Xingyun Banquet Meng Qi nodded with a smile and took the invitation:
Tell your young master that Su will attend the banquet as scheduled.
The date of the banquet marked on the invitation was New Year's Eve, which seemed to mean saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Calculating the time, Meng Qi's schedule was not tight, so he planned to go to Wen'an first to complete Yun Zhongzi's commission.
It is near the end of the year in Wen'an, Jiangdong, and the wind is blowing. Although there is no snow to seal the river, the environment is damp and cold, and the weather is gloomy. It seems that no matter how thick and thick the clothes are, it can't stop the cold from penetrating. It is a completely different feeling from the northern scenery.
The harmonious Shengcai Lujian, who was famous for his wide acquaintances, had his hands in his sleeves, holding a red copper sleeve stove, walking on the street in the cold wind with a smile on his face, smiling and nodding from time to time, greeting people, and seemed to know him everywhere.
When he was young, he also ambitiously entered the world, and relied on his sociable skills to get to know many famous people. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured later and could not be treated in time, leaving the root of the disease. There was no hope of breakthrough, so he had to return to his hometown. , relying on personal connections to become a powerful person.
Ahem, he coughed a few times and tightened his sleeves to resist the cold air outside and inside him.
This is an old injury of his, and he feels particularly sad every winter. If not for this, how could such a level of cold be enough to kill a master with seven orifices
Lu Jian sighed and muttered to himself.
When he felt stiff all over in winter, he felt particularly emotional about this matter. If he had chosen to inherit the family business instead of going out to make a living, he might have become a nine-year-old man. Although there was no hope of a half-step outside, at least he wouldn't have to go out every year. It took two or three months of life and death. Unfortunately, at that time, I was young and full of energy and had lofty ambitions. I felt that I was not worthy of living in this world if I couldn't do the outdoor scenes, so I traveled far and wide, going through high and low water. Seeking the road to location.
Looking back now, there are countless people who have enlightened themselves, and how many can open the door to life and death. For ordinary people in the world, the hope is so slim.
Second uncle, why are you so sad? His nephew Lu Huo, who was walking beside him like an old man, couldn't help laughing. His second uncle was only forty years old. But when he laments the affairs of the world, he always seems to be a man of seventy or eighty years of age. Lifeless, sighing.
Lu Jian smiled and scolded: "When you travel through the world, you will understand my second uncle's current state of mind."
Speaking of this, his mind suddenly recalled all the things he had experienced:
Slaying bandits, slaying evil spirits, and going through life and death for a certain relic.
I once got drunk in the building outside the building, I once won money at Tianzi No. 1 gambling house, I once walked three hundred miles in a hurry while wearing a cloak and wearing a moonlight. I once went through fire and water for a certain promise.
Jin Li, who is a concubine but never complains about himself, Xue Rui, who is always smiling and loves teasing others, and Zhong Meixian, who is always blushing and shy but never abandons his companions when facing an enemy. Deep friendships all appeared in Lu Jian's heart one by one, making him Full of warmth, I sighed again, if I had not chosen to travel in the world. I'm afraid that my life is monotonous and meager, and even my memories seem pale. Alas, if I go back to the beginning and choose again, I'm afraid I will still make the same decision.
Lu Huo is at the age where he yearns for the world. He didn't care about his second uncle's words and just looked at the heroes with swords and swords.
Suddenly, he shouted: Second uncle, look, the new list of people has come out.
They passed the six-door Wen'an Yamen.
Lu Jian of the People's List was quite surprised. The People's List was updated so frequently. Could it be that there were major changes in the rankings
As one of the local snakes, it is necessary to understand the news of the world. He took his nephew and guards into the square in front of the Yamen and studied the list of people.
Crazy, Crazy Sword Su Meng's ranking has been improved again. Lu Huo exclaimed. In less than three months, Su Meng has improved his ranking again. It's simply unbelievable.
Except for the period when one first enters the world and slowly reveals one's strength, the promotion of rankings usually takes half a year as a cycle. After all, the growth of cultivation takes time. It is not possible to defeat stronger enemies just by thinking, but Su Meng defeated him in Jiangdong. The Five Directions Emperor Sword has not been full for three months, but he has actually done something shocking again. The combat power he has shown makes people unable to believe that he is the same person as him more than two months ago.
Lu Jian was also quite shocked. He looked carefully at the front and found that the rankings of He Jiu and others had not changed, but there was a difference from before in the back:
Name: Su Meng, formerly known as Zhending.
Martial Arts: Seven Apertures. He first practiced the Golden Bell Shield. He is now suspected of practicing similar hard body protection skills. His spirit is stronger than the ordinary Nine Apertures and his divine power is astonishing. He mainly uses the sword in his right hand, supplemented by the sword in his left hand. His swordsmanship is not systematic but he is good at fighting. Life, the sword method has obtained the true meaning of the first and second moves of Ananda's Pojie Knife, and can be used continuously without stimulating the release of essence and blood.
With the help of the treasure weapon in his hand, he can also evolve thunderous outdoor sword moves, and when he exerts his full strength, he can deliver an almost outdoor attack. At the same time, he has become accomplished in the art of swordsmanship, refined his meaning, and ranks among everyone. He also has the means to summon thunder. ,
Achievements: Fighting against the white-headed vulture An Guoxie; in Yedu County Yamen School, narrowly defeated Wang Zai, the Shouzheng Sword, with half a move; in Jiangzhou Maoling Guanjin Garden, Jiang Hengchuan, who was shocked for hundreds of miles, retreated with his determination to kill, the situation changed, lightning flashed and thundered ; In Dongyang Beipu, Wang Siyuan was forced to use his sword to defend himself; on the streets of Jiangzhou Changchuan, he narrowly defeated Qingyu, the emperor's sword from five directions.
After running thousands of miles, outside the temple beside the Longyan Mountain Road, he encountered the demonic shadow cold palm flaming man-demons and the Luohunxiao. With one against three, he killed all the opponents. The details of the fight were unknown, but Su Meng, the mad swordsman, was carrying gold. With hard skills such as the bell jar, he is obviously better at dealing with similar situations than other top players.
Rank: Sixth.
Nicknames: Crazy Sword, Mang King Kong, Thunder Sword Crazy Monk.
Identity: Shaolin abandoned disciple, knight-errant.
After the first battle, Lu Jian couldn't believe his eyes.
Although Demonic Shadow Hanzhang once went crazy and his strength dropped drastically. As the battle deepens, the backlash will become more and more serious, making him weaker and weaker. However, it is still a half-step exterior scene of a serious breakthrough. His body skills are outstanding and his palm power is terrifying. In addition, The top-ranked flaming demon in the Shangren Demon and the famous Soul-falling Flute from the left are well matched, with distance and nearness, control and strong attack. Even if the siege is a normal half-step outdoor scene, I'm afraid it will be enough, not to mention the one with only seven orifices. Su Meng
This is unbelievable
Moreover, even if such a record ranked among the top five, no one would question it. Considering that Su Meng's skills were better at life-and-death combat and encirclement and killing, the Six Gates put him in sixth place, which was rather suspected of suppression.
It's so, so awesome. Being surrounded by three evil demons of this level and being able to kill them all was so exciting that Lu Huo was inexplicably excited. He murmured to himself, "Swordsmanship is so powerful, I really want to learn it."
Maybe it was because he was talented. Lu Jian ignored the yelling of the nephew next to him and thought about the problem by himself.
After hearing about Sword and Sword, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He felt that Su Meng's list information seemed to be different from before. It was not a reduction in record. After all, the number of words in the list was limited, and it mainly reflected the most important and latest situations. The dual skill of swords and swords has been downplayed. It seems that Su Meng no longer uses swords and focuses on knives, and the description of swordsmanship has become more and more concise.
Of course, because he did not eliminate this part of the content at once, but changed the rhetoric, Lu Jian did not think too much, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
I worked hard back then, took risks and fought many times, and wanted to be on the ranking list, but I couldn't. Now that I have just turned thirty-five, I have seen what it means to rise by leaps and bounds in the rankings, and what it means to be extremely popular.
The following rankings are not postponed, but there are a few changes. There are new people entering the list, and there are also people who have made breakthroughs or aged out of the list.
Let's go home quickly. Lu Jian held the hand stove tightly and urged his nephew. Every time he looked at the list of people, he became more and more sad, especially now when the cold wind in winter is the strongest.
Lu Huo turned his head reluctantly, walked for a while, and when he reached the bridge, he suddenly said: Second uncle, do you know which sect is best at swordsmanship
I can't use a sword or a sword well alone, so why should I use both swords
Maybe I'm good at sword coordination. Lu Huo said excitedly.
Lu Jian was about to speak when he suddenly saw a young man in green robe standing in front of him.
He stood quietly by the bridge, looking at the puzzle couplets hanging on the nearby trees with his hands behind his hands. He was wearing a green shirt and a turban on his head, looking elegant and free.
At first glance, he is not conspicuous, but if you take a closer look, you will find that this green-shirted young man forms a harmonious whole with the stone arch bridge, river, trees and ground, not a little bit more than a little bit of the whole, it seems that he is this. A world that accommodates and excludes entrants is just a matter of thought.
On a moonless night, the water is gurgling, the green trees are withered, the arch bridge is undulating, the ground is motionless, the surroundings are quiet, and the only sound of water can be heard, which makes people feel like they are in a dream. Lu Jian's expression becomes solemn, and his eyes subconsciously focus on Qingshan The young master's hands, clasped behind his back, are slender and powerful, glowing with light fluorescence, as if they were carved from jade, and possess an indescribable strange charm.
You are Lu Jian. The young man in green shirt turned his head, revealing a face with seemingly clumsy facial features, but when combined together, he revealed a face that was as magical and attractive as a god or demon. His voice was steady and thick.
Lu Jian had an idea and came to his senses: I am the one who wants to inquire about the young master.
I was entrusted by someone to find Jin Li's whereabouts. You can be sure that the place where he last appeared was Wen'an. Young Master Qingshan said calmly.
He is none other than Meng Qi. Because it is related to Yuanshi Tianzun, it is impossible to directly use his identity to investigate, and it is impossible to wear a mask all the time. Therefore, he changed his image again and appeared with a new identity by relying on the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and the disguise. .
Lu Jian looked at both sides and signaled the guards to take Lu Huo farther away, and then he held his hands and said: Your Excellency is from the Jin family.
I and Jin Li are life-and-death friends. More than three years ago, he suddenly arrived in Wen'an, said a bunch of words that seemed normal at the time but are quite strange now, and then went out in the rainy night and left his humble abode. At that time, I They didn't pay much attention, thinking that he had something to do elsewhere. It wasn't until the Jin family sent someone to inquire recently that they found out that he had been missing for several years. Calculating the time, it was the time he was in Wen'an. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
