Wait a minute, heroine

The waves hit the sea cliffs and rocks, the patter of rain and the sea breeze fell on the top of the pavilion, and bursts of faint flute sounds came from the pavilion:

"Woo~~Woo..."

Qiu Tianhe stood facing the wind with a two-foot bamboo flute in his hand. His complexion looked much better than when he was in the black prison dungeon, and his hair had returned to jet black. He looked like an experienced uncle in his early forties. .

There is a black monument standing in the stone pavilion. The little girl, who is not taller than Qiu Tianhe's waist, wears braids and looks up at the writing on the monument, reading word by word:

"The sky is high and the sky is high... Who knows? I can see the universe at once... sunrise... sunrise..."

"Fuso."

"The sun rises and the hibiscus is as red as fire... Haimen goes east and the water reaches the sky... Master, who wrote this?"

Qiu Tianhe put down his bamboo flute and looked back at the time-honored stone tablet. Although he was tall and broad-eyed, his expression was quite kind:

"It was written by a martial arts hero three hundred years ago. It's very powerful."

"More powerful than master and father?"

"That's natural. If you don't have an unparalleled spirit, how can you write 'Who is the same in the sky and the vastness?'"

"How about compared with Grandpa Fengguancheng?"

"Hmm... It's hard to say this. I don't think I can bear the three slaps from Feng Lao Shenxian..."

"Oh, that's indeed better than Master. Master didn't even catch a slap and flew for more than half a mile..."

"..."

Qiu Tianhe's expression froze, but faced with Wuji's childish words, he couldn't find any words to refute.

After the last incident at Junshan Terrace, he thought that his position as the swordsman leader was far away. He originally wanted to live in seclusion in Huangquan Town for a few years, be a happy-go-lucky fisherman on the Hanjiang River, and live an ordinary life that had nothing to do with the rivers and lakes.

But even though he had high expectations for Ye Jingtang, he still underestimated the speed of this kid's takeoff. After defeating the Xuanyuan Dynasty, it seemed that he had opened up the Rendu and Du lines, and he swept from Wuzhou to the West Sea, and then from the West Sea Sweeping back to Yunan, the new year has not passed, and there are already signs of pointing the sword at the three immortals on the mountain.

Once he became the Martial Saint, he jumped out of the worldly circles, and titles such as Sword Leader, Spear Leader, etc. were naturally available. Qiu Tianhe relied on his former reputation as a knight, and it was almost inevitable that he would take this title.

But swordsmen always have arrogance. The position of Wu Kui was given up only after the juniors no longer needed it. He shamelessly took it, which always seemed a bit shameful and unworthy of the position of Wu Kui.

For this reason, Qiu Tianhe was ready to start again and find a place to improve his performance, so as not to fall on his head and be criticized by people in the world.

There are really not many Wu Kui of the Wei Dynasty who have survived, and they may not be able to defeat them if they encounter them. The only place in the world where they can achieve a record of serving the masses without being crippled is the official city of Tiannan.

Guancheng is the last peak in the hearts of warriors in the world. Qiu Tianhe has also looked up to it, but Wukui has not climbed this mountain, so naturally he does not dare to disturb it.

But now he couldn't go up or down, so he had no choice but to go. For this reason, Qiu Tianhe left for a trip together with Xuanyuan Tiangang and his wife, who didn't want to return to Junshantai to inherit the family business and were hiding from their family everywhere.

There were so many warriors from all walks of life who went to Guancheng for pilgrimage, none of them were at the level of a master, and they couldn't even pass the gatekeeper's apprenticeship. However, Qiu Tianhe, as the candidate sword master, went in smoothly, and saw the "No. 1 in the world" alive. .

At that time, we were also at the beach. An old man who looked no older than sixty years old was sitting alone on a rock fishing, with the endless sea in front of him and thousands of miles of mountains behind him. His back looked like the giant pillar of this world. When he is present, all living beings will have no worries; when he is gone, demons and evil spirits will arise, and the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse.

Of course, this is just Qiu Tianhe's own feeling. After all, in the hearts of all Jianghu people, Fengguan City is the anchor of this Jianghu.

Today's world is not a good place, but the martial saints of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are more low-key and humble than any other heroes of the same level in history. The reason is not that the contemporary martial saints are more virtuous and are not interested in doing whatever they want, but that they have people on their heads.

With someone above your head, you will naturally have bottom lines and concerns when acting, and you will also have the ambition to move up the ladder.

Although Fengguan City has never entered the world, if there were not such a person in the world, the North and South Jianghu would be divided by six martial saints who came to the end. The scene at that time may be like a leaderless court. It is said that evil and evil rise together and the sky collapses. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is trapped.

When Qiu Tianhe saw Ye Jingtang, he could still think of himself as half an elder, but when he saw Fengguan City, it was completely out of reach. At that time, he was standing alone on the beach like a gangster, and he didn't know how to say hello.

Fortunately, Fengguan City doesn't have any pretensions, just like an ordinary old man in the world. He first praised him for his chivalry, and then talked about some of his past affairs. On the way, he also talked about the Night Terror Hall and wanted to see Fengguan City. evaluation of.

Fengguancheng's response didn't know whether to judge it as arrogance or to state the facts. He said that there were countless young people who had been in the limelight for a hundred years, but 90% of them failed to get in front of him. Ye Jingtang was the most powerful among them, and it might be possible in the future. Go to the top of the mountain.

But he is already several rivers and lakes away from the top of the mountain.

To put it simply, when others jump, they may not be able to touch Fengguancheng's heels, but Ye Jingtang is the most powerful, and they may hit their knees when they jump.

Qiu Tianhe saw how ridiculous Ye Jingtang's talent was. Even though he was in awe of Fengguancheng, he still felt that these words were too crazy, so he wanted to try it on his own and asked Fengguancheng to use all his strength to let him see how high the peak of martial arts was, even if it was just Just one look and you will die in the morning and evening without any regrets.

As it turned out, it turned out that with his Taoist practice, he was not even qualified to see the pinnacle of martial arts.

Feng Guancheng should have waved his sleeves and swept him at that time, and then his memory was broken. When he woke up again, he was already lying on the boat on the sea, and the gangster was patting his face and shouting:

"Old enemy? Old enemy?..."

Qiu Tianhe didn't see anything clearly. After this slap, he finally understood how shallow his skills were. Naturally, he didn't have the shame to run back to see if Feng Lao Shenxian had caught any fish. He left Guancheng silently and turned to Xuanyuan Tiangang. The family of three traveled around the world.

Qiu Tianhe's original intention was to go to the north for a stroll and see more of the different world. However, not long after he left, he heard the news about Ye Jingtang in Jiangzhou City, and even got into a relationship with a talented man from Jiangzhou.

Qiu Tianhe thought he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he took his newly accepted young apprentice to Jiangzhou to have a look. As a result, Long Zhengqing issued a declaration of war before he arrived at Jiangzhou City.

Qiu Tianhe thought he couldn't miss such a grand event, and there were countless people like him who came to watch the excitement.

The stone pavilion was built on the edge of the island. In the center is a towering building that has been passed down for several dynasties. There are many landscape buildings around it, and there is a sea of ​​people among them, all of whom are eagerly looking forward to it.

There are no less than a hundred large and small cruise ships floating between the Sanli Strait, full of good people from all over Jiangzhou. Among them, there are even some young scholars who don’t know the heights of the world. They spread out their pens, inks, paper and inkstones on Huafang Mountain, seemingly preparing to do so. Draw the scene where Ye Jingtang and Long Zhengqing fight.

Qiu Tianhe saw this scene and secretly shook his head, feeling that these young people were simply not afraid of death.

Just like he couldn't see Fengguancheng's attack clearly, ordinary people watching Wu Kui's fight could hear the sound of "boom, boom, boom -". It was hard to see the shadows. In the blink of an eye, Wanghai Tower and A few ships were turned into ashes. Not only did they consider themselves unlucky because of the disaster, they might even be scolded by the people in the world for being short-sighted.

After Qiu Tianhe waited in the pavilion for a while, maybe he was a little bored, he turned around and used the bamboo flute as a ruler to teach his young apprentice how to read the handwriting on the inscription.

In order to hide from her parents who taught her how to read and write, the little girl followed Qiu Tianhe to play on the island. She was forced to learn to read again. She was a little reluctant and looked around absently. After a few glances, she suddenly looked behind the stone monument:

"Master, what is that?"

Qiu Tianhe poked his head from behind the stone tablet and looked at the strait behind the island, only to see an additional figure on the top of Wanghai Tower.

Through the misty rain curtain, the figure could not be seen clearly, but one could personally feel the coldness that shot straight into the sky. From a distance, it looked like a green-edged sword thrust into the highest point of the tall building.

Qiu Tianhe frowned, picked up the oil-paper umbrella from the pavilion, opened it and shined it on the little girl's head:

"Go and have a look."

"Is that handsome big brother here?"

"Ye Xiaozi has a master Jun?"

"Uh... almost..."

——

On the seaside of Xiaoshan County, a small awning boat sailed into the strait. The cross wind carried raindrops and waves hit the boat. As soon as it sailed a short distance, it started to spin with the waves.

Ye Jingtang used an oar at the stern to control the awning boat. Facing waves he had never seen before, his skills were obviously a bit unfamiliar. The boat bumped up and down, and the frightened birds jumped left and right in the awning, trying to balance the boat with their weight. .

Compared with Niaoniao, Master Xuanji and Fan Qinghe were much calmer.

Fan Qinghe was dressed as a heroine, holding a telescope in his hand, sitting in the canopy of the boat, scanning the cruise ships floating on the sea.

Master Xuanji was sitting inside, with her back against the canopy of the boat. She was still as beautiful as an immortal in white clothes, but there was obviously a hint of displeasure on her cheeks.

Last night, Master Xuanji missed Ye Jingtang a little bit, so she gave some opportunities to let Ye Jingtang touch her once.

As a result, Ye Jingtang, as expected, pushed even further and succeeded, and even wanted her to give in verbally.

What is Master Xuanji’s temperament? The Taoist fairy who would rather die than bow her head can temporarily tolerate it, but when she recovers, she will have to move back to the situation.

Then she suffered a lot. If He He hadn't had to change shifts in the middle of the night and pulled her out from under the Demon-Conquering Pestle, she would have been paralyzed now.

After this calamity, Master Xuanji also understood that he should not be too considerate in the future, otherwise Ye Jingtang would definitely become more unruly, and he would have to learn more from Ning'er...

With this thought in mind, Master Xuanji gradually showed a repulsive temperament in her demeanor. Even her sitting posture was no longer idle. But before her emotions were fully brewed, Fan Qinghe next to her put away her telescope and leaned forward to hold her wrist. Pulse number:

"The situation is so big. If Long Zhengqing declares a gauntlet and doesn't show up, he won't have to hang out in the arena anymore. He can just be removed from the arena. Are you feeling better? Don't get into trouble again after a while..."

Master Xuanji pulled his wrist back:

"I'm not sick. What's your pulse?"

Fan Qinghe and Niaoniao were out on the street last night. She didn't want to pay attention to the situation in the inn, but when it was time to change shifts, Ye Jingtang came over. When she returned to her room, she couldn't help but glance at the door.

As a result, it was discovered that the demon girl, who was not afraid of anything, had suffered so much torture that she could not move her fingers even if she was lying on the pillow alive.

Seeing that the demon girl was still pretending to be fine, Fan Qinghe, as a doctor, did not shy away from saying:

"Overexertion during sex will lead to physical weakness. You have the word "deficiency" written on your face, and you still say you are not sick?"

Master Xuanji touched her radiant cheek:

"Have it?"

Fan Qinghe felt that the enchantress was very tough and had no problems with being tormented, but he still educated her verbally:

"By the time you are aware of your lack, you are already seriously ill. Do you understand that you need to exercise restraint in the future? You cannot ask for too much just because you are greedy for pleasure..."

Excessive demands?

Master Xuanji was quite innocent. She tilted her head slightly to signal to the Night Terror Hall behind her:

"What's the use of saying this to him or to me?"

"Sex comes from the heart. If you don't flirt with people all day long, how can he become interested in you?"

"He is also interested in you. Is it possible that you have hooked up with him in private?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang stood at the stern of the ship and scanned the ships on the sea. When he heard the two arguing, he slowly turned the finger on him and interrupted:

"We're almost there, don't be distracted. Long Zhengqing is no small person. What should we do if he suddenly appears?"

Fan Qinghe couldn't defeat the enchantress, so he stopped chatting, picked up the telescope again, and searched around the island; Master Xuanji put on a curtain hat, walked out of the boat canopy and stood at the bow of the boat.

According to Ye Jingtang's estimation, Xiaoshan Fort has been pulled out by him. Long Zhengqing's plan to attract attention failed, so he probably won't fight with him again; even if he has to show his face for the sake of face, it will probably be a symbolic slap twice. Just leave.

After all, Long Zhengqing is the second eldest son of the Eight Chiefs, and it is natural to beat him. If he loses, he will be humiliated. There seems to be something hidden behind his back. It can be said that there is only risk in a one-on-one fight with him at the moment, and there is no benefit at all.

But what he didn't expect was that Long Zhengqing, as the first ranger of the Wei Dynasty, had been traveling all over the world for most of his life. No matter how many things he hid secretly, it did not dilute the sharpness and courage of the "Sword, Dragon Light and Fighting the West" back then!

Ye Jingtang rocked the awning boat and just passed the center line of the strait. His ears twitched slightly and he raised his eyes to look at the towering tall buildings on the islands in the distance.

Also at this time!

call out--

The sound of ethereal swords sounded from the top of the building.

I saw a green light suddenly appear and rush out from the top of the tall building. It was like a green dragon coming from the sea. It drew an arc on the waves and pressed against a giant cruise ship on the sea.

The wind and rain in the sky and the countless people gathered around fell into deathly silence due to the strange movement. Although I couldn't see clearly what the green light across the sky was, I felt this unparalleled momentum, and a word circulating in the world flashed in my mind. Long name:

Thousands of green mountains and dragon worshiping platform, righteousness rises from the sky with a sword!

Long Zhengqing is here!

Boom!

The green light arrived in an instant and landed on the roof of the ship building. The cruise ship carrying hundreds of people sank by three points visible to the naked eye, and white water splashed around it.

The island in the strait, which had just returned to the noisy sea breeze, turned into a deserted place almost instantly. Only the green-edged sword that was suddenly unsheathed and slowly dripping raindrops was left in the whole world.

Everyone around the cruise ship looked up at the top of the giant cruise ship, as if they were looking up at the mountains.

On the top of the mountain, stood a man in a robe. He looked like he was in his early fifties. He was somewhat elegant, but was dissipated by the aura radiating from the inside out. With a pair of calm eyes, he said, Looking down at the awning boat in the waves.

swish swish...

After a moment of dead silence between the straits, the storm arose again!

boom--

Countless people in the rivers and lakes who were looking at the cruise ship in surprise suddenly heard a muffled thunder coming from the sea.

A black shadow rose into the sky from the sea, like a dragon python emerging from the sea, driving wind and rain along the way, and in the blink of an eye it landed on the other side of the roof of the giant cruise ship.

When the figure falls, the storm stops, and there is no buffer between movement and stillness, as if it flickers to this point, which makes the onlookers feel a bit unrealistic.

L……

There are only sounds of waves and wind and rain left between heaven and earth.

Ye Jingtang stood on the ridge of the boat, with raindrops as big as rice grains hitting his bamboo hat. His black cloak fluttered slightly with the sea breeze, revealing the chilong pattern on the handle of the knife at his waist.

He examined the elegant swordsman opposite him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke first:

"Your Excellency is truly courageous."

After Long Zhengqing held it with one hand, the raindrops gathered on the Qingfeng sword, and then dripped on the tip of the sword and turned into a line of rain. His eyes were quite peaceful:

"Since we have made a declaration of war, there is no reason why we should not do so. However, before the fight, I must first make an exchange with Ye Shaoxia. The sword you took away was made by me with all my life's efforts. As long as you are willing to return it, I can tell you some news that the current empress needs urgently."

Ye Jingtang raised his bamboo hat slightly and asked:

"Ming Shen Tu?"

Sa~

Long Zhengqing flipped his wrist slightly and threw the sword behind him:

"That's right. In Ye Shaoxia's eyes, the whereabouts of the Ming Shen Tu should be more important than an indestructible sword."

In order to prevent Dongfang Liren, Ye Jingtang and others from getting anxious, the empress never revealed to Ye Jingtang about her own deduction of the Minglong Diagram.

But having been with Ye Jingtang for so long, he basically guessed what was wrong with Yu Hu's body. When he heard Long Zhengqing say this, he responded:

"It's okay to make deals with each other, but there are some things you need to ask clearly first. Are you from the Green Bandit?"

Long Zhengqing's reaction was dull: "There is a bit of history. We have been in the world for a long time, and it is normal for the relationship to be entangled."

Ye Jingtang was quite surprised to see Long Zhengqing's generous admission, and asked again:

"Who is behind the Green Bandit? Is the chess player Hua Ling mentioned the leader behind the Green Bandit?"

Long Zhengqing stood with his sword behind his back, shook his head and said:

"Hua Ling is just making a fool of himself. If someone can use the world as a chess piece, and you and I are both chess pieces, then the two chess players can only be Emperor Liang and the Empress. Who can one person play chess with?

"The Green Bandit is just a name given by the court. Behind it is just a group of speculators who join the band to keep warm. King Wu and Prince Yan have rebellious intentions. Naturally, these people are like cats smelling fishy smell. And the Pingtian Sect If he doesn't want to rebel, the leader of Pingtian will not pay any attention to him if the green bandits continue to provoke him.

"If Young Master Ye is confused, you can understand the Green Bandit as the Qingji Pavilion hidden underground. Only when there is an employer can there be an assassin. Without a financial backer, the Qingji Pavilion will naturally disappear. But the Green Bandit is not a killer, but a killer. He is an information peddler who relies on his ubiquitous network of contacts to make money.”

Ye Jingtang felt that this statement was reasonable, but he did not believe it entirely, and asked again:

"Then why are you involved with the Green Bandit? You are already in the top three of the Eight Rankings, and you once sat at the top of the list. You should have no shortage of fame and fortune."

"In order to make a good sword, you need a lot of hard-to-find materials."

"The Green Bandit helped you collect materials. What did you give the Green Bandit?"

"I have been traveling around the world for decades. My martial arts skills are among the top ten in the world. I have the same experience. I can be considered a staff member."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly: "That is a crime of colluding with green bandits and conspiring to rebel. The crime is punishable."

Long Zhengqing's eyes were calm: "I am just a knight errant in the rivers and lakes. Yashan is the boundary between the northern and southern dynasties, not the rivers and lakes. I have always acted on my own initiative. If the court feels that I am treasonous, it can arrest him according to the law."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't say much, and his breath gradually became quiet.

Long Zhengqing held his sword upside down and raised his finger slightly when he saw this:

"Young Master Ye, would you like to know the whereabouts of the Ming Shen Tu?"

Ye Jingtang narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Even if I give you the sword now, can you take it away?"

Long Zhengqing showed a smile:

"If it can't be taken away, Young Master Ye will not only get the news, but also get the magic weapon, and he can also kill the treasonous traitor like me. Wouldn't it be like killing three birds with one stone?"

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang raised his left hand to signal.

In the distance on the sea, Master Xuanji and Fan Qinghe also heard their conversation.

Seeing Ye Jingtang's instructions, Master Xuanji took out the sword wrapped in black cloth, flew up and landed beside Ye Jingtang. After handing it to Ye Jingtang, he gently tapped the blue waves and landed back on the awning boat.

Ye Jingtang inserted the sword wrapped in black cloth diagonally behind his waist:

"If you have the ability to take it away, no one here can stop you."

Long Zhengqing glanced at the sword strip and looked at Ye Jingtang again:

"The Ming Shen Diagram is placed in the Imperial Study Room in the Imperial City of Yanjing. Next to it are the remnants of Tianlang Pearl, the list of hidden stakes in Beiliang, etc. Young Hero Ye can get them if he needs them."

?

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he felt that this old man was simply trying to gain nothing.

Saying that it is placed in the study of the Beiliang Emperor is the same as saying that the Jade Bone Picture is in the Imperial Palace of Wei. Regardless of whether it is true or false, how many people in the world dare to verify it?

Ye Jingtang raised his bamboo hat slightly and said displeasedly:

"How are you sure this is true?"

Long Zhengqing flipped his wrist lightly, pointed the sword edge at the green tiles, and his eyes slowly showed a hint of a compelling edge:

"Because when I was young, I sneaked into the Imperial City of Yanjing and saw it with my own eyes."

As soon as the words fell, the boundless sea became completely silent...

I have been so slow typing recently. It took me twelve hours to write this chapter. I don’t want to stay up all night. I’ll finish it in one go tomorrow.
