what he said, but the meaning was already clear.
Back when Xu Fengnian was practicing Da Huang Ting, Zhao Kai had five red armored generals to help him, and he could easily ambush him as long as he found a single opportunity.
Now Xu Fengnian's Dahuang Ting has refined half of it, and its strength is close to the first rank; while the red armor given to him by his master has only a pair of gold armor left.
Inside the golden armor is a living dead who is in the diamond state. Zhao Kai believes that Xu Fengnian is definitely not an opponent of the golden armor, but he is afraid that Xu Fengnian is not what he used to be, so he wants to ask Zhao Huangchao for help.
Like some kind of magical weapon, mysterious technique, or hidden weapon, as this ancestor who has been fishing for dragons and tigers for decades, maybe he can give you some treasures comparable to the red armor of Fujiang.
The fishing rod swayed slightly, Zhao Huangchao turned his eyes and gave him a sideways glance, his calm and indifferent eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts.
However, what Zhao Kai said is not unreasonable.
Even if Li Chungang fell into the sky, he was a land **** after all before, and Zhao Danping had great ambitions, but it was hard to match.
And Zhao Huangchao himself suffered internal injuries due to his fight with Wang Xianzhi back then, so he needed to fish salamanders here to heal his injuries.
Once the delay is too long and Li Chungang frees up his hand to save Xu Fengnian, this calculation will come to naught.
Zhao Huangchao was silent for a moment, then looked up into the depths of the dense forest in the back mountain.
They are all members of the Zhao family of the Liyang royal family. I can’t be the only one working hard for the continuation of the country, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Huangchao had a clear mind, and said calmly: "You just need to lure Xu Fengnian to the back mountain, and someone will take action to kill him."
Zhao Kai noticed the change in Zhao Huangchao's expression. Following his line of sight, there seemed to be a hall looming in the depths of the mountain forest. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked suddenly, "Is there still an ancestor of the royal family on Longhu Mountain?"
Zhao Huangchao finally showed a smile, closed his eyes slightly, turned around and continued fishing.
Zhao Kai originally wanted to ask about the ancestor's name, but seeing that Zhao Huangchao was unwilling to answer, he respectfully saluted again and stepped back slowly.
Although there is no treasure to come, a royal ancestor personally shot it.
Now I can finally kill my brother-in-law~!
Zhao Kai brushed the bangs hanging from his forehead, and a naive and simple smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The long ladder has an end.
Longhu Mountain is worthy of the number one sect in the world. The Temple of Heavenly Master is built on the main peak, occupying a huge area and showing extraordinary momentum.
It's just that the exuberant incense lingering in green smoke is missing, and only the piercing murderous air is left, filling the entire vestibule of Tianshi Mansion.
The three of them stepped over the threshold, and the heads protruding from the top of the wall and behind the fence shrank back. It's a pity that no matter how much they hide themselves, they can't cover up the eerie silence in Nuoda's courtyard.
Zhou Ji glanced around, his eyes full of disgust.
Is this trying to deal with myself and Li Chungang with crowd tactics?
It's too child's play.
Two figures of Taoists walked out of the Jade Emperor's Palace. The leader was holding a saber, looking upright; behind him came out Zhao Xituan with a troubled face.
Xu Fengnian embraced his two thighs, one left and one right, and he was happy and fearless in such a dangerous situation. He raised his head to look at Zhao Xituan above the cloud steps, and said loudly: "Old Tianshi, let me introduce you."
Zhao Xituan saw Xu Fengnian's confident appearance, and couldn't help but glance at Li Chungang and Zhou Ji, and his already restless heart became more and more flustered.
Originally wanted to turn hostility into friendship, to see if he could mediate the dispute, Zhao Xituan stretched out his hand to introduce, but saw Zhao Danping clasped his hand with a sword in his hand, and said proudly: "Zhao Danping met Senior Li."
"Qing Ci Bachelor Zhao Danping Zhao Daochang, why are you back? Is it because you are not happy in the capital?"
Zhao Danping ignored Xu Fengnian's teasing at all, as if he didn't take him seriously.
In his opinion, Xu Fengnian is nothing more than the fish of a fox pretending to be a tiger. As long as he solves Li Chungang and Zhou Ji, two masters of the astronomical realm, he can let him go.
So Zhao Danping didn't even look at Xu Fengnian, but set his eyes on Li Chungang, looked down and said: "Li Jianshen shook the world with his sword back then, and his wanton freedom and ease made people fascinated. Can I ask the sword **** to come forward and give me some advice?"
Li Chungang picked his nose and squinted at Zhao Danping. He didn't know where this guy got the confidence to provoke himself with this level of cultivation.
Out of the corner of his vision, Xu Fengnian suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing across the corner of the courtyard. The black cloak was particularly eye-catching among the light blue Taoist robes.
The bamboo hat was lowered to cover his face, but Xu Fengnian's eyes suddenly became serious when he took out a book from under the cloak.
With his current cultivation level, his true energy gathers the meridians of his eyes, and he can recognize the word "Wu Su" on the book at a glance. In addition, the text style of the book is very similar to the one sent in the wooden box that day, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but turn around. Looking at Zhou Ji, he said in a deep voice, "Surely that person is Zhao Kai?"
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and said with a sneer: "The purpose of revealing your body on purpose is to lure the enemy to go deep with the cause of your mother's death, and take advantage of Zhao Danping's delay of Li Chungang's opportunity to lure you to the back mountain."
"If he wants to seduce, then go!" Xu Fengnian's face sank like water, and he chased Zhao Kai in the direction where he was escaping.
As a scholar of Qingci, he is arrogant but not stupid. The reputation of Zhou Jitian Xiangjing in Luweidang World War I has spread all over the world. It is enough to bully Li Chungang, who broke his arm with a broken sword. Hit two?
The mountain road is covered with moss, and the path is deep and difficult to walk.
Zhou Ji hangs far behind Zhao Kai, wanting to see where he leads him.
Crossing a stone bridge, the eyes suddenly opened up. Zhou Ji paused, and looked at a deep pool upstream of the stream. His eyes fell on Zhao Huangchao, who was fishing with a bamboo pole. His figure flickered and appeared by the pool in a stream of light. He reached out and picked up a few vermilion wild fruits from the small bamboo cage next to him, looked around and asked, "Is this edible?"
"Jiao salamanders like to eat." Zhao Huangchao said calmly.
Zhou Ji glanced under the water, wiped the vermilion fruit on his hand and handed it to the vine in the flowerpot, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are not the kind of fishing with an empty hook. When I come over, what are you talking about?" Fished the 'trickster."
"Otherwise, I'd like to throw you on the leash and go fishing." Zhou Ji smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
As early as when he entered Xu Fengnian's dream, Zhou Ji had marked the mind and soul fluctuations of the person who shot, so he confirmed the identity of the other party from the very beginning.
Zhao Huangchao said calmly: "Young people are too young and energetic, aren't you worried about Xu Fengnian's safety?"
"Zhao Kai and that red armor alone can't kill him." Zhou Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Compared to this, I am more concerned about one thing. What's the matter with the way you lure people into dreams? "
Zhao Huangchao said indifferently: "If you are curious, you just need to go fishing with Pindao for an hour, and then Pindao will tell you the secrets?"
Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, do you think that Zhao Danping can last for an hour, or that Xu Fengnian can't last for an hour? Or... this fantasy maze can trap me?"
The bamboo pole shook slightly, but the fishing line remained motionless.
The plainness in Zhao Huangchao's eyes finally changed a little.
In a trance, the light and shadow around seemed to be stretched, distorted and shattered by something.
Shanshui is still a landscape, and a stream is still a stream.
Standing on the moss-covered stone bridge, Zhou Ji turned around to look at a deep pool upstream of the stream, his eyes fell on Zhao Huangchao who was fishing with a bamboo pole, and said regretfully: "Such tricks of dreaming and bewitching the mind are too weak. Use the other party's thoughts and thoughts as a guide to lure people into dreams, and you can easily break free with only a diamond-level cultivation, no wonder you may have a land-based fairyland cultivation base, and your strength is not as good as some celestial phenomena."
"Are you trying to trick me?!"
The illusion was forcibly broken, and Zhao Huangchao felt as if his soul had been torn into pieces. The severe pain from the Lingtai Consciousness Sea continued to wash away his consciousness, and finally a pale face spurted out a mouthful of blood, embellishing the originally calm water surface that had been fishing for decades. Blossoming bright red flowers.
The bamboo pole slipped from his hands and hung obliquely on the bluestone by the pool. Suddenly, as if being dragged by something underwater, he was pulled into the pool with a whoosh. Ripples spread around.
Zhao Huangchao lay in front of the pool and stretched out his hand to catch it, but unfortunately the bamboo pole floated up again, and the silk thread and bait were gone.
After decades of fishing, he was trying to heal his wounds by catching jiao salamanders, but now he has failed. Coupled with Zhou Ji's ridicule, he couldn't hide his killing intent, and he stretched out his hand to grab the bamboo pole, as if holding a supreme sword.
The tip of the sword stirred gently on the surface of the pool, as if the wind was surging, and a huge vortex several feet high was pulled out from the secluded pool, and flew towards Zhou Ji.
at the same time.
Longhushan vestibule, Tianshi Mansion.
A sound of 'sword coming' resounded through the heaven and earth.
Dragon and Tiger's front court, back mountain, peaks, various temples, and thousands of swords were all out of their sheaths, and they flew to the front of the Jade Emperor's Palace in a mighty way, as if covering the sky and covering the sun.
Zhao Danping was completely dumbfounded at the moment.
The densely packed swords pointed at him, the nearest of which was the sword Ling Xiao that he was holding in his hand and hadn't been unsheathed yet.
"Misunderstanding. Senior misunderstood." Zhao Danping stretched out his hand to push the sword Ling Xiao on his forehead, but felt that it was dangerous, so he couldn't help but retract his fingers embarrassingly, and said from his heart: "Poverty is just curious about the current state of senior. I just tried it a little bit, and I hope the seniors will forgive me."
"The celestial masters of this generation are truly amazing." Li Chungang sneered with disdain, but Zhao Danping had the cheek to return respectfully, "Senior praise."
Li Chungang was too lazy to argue with him, and said impatiently, "Then don't fight?"
"No more fights, no more fights" Zhao Danping thought to himself that he had been delaying for so long, only Xu Fengnian, and the guy fishing in the back mountain should have succeeded, so he apologized and said, "Senior, please go~ please go~~"
Li Chungang picked his nose and planned to go to the back mountain to find Xu Fengnian and the others. He had just walked two steps when Zhao Danping stopped him again.
"Senior, these swords?" Zhao Danping tentatively asked.
Li Chungang waved his sword, and amidst a crackling sound, thousands of swords fell down. Before Zhao Danping bent down to pick up his Lingxiao sword, suddenly another change occurred.
"The sword is coming!"
A long and ethereal voice came from the direction of the back mountain.
The swords scattered all over the ground soared into the sky again, looking from a distance, it seemed that even in the direction of Huishan Mountain on the other side of the Shejiang River, there was a torrent of long swords converging, and this wave on Longhu Mountain, covering the sky. The sun flew towards the back mountain.
"Senior" Zhao Danping was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the direction Ling Xiaofei was leaving, and looked at Li Chungang with a mournful face.
"This has nothing to do with me?"
Li Chungang was also a little absent-minded, Zhao Danping and the others were low-level, and only saw someone using a flying sword, but in his eyes.
Longhu Houshan, it seems that there is a sword shadow piercing the sky between reality and illusion, which makes his sword heart confused.
Li Chungang closed his eyes and opened them again, the shadow of the sword piercing the sky and the earth was gone, and the forest of swords covering the sky and the sun was suspended in the back mountain forest, surrounding Zhao Huangchao who was holding a bamboo pole.
The vortex of sword energy that was stirred out of the water just now had already been dispersed by the flying sword, and the cold light was cold now. Except for the mossy boulders under the feet, the front, back, left, and right sides, the body was covered with dense sword edges.
Looked down at the bamboo pole that was still dripping in his hand.
Any plant, tree, bamboo or rock can be used as a sword.
What is better without a sword than with a sword.
Zhao Huangchao has no doubt that as long as the other party moves his mind, he will be swallowed by these real sword rains in an instant, and he will be dressed like a hedgehog.
Appearance of longevity.
Xu Fengnian and Zhao Kai, who were confronting each other in front of the stone steps, also noticed the rain of swords all over the sky, including the rebuilt epee in Jin Jia's hand, and they could only stand by with empty hands.
However, what the two of them didn't notice was that the door of the Temple of Longevity opened at the same time as the sound of "Sword Coming", a little foot that had just stepped out of the threshold and hadn't touched the ground quietly shrank back
