Chapter 209: There are regrets (twenty-one)

Views:

The headlines of the grassroots newspapers of various countries and organizations are all news that "Northern Li sent troops to the South Mine to occupy the Nanhe Peninsula". Every draft newspaper sent a "secretary"—the pen who wrote the article—to take the risk of going to Nanhe on a merchant ship to get first-hand information.

For a time, there were countless discussions in the streets and alleys.

"Wan Frost chopped off the border inscriptions of various countries on the South Mine, one sword at a time, and the inscriptions that can't get through are faster than water vapor."

"Wan Frost can cut the frontier inscription on the South Mine, so wouldn't it be the same on the mainland..."

"It's over, it's over." Some elderly people seized the opportunity to scare people to show their profound experience, "Northern people are going south, let's see, it's the same as Renzong's time, I'm afraid there will be a war!"

"It's freezing cold in the Northern Continent, and the northerners are all savages and blood drinkers. I heard that in Yanning, the capital of their country, it's common to beat people to death in the street for a word of disagreement. When the sun goes down, those who don't have the time to stay close dare not go up." The street. The gangsters kick the door in the middle of the night, and eat whatever they catch when food is scarce! People can eat it too!"

"They're all barbarians, and it's common for fathers and sons, brothers and wives to live together!"

"This... oh, isn't it a beast?"

Unless it becomes the same as the battle of Wanhe in the past, according to common sense, the battle of immortals will not be included in the "political news" of the grassroots newspapers-one of the mortals does not understand, and the other is afraid of mentioning the names of the elders indiscriminately, and accidentally committing any taboos .

But this time, the incident on the Nanhe Peninsula unexpectedly stirred up a thousand waves.

It's not that the common people are full of food and have nothing to do to care about the "no man's land" in the chaotic land. It's the decree of the sword slave cutting the border inscriptions and then ordering the destruction of all moon-plated gold products that scares people.

There is a grass newspaper called "Tao Wen Tianxia". The secretary took a photo of the Beili people destroying the steam engine. It is said that the camera and the Feihong machine were smashed by Beiman. The secretary still does not know whether he is dead or not. live. On that day, "Tao Wen Tian Xia" was reprinted three times out of stock, and people who knew Western Chu Wen from all over the world tried to get a copy.

All kinds of rumors are rampant, and some people even say that in recent years, Northern Li has been exodus of gold and silver. They are jealous of the prosperity of the Southern Continent and want to ban gold plating on the moon. It is rumored that the gold plating on the moon should have descended to the earth eight hundred years ago. , and forced Xuanyin to be confined by the Golden Hand.

The rich are panic-stricken: Judging from this, if the northerners really invade, the factories and industries that cannot be moved will suffer. Not to mention the poor, their hometown has long since run out of land. Many factories, vehicles and ships are settled on a daily basis.

The article in "Tao Wen Tian Xia" is not astonishing and endless. Following the precious photos in that issue, another article was published immediately, which once again hit the point that people are most concerned about: the famous secretary "Mr. Xu" wrote more than ten thousand words eloquently, writing The dispute over the gold plating of the moon in the mysterious northern continent for hundreds of years.

The moon-plated gold comes from Xianmen, and the promotion has always been "top-down". Long before the old gold-plated gold melting furnace officially landed, Xianmen has already shed a lot of blood.

The Wanhe War broke out in the Southern Continent. In the distant upper reaches of the Tianze River, the Northern Continent was not so disturbed, but the level of cruelty was even worse. The battle between the old and the new factions about the gold-plated moon in the Northern Calendar lasted for several years.

The Yanning "new faction" back then may have asked for reform for their own ambitions, or because they had seen enough of the barren land and the starving Chinese people. As a result, Kunlun was divided into two groups: the conservatives who opposed the moon-gold were naturally opposed by Lingshi. At the same time, Kunlun's inner sect was inseparable from Yanning's dignitaries, and a considerable number of people decided to side with their own families.

The northerners are savage and aggressive in their bones. When the attitude of the Kunlun powerhouses is ambiguous, the battle between the old and the new factions escalates rapidly. At the beginning, it was just an open and secret fight in the court. From the time when the second prince, Prince Jialuo, was assassinated, he soon became bloody, and then the "fire of war" spread to Xianshan.

The two factions had a quarrel, which was finally finalized by the second elder of Kunlun—the news of the outbreak of the Wanhe War came, and the second elder publicly said that "the gold plating of the moon is ominous".

The second elder is not the most senior among the elders, but he has the most special status among the Kunlun cicadas. There are rumors that even the head of the sect gives him three points. With his light words, the new faction that originally had the upper hand was uprooted overnight.

The "Night Returning People" had a big change in the wind, acquiescing to the Yanning conservatives mobilizing the forbidden army to rush into the capital and support the new emperor who killed his father and brother. Many new nobles who were caught off guard died directly in the rebellion.

In this battle, the long street in the capital of Beili was covered with blood, and the bloody atmosphere lingered for several months. It was called "Dark Moon's Change" in history.

In addition to the second elder who was so overwhelmed by his words, there was also a big figure mentioned in the article: Night Cream Servant Sword Slave.

Mr. Xu, the secretary, didn't know whether it was to avoid taboo or to show respect, so he didn't mention the name of the sword servant, but only mentioned her title - she is the daughter of the old Pingyang king. The only second disciple of the elder.

According to legend, the princess was outstanding when she was still in the disciple hall. Before she reached the level, she opened her spiritual aperture first, and beat up a group of senior and stronger brothers than her.

In other ways, there may be epiphanies by chance and coincidence, but there is no shortcut for sword cultivation, which is tempered by hard work day after day. The lord of Changji County is a genius of heaven, who built a foundation at thirty, and there is no one before or after in the sword cultivator, so that the second elder is not willing to let her give up the Kunlun Nine Swords. It is said that in her sixties, this terrifying swordsman genius has reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and the second elder was afraid that her mood would be unstable, and that she would go awry when she was tribulated by lightning, so she kept suppressing her progress.

However, this extremely young genius for Taoism is also facing a problem that has no precedent in Kunlun Mountains: her mortal blood relatives are still alive.

The twin elder brothers of Princess Changji inherited their father's title and became the new Pingyang King. Dragon and phoenix twins are much closer than ordinary brothers and sisters. Although one of the two siblings was dismissed by Disciple Hall and the other became a legend of Disciple Hall, their relationship has always been very good. During festivals, or big days such as King Pingyang's birthday, Princess Sword Chi will show up in the mortal world, even if she is in seclusion.

King Pingyang suffered from a serious illness when he was 60 years old, and the princess, who never liked to see outsiders, even went south to seek medicine for this—except for Kunlun Mountain and Yanning City, Nanshu actually became the first place she visited in her life. three places.

King Pingyang is not good at swordsmanship, but he is a scheming politician. He has done countless important things in history in his life, and he is hated by his political opponents.

One of the brothers and sisters doesn't understand swords, the other doesn't understand tactics. They usually do irrelevant things and don't interfere with each other.

But good fortune tricks people, this Pingyang King is one of the leaders of the Yanning New Sect.

On the night of the Anshuo incident in Yanning, the prince of Pingyang, who was over seventy years old, was killed by the red-eyed rebels, broke into the palace, hung him up, cut several knife wounds on his neck and thighs, and drained his blood to death. .

"On one side is the blood-related brother, and on the other side is the master who has loved her since the beginning. The tragedy of some geniuses is that they are too focused. Except for the love of their lives, they think that everything else has nothing to do with them. Forget that they are human— You and I are nothing more than two-legged beasts. All we want in our lives is the word "power". Whether it is studying or practicing swords, there are three thousand roads, and there are three thousand ways to pursue power. Anyone who deceives himself and others refuses to admit this will not Good end." At the bottom of the South China Sea, Wang Geluobao sighed while pointing to the grass newspaper spread out on the table, "It is said that Wu Lingxiao almost lost his temper, which probably explains why she hates the moon gold so much."

Opposite Wang Geluobao, Queen Mother Xi took a sip from her teacup: "So she is not very old."

The sword servant ignored the dignity of the four kingdoms and smashed the border inscription on the Nanhe Peninsula. There was no barrier to his spiritual consciousness, and he could have a panoramic view of the entire Nanhe Peninsula. It was no longer safe for the Queen Mother of the West to stay on land, so she had no choice but to temporarily form an alliance with Wang Geluobao and move her secret realm to the South China Sea.

There may be hundreds or thousands of acres of land in the secret mustard, but the actual land area can be infinitely small—as long as the spirit stones can provide the magic circle for folding space.

At this time, the Queen Mother of the West moved her secret realm that accommodated hundreds of people into the mouth of "Wang Sheng Salamander".

"Not bad." While speaking, Yu Chang's phantom floated on a communication fairy on the table.

As soon as Yu Chang showed up, he first greeted Wang Geluobao and Xi Wangmu affectionately, as if there was no quarrel, as if Xi Wangmu was still guarding against him after eating him, and Wang Geluobao secretly played tricks to detonate the poisonous miasma.

"This 'Mr. Xu' is not an ordinary secretary, but a monk with a big man standing behind him. The article she wrote should be reliable. She didn't write about the follow-up of the servant sword slave. I’ve heard a few of them through acquaintances.”

"Oh, Brother Yu came just in time." Wang Geluobao saw that he was more affectionate, and the two seemed to be brothers who had been separated for many years. "Please tell me, we know ourselves and our enemies."

"This dispute between the old and the new seems to be over, and the guilt of mortals does not affect the inner sect immortals. It is a pity that immortals also have emotions and six desires. Although the Kunlun inner sect prohibits disciples from fighting among themselves, the conservative party's suppression of the new sect is clear. Wu Lingxiao Wu Lingxiao's situation has also become extremely embarrassing. Because of her master, the new sect even has a grudge against her, while the conservative sect knows her family's position and treats her as an outsider. Wu Lingxiao lived a very depressed life in the inner sect, so he left the Kunlun inner sect. Since I invited you to go to the Disciple Hall for retreat...the misunderstanding between the master and the apprentice has not been resolved, and the Second Elder has gone wrong in Beijue Mountain."

Yu Chang paused, and briefly explained the Kunlun Beijue Formation to the other two evil spirits: "It is said that the second elder might have had some disagreements with the head of the sect at that time, and he probably lost his mind while repairing the Beijue Formation, and accidentally fell into it." It’s inside. Until now, there’s no one alive, no one dead, no dead body.”

Wang Geluobao said: "Princess Changji is already embarrassed, once Master leaves, won't she have nowhere to go?"

"Yes," Yu Chang said, he suddenly sighed slightly, and then smiled sarcastically, "A place like Kunlun where sword masters gather together, female masters are very rare. Although Wu Lingxiao doesn't have a reputation for being a beauty, he should have She looks pretty, not indisputable. She is a woman who overwhelms her peers... and even her senior brother, so she can gossip as much as she can. When the second elder was around, no one dared to speak loudly. Living."

A woman knows a little bit of kendo, but it's because her senior brother was too embarrassed to get serious with her and deliberately gave in, which made her win the false name of Disciple Hall.

She entered the country quickly—the direct disciple of the second elder, how could it be unhappy to enter the country? The Second Elder casually dialed a sentence, enough for others to ponder and comprehend for decades.

As for why she was so lucky, not to mention entering the inner sect, she was able to ascend to the sky in one step, and was accepted as a personal heir by the second elder... who knows

Anyway, women always have the "advantage" of women, and it's useless for others to be envious and jealous.

Although Yu Chang is despicable and shameless, when it comes to such things, no matter whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, his attitude will always be somewhat restrained. After all, when he was young, he threw himself at the stake that was put on the bodies of women in the world.

Queen Mother Xi's eyes softened slightly, and she asked, "Did she give up her human life because of this, and would rather make herself into a half puppet?"

"Kunlun sword cultivators have had a tradition of great competitions since ancient times. The head of the foundation building monks' big competitions was a rare sword sharpening stone - it is said that it was used by Lord Huixiang of Western Chu to restore the famous sword 'Sura'. As soon as the news came out Everyone turned red-eyed." Yu Changdao, "Wu Lingxiao is indeed extraordinary, and there is no suspense about being the top among her peers. She is already conceited and arrogant, and coupled with the fact that she was squeezed out by her peers at that time, she may also have a sense of revenge , in short, the shot was almost humiliating, leaving no room for it, which aroused public anger.

"Before the last match of the Grand Competition, thirteen Kunlun Sword Cultivators, who were defeated by her, teamed up to surround her. Wu Lingxiao knew that he was invincible, but he refused to evade his edge to protect himself, and his words were ugly, so the two sides violated the door. She fought with each other. When the sect was shocked, one of the thirteen sword cultivators who besieged her was killed by her, and six were disabled. The rest were all bad. She was seriously injured, her meridians were damaged, and her sword skills stop there.

"Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Kunlun wanted to make peace, but the dead man's sect was relentless and aggressive. At this time, another disciple of the Second Elder—that is, Wu Lingxiao's senior brother Xie Li happened to be back from a trip. They Brothers and sisters are different in swordsmanship, and there are hundreds of years of age difference. Coupled with the difference between men and women, it is estimated that there is nothing to talk about at ordinary times. A few years after Wu Lingxiao started, her brother was promoted to a teacher, and there was no special closeness. Her relationship... Otherwise, no one would bully her like that. After all, there are so many 'same family', isn't it all the same family who want to kill her

"In fact, the inner sect also hinted that everyone should calm down and calm down. Unexpectedly, Xie Li didn't say a word after listening to it. That night, he cut off the meridians of the remaining twelve sword cultivators involved in the incident one by one, found the deceased's master, and publicly debated the law to appeal to humanity. Damaged. If the third elder of Kunlun hadn't arrived in time to stop drinking, he would have almost died, and Xie Bian would have rebelled against Kunlun since then. I'm afraid you may not be familiar with the name 'Xie Bian', but you must have heard of his name—Beijueshan Blind wolf king.

"Think about how high and mighty the second elder of Kunlun Mountain was back then. In just a few years, he disappeared, and his disciples ran away, and fell down. Uncovering the forbidden technique, she found another way to turn herself into a half-puppet servant who is neither human, ghost nor ghost—the most shocking thing is that Wan Shuang, who has been unaffordable for thousands of years, recognized her, so she He has become the current sword servant."

When Yu Chang said this, he sighed slightly: "This person is so ruthless, so arrogant that no one in the sect will tolerate him. It is said that because of Wan Shuang, the sect leader's edicts are ignored, whether he is gentle or scheming, I'm afraid it won't work."

Wang Geluobao shook his head, and looked at Queen Mother Xi with affectionate and sinister eyes: "Sanyue Mountain is still sealed, and Chu State is powerless; those Yixiu people in our country have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and only dared to bark twice from afar, not even a decent Shengling Appointment. As for Nanwan—the 'Wan Shuang' has different policies towards different countries. Kunlun must have reached some tacit agreement with 'Zhao Ting' in private. Your Highness, we are currently struggling. Except for you, there is no one in the Southern Continent. A man can control the servant of the sword."

Queen Mother Xi's eyes sank slightly.
