The wind and the sun are good today, let’s drink and sing for a long time.
Every time he went down the mountain, Bai Qiuran felt that his mood was much more relaxed.
Although he has long been detached, he always feels a little bit unable to let go of the Qingming Sword Sect. Now that he has left the sect and the mountain gate, Bai Qiuran can finally be a pure Bai Qiuran, not the ancestor of the Qingming Sword Sect. Bai Qiuran.
There are ten countries in the ancient state, and the country under Qingming Mountain is the Shangxuan country among the ten countries. It just so happens that the alchemy materials Bai Qiuran is looking for this time should be able to be found within the territory of the Shangxuan country.
After descending from Qingming Mountain, Bai Qiuran bypassed the town of Xuanjian, and then walked towards the area really controlled by the royal family of the Shangxuan Kingdom. Infuriating, using the superb lightening technique, he can still achieve the same effect as flying with imperial air, but he doesn't like that.
Three thousand years ago, Bai Qiuran had already lost the rush of coming and going just to find materials and complete tasks. This time he went down the mountain, not only as a trip to collect materials, but also as a wandering.
Therefore, he did not hurry on the road by virtue of his cultivation, but went to the nearest town to the town of Xuanjian under Qingming Mountain.
But not long after walking, Bai Qiuran was blocked on the road by a group of big brothers who looked bad.
"Excuse me… "
Facing this group of strong men who were in the middle of the forging period and the strongest in the late period of the forging period, he asked with a gentle smile:
"Everyone stop here, what's the matter?"
"matter?"
Several big men surrounded him, the one at the head showed the big knife with the copper ring in his hand, and licked his tongue greedily.
"That is, some of our brothers saw that the young master has an extraordinary bearing, and wanted to borrow some dishes to entangle the flowers, and help the rivers and lakes."
"Robbery?"
Bai Qiuran said with a smile:
"Everyone, if I remember correctly, this is the official way of the Shangxuan Kingdom."
"How about the official way?"
The roadblockers laughed and said:
"Emperor Shangxuan is now in critical condition, and the soldiers stationed on this official road have long since been transferred. If you don't give money to the brothers, even if the King of Heaven comes today, don't try to save you!"
Is the situation in Shangxuan Kingdom already so severe
Seeing the bandits laughing around, Bai Qiuran thought silently in his heart.
He remembered that when he came down the mountain hundreds of years ago, the Shangxuan country was still a country where the people of Li people lived happily.
Originally, the nearby ancient state and several nearby areas were sheltered by the Qingming Sword Sect, and there were no unsightly cultivators who would come to invade the Qingming Sword Sect's territory.
Generally speaking, the demons and ghosts that grow in the local area will also be dealt with by the disciples of the Qingming Sword Sect who come down the mountain to travel. Therefore, there are generally only two reasons for the chaos of the ten kingdoms in the ancient state.
Mutual wars between ten countries, or chaos caused by domestic high-level fights.
Generally speaking, Qingming Jianzong doesn't care about things like this. After all, as a cultivator, Qingming Jianzong is still determined to seek the way to ascend, not power in the mundane world. How chaotic within the ancient state kingdom and how the people in power change are all things that Qingming Sword Sect does not need to care about, and it is best not to care about it.
Cultivators do not involve the struggle of mortal forces. This is the teaching of Qingming Taoist to Bai Qiuran and others, and he has always passed it on.
But if it is something like robbers and thieves on the road, it will be different. The struggle for power in Shangxuan is their business, but if these bandits are thrown here, they will harm every innocent person who passes by this road. Common people, when encountering this kind of person, Qing Ming's disciples have always done their best to eliminate evil.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuran still kept a smile on his face, but his right hand quietly held the sword hilt at his waist, and his thumb gently pushed out a section of the sword.
The three feet of autumn water reflected a cold light, and seeing Bai Qiuran's movements, the bandits noticed his intention to resist, so they also raised their weapons.
But at this moment, a light drink suddenly sounded behind the group of people.
"Stop me!"
A black shadow flew over from behind, kicked the bandit closest to him, and then fell to the ground.
The bandits scattered in fright, each of them being wary of Bai Qiuran and the visitor, while Bai Qiuran looked at the visitor.
The visitor was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, a handsome face, and black hair. He had a man's hair combed behind his head and tied with a white square towel. He was dressed in Wearing a white chivalrous gown embroidered with flowing cloud patterns, and holding a three-foot long sword in his hand, he looked like a noble child from a mortal family who came out to walk the rivers and lakes.
At this time, the white-faced little student was holding his sword in front of him with a straight face and scolded the bandits:
"In broad daylight, the world is so bright that it dares to block the road and loot on the official road. I really don't take the law of the Shangxuan king in my eyes!"
"Wang Fa?"
The bandits looked at each other, and then the bandit in the lead laughed and said:
"Damn Wang Fa, brothers will not be able to live anymore, who wants to put that useless law in their eyes, these days, it's true that you feel good when you fill your stomach! Brothers, let's go together! , this is also a fat sheep!"
"Boss, you have to be merciful with your big sword later."
A gangster licked his tongue.
"Brothers haven't vented for several days. This boy is born handsome, just right..."
"Fuck you uncle!"
The bandit leader kicked him.
"Man, you want to do it too? I grabbed the money, won't I take you to the Goulan in the city to solve it? Huh?"
"But we are wanted!"
The bandit said aggrievedly:
"There are no soldiers on the official road, but the city is different. We will be killed when we enter."
The bandit leader thought for a while, it seemed to be the truth, so he slowed down, looked at Bai Qiuran and said:
"Okay then, take a closer look, this white-haired ghost doesn't seem to look good, I'll catch it later and take it back."
Hearing the conversation of these bandits, the young man over there was blushing with anger, and although Bai Qiuran was still smiling, there was a hint of danger in his smile.
Three thousand years of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, he has a good temper, but it does not mean that he will not be angry when something happens.
"Shameless bandits!"
However, the elder brother over there seemed to be more excited than him. Seeing that these gangsters were ready to attack, he immediately drew out his long sword and attacked first.
A majestic and majestic true qi emanated from his body, and a faint golden light appeared on the blade of this gentleman, and then he waved at the bandits, a golden sword qi. It shot out, and a sword cut off the head of the gangster who just made this suggestion.
Oh, it turned out to be a fellow in the Qi refining period.
Bai Qiuran thought to himself.
Although Qi refining has officially stepped into the path of immortal cultivation, it does not mean that there are no monks in the Qi refining period in the mortal world. Among those big families, royal families or martial arts factions, there are so few people who can advance to refining. The realm of air.
When they reach this realm, they can extract the infuriating energy in their bodies, penetrate their bodies to attack their opponents, or form a layer of defense on the body surface, their strength is more than ten times that of the peak of the forging period.
These are what the real Qi-refining period looks like. Like Bai Qiuran, those who can split mountains and seas with one breath of True Qi are already other types of monsters.
Blood splashed, the headless corpse fell on the road of the charge, and when they saw this golden sword energy, the expressions of the bandits changed greatly.
"Really? It's a martial arts master!"
The leader of the bandit shouted and ran into the forest on the side without looking back.
"Run!"
Several gangsters threw away their weapons in tears and ran to the forest next to them. The young man stood there and looked at them with a cold face, but he didn't intend to continue, as if he was threatening to intrude. The cats and dogs of other creatures in his own territory are only to let these bandits be driven away by him, and he does not intend to kill them all.
But he didn't plan to kill them all, but Bai Qiuran planned to kill them all.
So just when the noble son was stunned, a white rainbow suddenly swept across, and within a semicircle of dozens of meters from the mountain road to the forest, a sword mark on the same horizontal line appeared on all the trees.
The sound of clattering sounded, and the trees with different thicknesses moved in the same direction, broke into two pieces along the sword mark, and then fell down.
And those bandits were also slashed by this sword across their waists, and were divided into two from the waist.
