Nanyue Kingdom, Yuelong Mountain.
The Nanyue Kingdom is just a small country among the dozens of small countries in the Canglong Realm, and it is not worth mentioning in the entire Canglong Realm. The Yuelong Mountain in front of you is also the same. Although the mountain is steep, the entire mountain is withered and yellow, and there is no green. The mountain is desolate and has countless cracks. , as if being split by a sword, it is horrible; there is a dilapidated palace on the top of the loess-like barren mountain, covered with yellow dust, lifeless, and occasionally a few figures in brown robes walk through the mountain aimlessly, lifeless, bleak autumn wind However, it was full of desolation.
But who would have thought that five hundred years ago, Yuelong Mountain was one of the most famous mountains in the Canglong Realm, and there was an endless stream of monks who sought the Tao, and once surrounded Yuelong Mountain only to listen to the prehistoric lecture; Do your best to witness the glory of the Kowloon Supreme.
This is the Yuelong Palace that was once known as the "Canglong" by the prominent Canglong world.
When talking about the prosperity and decline of the legend of the "Canglong" Yuelong Temple, the residents living at the foot of the mountain are still sighing.
Since the beginning of Star Fighting, the star general's contract has changed the pattern of Canglong monks. Countless sects have begun to take advantage of the opportunity of Star Fighting to transform sparrows into phoenixes. There has been a talent in the four generations, and the Starfaller who signed the double star has not changed this fate.
In the fifth generation of Dou Xing finally withered, the aura of Yuelong Mountain was eaten away by countless monks, and finally ended up as a barren land. Although later some disciples of the Yuelong Palace nostalgic and returned to this place to establish the "Yuelongmen", but like many small sects, they are just lingering.
Doosung 980.
On this day, a green light came from the sky and landed at the foot of Yuelong Mountain. As soon as the green light receded, three figures appeared. The one in the middle was a man with a fat body and a round belly. The man was ordinary, but his small eyes were full of smiles, which made people feel very simple and honest. Wearing a gorgeous Canglong robe embroidered with yellow dark patterns all over the body, the color is dull, and the mana is flowing. There is a dragon shadow coiling around it. It only makes people think that this is a magic weapon with strong mana. The bachelors here are afraid that they will be surprised.
This robe is the "yellow robe plus body" robe that has disappeared for a long time.
There are two women on the left and right of the fat man. Compared with the ordinary appearance of the fat man, the two women are beautiful and moving. The girl on the left is slightly younger, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing very simple plain clothes without any decorations, just like ordinary peasant women, but the simple plain clothes on the girl give people a simple beauty, just like Lightly scented crabapple.
The woman's figure is delicately outlined by plain clothes, revealing the youthfulness of a girl. Compared with her, the woman on the right hand side of the man is the complete opposite. She wears a tasseled red silk crown and a tight-fitting light blue satin skirt. The skirt is wide on both sides and parted towards the two sides, exposing the shoulders and the golden breastplate underwear inside. The skirt There are exquisite embroidery, various long ribbons, and complex matching, just like the angels descending from the murals.
She has a pair of charming eyes decorated with long eyelashes; the straight nose is very eye-catching in the middle; What surprised people was the woman's slender jade legs, without boots, and her snow-white legs were tightly pressed by white silk leggings. The handwork was also gorgeous, and the sapphire was hidden. Under the sunlight, it looked crystal clear and dazzling.
From a distance, it looks like a banished fairy descending to earth.
"Old pig, did Qingshang misread it?" The celestial gorgeous woman blinked her green and clear eyes and frowned.
"Brother, isn't it here?" The simple girl looked at Yuelong Mountain in the distance.
The men who were called "Old Pig" and "Brother" narrowed their small eyes, "You can't be wrong, Qingshang, Fenghua, this is the Yuelong Palace in Yuelong Mountain."
"Really?" Fenghua still feels that the mountain in front of him is very desolate, which is completely different from the prosperity in his memory.
"It seems that something has changed." Qing Shang was thoughtful.
"Let's go in and have a look!"
With cold eyes in the old pig's eyes, he walked up the mountain, Fenghua said to Qingshang, "Sister Qingshang, what should I do?"
"Let's see what the old pig wants to do." Qing Shang snorted without hesitation.
The girl shrugged, reluctantly following.
Luoying Ghost Kingdom is named after "ghost" and "cherry", but in the eyes of monks in the Canglong Realm, it has always been a barbaric place. There, ghost warriors are especially famous for practicing ghost swordsmanship like those in the underworld, so it gives people a negative impression. It feels that in the eyes of many people, Luo Ying Gui Country is a place that is as oppressive as a hell, shrouded in death all year round.
But not all.
Kyoto.
The capital of the Luoying Ghost Kingdom was built in imitation of Bianjing, a large beam, with castles, pavilions, and towering palaces. Unlike Bianjing, Kyoto is planted with a lot of osmanthus, willow, and cherry trees.
Among them, the number of cherry blossom trees is amazing. Looking down from Kyoto, the city is full of pink flowers, and the willow trees and cherry blossoms are planted interlaced, like a brocade.
From Su Xing's point of view, there is such a tinge of romance in strolling down Cherry Blossom Street with a loved one.
"I didn't expect people from the ghost country to be arty." Wu Siyou walked aside, looking around at the cherry blossom trees with a little admiration.
Su Xing deeply felt the same way.
"However, the concubine finds it strange. I heard that the ghost country has split into several vassal states, and there have been years of wars. Doesn't it seem like the rumors?" Wu Siyou was thoughtful.
Su Xing also heard Wu Xinjie mention the Luoying Ghost Country.
This narrow and long island country has always been full of wars, and the people are struggling to survive, so although Canglong monks don't want to see the warriors of this ghost country, they are happy to watch the fire from the other side, but now they seem to be as peaceful as Daliang.
"Perhaps someone like Emperor Liang came out to rule." Su Xing shrugged.
Wu Siyou felt that it was also possible.
"Husband, how are you going to do the Ghost Dao Sword Art?" Wu Siyou turned his mind back to Su Xing.
"I've already thought about it, but it's still early, let's go shopping first." Su Xing took Wu Siyou's hand, and ran around the stalls on the streets of Kyoto without any explanation.
"Sell steamed stuffed buns, delicious cherry blossom buns..."
A childish and lovely voice echoed on the street, Su Xing and Wu Siyou followed the voice at the same time, and saw a cart beside the street, and saw a super cute girl in a cute dress of a cook holding a steamer in one hand, Holding a white and tender meat bun in one hand, shouting on the street.
This street leads to Kyoto's famous imperial city and several important castles. There are many pedestrians and the business of girls' stalls is also very good.
"Such a young person came out to sell steamed stuffed buns?" Su Xing was speechless, and was about to step up to ask about it, but found Wu Siyou's expression was a bit painful. "Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Siyou stared at the girl who was only seven or eight years old, a cold look flickered in his ice-like eyes, and he recovered immediately: "It's nothing."
"Let's try it."
Su Xing held Wu Siyou and walked in front of the girl.
"Hee hee, do the two guests want to buy cherry blossom bags? Freshly baked." The little girl is very cute, with big eyes, two ponytails, and charming red cheeks when she smiles.
Not even ceramic dolls are this cute.
"Take two." Su Xing smiled.
Cherry Blossom Buns are ordinary big buns, except that the buns have red marks of petals. Su Xing took a sip and it melted in the mouth. It tasted pretty good. Wu Siyou also bit his mouth carefully, his eyes still sizing up the girl.
"What's your name? Are you alone?" Su Xing asked.
"My name is Xiaoniang, what does the guest officer want to do?" Little Lolita blinked innocently, making Su Xing suddenly feel guilty.
"... Where's your family?" Su Xing asked her.
"I can't say it."
"..."
"How could your parents have the heart to leave you alone at such a young age?" Su Xing frowned.
"Young lady's only interest is to sell steamed stuffed buns." Xiaoniang opened her aggrieved eyes.
"Uh..." Su Xing had never encountered such a situation, so he didn't know how to say it.
"Husband, don't worry about her." Wu Siyou said softly, and the traveler gave Su Xing a wink. Su Xing understood, glanced around, and immediately felt a powerful aura hidden in the corner that was guarding here, as if as long as Su Xing If Xing acted rashly, that aura would come out at any time.
What Su Xing cared about was the unusually strong aura, which surprised Su Xing himself.
With Su Xing's current strength, it is very rare for him to feel this powerful. Wu Siyou also seemed to be stimulated, and Xing Zhe's blood began to move around, and his interest was aroused.
The pedestrians around felt the pressure, and already avoided it with some fear.
At this moment, the dangerous aura suddenly disappeared, leaving Su Xing and Wu Siyou in the air. They looked at each other, thinking it was an illusion.
"Guest officer, this fresh valentine bag was just made by my little lady."
The little girl opened her mouth and came out holding a big heart-shaped meat bag, "Are you husband and wife? If so, this is what the girl gave you." Su Xing couldn't refuse the girl's innocence.
"Thank you so much. If you have any difficulties, brother will help you." Su Xing stroked her hair.
"Really?" The little girl blushed even more.
Su Xing nodded, and suddenly listened: "Do you want to play hide-and-seek?"
"But I still want to sell buns." Thinking about it, Xiaoniang shook her head.
Su Xing didn't expect her to be so dedicated, and she was ashamed.
After giving the bag to the lover, the young lady shouted to sell the buns again, with a happy expression on her face. It seemed that selling buns was indeed her interest. Su Xing originally wanted to use her to draw out the powerful master. For a while, I felt a little guilty.
Su Xing and Wu Siyou sat aside, ordered a bottle of shochu, and watched Little Lolita work while drinking. However, Su Xing did not forget his job to ask the residents here about the strongest Onimusha in Kyoto, and the peak Ghost Dao Sword Qi appeared in Luo Ying Gui Country, so it would be easiest to start with the strongest sword master.
But the answer he got gave Su Xing some headaches.
There are countless sword dojos in Kyoto, and the Kido Sword Art genre is even more complicated than that of the Canglong World, such as the Kyoba-ryu of Minamoto Yoshitsune, the Kamakura-style swordsmanship, and the Naoshin-kage-ryu and Yidao-ryu. , Liu Shengliu, etc., and even the ghost saints of the princes.
In the Canglong Realm, one can know the strength of the monks at a glance, but Luo Ying Gui Country is the opposite. Maybe those sword masters have cultivation, but how do the residents understand this, and there are different opinions on who is better.
"Husband, why bother to feel a headache, just ask me directly." Wu Siyou disagreed.
"Alright." Su Xing thought for a while, and this was the only way to go.
