Chapter 185: Can the myriad ways of cultivation lead to immortality? [First update, please give me a monthly pass]

Li Sansi held his breath and kept running, finally arriving at Tianhan Pass in the dark.

With hot air coming out of his mouth and heavy snow drifting in the dark night, he climbed up the city wall under the guidance of the border soldiers.

Because it was snowing, the moonlight in the dark night was hidden behind thick dark clouds, not a single ray of light could be seen through.

All the soldiers of Beijun stationed at the border knew who Li Sansi was. Although Li Sansi had previously blocked the Beijun army with his own body on Mount Buzhou, it was undeniable that Li Sansi had made contributions by roaming around the border and fighting against the Rong soldiers.

"Is it over?"

Li Sansi, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood in the snow, his robe fluttering, and murmured.

Beside him, a Beijun general in armor nodded.

"This battle was very difficult. The Xirong army came out in large numbers, led by the powerful Xirong King. If the practitioners from Baiyujing had not come to support them, Tianhan Pass... would have fallen at this moment."

The general said.

Li Sansi had mixed emotions.

He looked at the battlefield outside Tianhan Pass. The endless yellow sand was covered by heavy snow. The bloodstains on the ground and even the bodies of some soldiers were completely obscured.

However, Li Sansi could still suddenly feel the murderous aura coming towards him.

He had anticipated how brutal your battle would be.

If his lateness led to the breach of Tianhan Pass, the vast land of Beijun would be ravaged by the Western Rong soldiers.

Then Li Sansi might feel so guilty that he can't help himself.

"But it was also because of my late arrival that too many Northern County soldiers died... I cannot escape this fault."

Li Sansi raised his head, the cold snow fell on his face, melted into snow water, and flowed across his cheeks.

Raise the wooden sword.

Li Sansi knocked on the mottled bluestone of the Tianhan Pass tower with his wooden sword.

He kowtowed three times in a row, as if he was swearing something.

Under the astonished gaze of the Beijun generals, Li Sansi's Taoist robe fluttered as he jumped down from the city wall.

"I will go after the Xirong army... I will make up for the mistakes I made."

Li Sansi's voice floated in the rustling snow.

On a cold night.

A thin figure in Taoist robes, holding a wooden sword in one hand, walked away on the snow with a determined look.

The soldiers on the city wall were full of admiration. The general looked at Li Sansi's receding back with admiration.

There was a complicated look on his face.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can do what Li Sansi did, chasing down the 100,000-strong Western Rong army with just a sword.

This kind of heroism is envied and yearned for by the world.

…

South County.

The moon is bright in the night sky.

Tang Xiansheng sat in the courtyard, lying on a rocking chair, listening to the messages and intelligence dictated by his attendants.

Hearing about the battle outside the city of Nanjin, the victory was hard won.

Only then did Tang Xiansheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Even he, had been feeling anxious from the beginning of the battle till now.

He was very afraid of losing the battle, as the Five Barbarians were clearly invading the Zhou Dynasty with great force.

"I heard that it was the help of the strong men from the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Pavilion, as well as the swordsman Jing Yue from Baiyujing, that stopped the Nanman army."

The attendant bowed.

"Did even Baiyu Jingdu intervene?"

"Sure enough, Bai Yujing should have anticipated something a long time ago."

"The immortal fate has begun to spread in the world. Yi Mo can get the immortal fate, Beiluo Lu Shaozhu can get the immortal fate, and those Wuhu people can also get the immortal fate."

Tang Xiansheng murmured, looking at the bright moonlight and smiling: "In the eyes of the 'immortal', all people in the world may be equal. He controls the entire world and controls the balance of the world."

"But once the Five Barbarians obtain the chance to become immortals, they will naturally become greedy and invade our Great Zhou, intending to cause chaos in our Great Zhou and destroy our beautiful mountains and rivers, and want to repeat the Five Barbarians' invasion of Zhou."

"Fortunately, now is the era of Baiyujing."

"In terms of the power of cultivators, Baiyujing is number one in the world. What can the Five Barbarians do?"

Tang Xiansheng smiled.

"By the way, is there any news from the Imperial Capital?"

Tang Xiansheng asked.

He still paid close attention to the news from the Imperial Capital. Today, Nanjun had lost the capital to compete for the world, so he had to pay more attention to the things happening in the Imperial Capital.

The attendant's expression changed, and he said, "The letter has already been delivered to the Imperial Capital, but..."

"But what?"

Tang Xiansheng's rocking chair stopped rocking. He slowly stood up and coughed.

The attendant hurriedly covered Tang Xiansheng, who was still seriously ill, with a thick blanket.

"I heard that the news of the barbarian invasion from West County was also reported to the Imperial Capital, but the Emperor ignored it. He seemed to have not heard of the news from South County and West County, but the news from North County... The Emperor sent an imperial decree to Tianhan Pass, but the specific content of the imperial decree is unknown."

"Moreover, after the emperor issued the order, the imperial master left the library, prepared a carriage, left the imperial capital, and headed east."

The attendants followed Tang Xiansheng.

"The Imperial Master is heading east, probably to Dongyang County..."

"It seems... the little emperor has disappointed the imperial teacher."

Tang Xiansheng smiled.

"The little emperor is still not mature enough, or maybe the Black Dragon Guards have made him a little lost..."

"Power is something that can be both beneficial and harmful."

"I hope the Emperor's decree to Beijun will not be too extreme. If it is too extreme, in this extraordinary period, with the bad temper of the old villain Tan Tai, I'm afraid... he will do something shocking."

Tang Xiansheng smiled, covered his mouth, and coughed lightly, leaving a few spots of bright red on the white handkerchief.

"Alas, birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature..."

"It's a pity that Beiluo Lu Ping'an didn't see me. If possible, I really want to ask."

"Can all these various ways of cultivation lead to immortality?"

Tang Xiansheng looked up at the bright moon and shook his head. His figure under the moonlight looked a little desolate.

…

Imperial capital.

The heavy snow made the long streets of the imperial capital quiet at night with no one wandering around.

Except for the patrolling garrisons, the imperial capital looked like a lifeless dead city.

Downstairs of the Imperial Capital City.

In front of Kong Nanfei, two men in black robes were leading horses that were breathing out hot air. They nodded respectfully and took two letters from Kong Nanfei.

"Send one to North County, and one to West County. Don't mess things up."

Kong Nanfei ordered solemnly.

The two men in black robes stuffed the envelope into the seam of their shirts and hid it tightly.

"Commander Kong, rest assured. The people are here... the trust is here."

Kong Nanfei nodded.

Snowy night.

Two men in black robes mounted their horses, the sound of horse hooves exploded, and the snow on the ground was blown up. One went north and the other went south.

Kong Nanfei retreated back to the imperial capital.

The city gate suddenly closed, shaking off some of the white snow on the city wall.

The two men in black robes rode their horses and went their separate ways when they reached a fork in the road.

In the dark night, snowflakes are falling.

When the two of them had traveled about ten miles through the Imperial Capital...

Suddenly.

Crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the official road.

Phew!

A sharp crossbow arrow pierced through the belly of a horse, and the neighing sound exploded in the dark night.

The horse fell to the ground, causing the man in black on the horse to fall as well. He rolled in the snow before getting up.

Crash...

The fallen leaves on the trees in the dense forest along the official road fell.

One after another, the Black Dragon Guards wearing light armor slid down from the trees.

The blade reflected the dazzling light of the white snow on the ground, causing the black-robed man's expression to change.

"The Emperor's personal guards, the Eighteen Black Dragons!"

The man in black robe took a deep breath.

Without hesitation, he turned and left.

Many of the Black Dragon's personal guards wearing light armor drew out the spiritual energy from their Qi pills and rushed out at high speed.

This man in black robe is also a cultivator, and there is energy gathered in his elixir. However, how can he escape the pursuit of so many Black Dragon Guards?

They were soon overtaken and a battle ensued in the snow.

The accumulated snow was blown up and scattered into snow foam with distinct particles.

The battle ended quickly. After all, the Black Dragon Guards had the advantage in numbers.

The white blade pierced through the flesh, tearing it apart, and blood splattered, dyeing the snow red.

The man in black robe lost his life.

A Black Dragon Guard found the envelope from the black-robed man's chest.

After taking a quick glance, he grabbed the envelope and led the Black Dragon Guards to retreat.

It was snowing heavily.

Only the black-robed man was left lying in a pool of blood on the snow, staring at the snow falling from the sky.

…

The two men in black robes were ambushed almost at the same time.

Died on the spot.

Kong Nanfei had not anticipated these things. After all, he was not Lu Fan and had no idea what was happening more than a dozen miles away.

Imperial capital.

The old eunuch walked quickly, swinging his whisk.

Deep in the imperial city, the Purple Gold Palace.

The dim candlelight was burning, emitting a dim light, illuminating the deep courtyard of the imperial palace.

Inside the palace, all the eunuchs and maids were dismissed, leaving only Yuwen Xiu, sitting on the dragon throne.

The old eunuch pushed the door open and entered.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Then he saw Yuwen Xiu holding the black dragon sculpture and observing it.

This scene seemed a bit weird.

It made the old eunuch shiver all over.

"His Majesty……"

The old eunuch said.

Under candlelight.

Yuwen Xiu raised his head and looked at the old eunuch.

That glance made the old eunuch's heart tighten. Suddenly, the old eunuch felt that Yuwen Xiu's eyes at this moment were somewhat familiar.

It was just like the eyes of the black dragon.

"What is it?"

Yuwen Xiu put away the black dragon carving and looked at the old eunuch with a frown.

"Your Majesty's personal guards, the Eighteen Black Dragons, followed your Majesty's orders and intercepted and killed the two messengers outside the Imperial Capital's official road."

The old eunuch said.

"oh?"

Yu Wenxiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"If there are any seized letters, please send them up immediately."

“Yes.”

The old eunuch bowed, took out two letters and handed them to Yuwen Xiu.

Yuwen Xi took the blood-stained letter from the old eunuch, tore open the seal of the envelope, and read the contents of the letter in the dim candlelight. The more he read... the brighter his eyes became.

Finally...it turned into a roar of laughter.

The old eunuch had not read the content and had no idea what Yuwen Xiu was so happy about.

But from Yu Wenxiu's smile, it can be seen that the content of the letter... must be extremely important.

"You are indeed my good teacher, my good national teacher..."

Yu Wenxiu narrowed his eyes and his smile faded, as if a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

"Did I... not do well? What did I do wrong? Why do you all want to rebel against me and leave me?!"

After laughing to the end, Yuwen Xiu clenched his fists and said unwillingly.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, but he did not move.

"No wonder I have always felt strange. How could the great master who planned and strategized, who dared to go alone to interview all the Confucian scholars, retreat to the library so easily? It turns out that he had already laid out the plan."

"We have already laid out the chess pieces that will bring ruin to West County and North County!"

"The game has been set. It won't be easy to undo it now!"

…

Beiluo, an island in the middle of the lake.

Figures walked out one after another from Yinglong Dragon Gate.

Jing Yue carried the Jingtian sword, Nie Zhangqing carried a butcher knife, and Lu Mu and others held a bamboo stick. They returned from various counties and returned to the island in the middle of the lake.

On the island.

Ni Yu, who was blamed for the crime, couldn't help but light up his eyes when he saw these familiar figures.

Ning Zhao, who was still practicing, gradually calmed down and slowly opened his eyes.

Ni Yu excitedly waved at Jing Yue and others.

Nie Zhangqing, dressed in a white shirt, strode over.

He looked at Ning Zhao in the distance, "Not bad, the five internal organs are almost tempered..."

His realm was similar to Ning Zhao's, but with the help of the previous sudden change in heaven and earth, he had tempered his five internal organs in one fell swoop.

Ning Zhao had obviously learned a lot from that sudden change in the world.

"Where's Nie Shuang?"

Nie Zhangqing, holding a butcher knife, glanced at the island in the middle of the lake, and his expression gradually became cold and serious.

"Nie Shuang and Bai Qingniao went to the Beijun battlefield."

Ning Zhaodao.

"With Nie Shuang's current strength, there shouldn't be any danger when he goes to the Beijun battlefield."

However, Nie Zhangqing's expression changed.

"Ning Zhao, you don't know... this time the Five Barbarians' Rebellion is not ordinary!"

Nie Zhangqing, who had been calm and composed, suddenly looked very ugly.

However, he still suppressed his worries about Nie Shuang. Although he had always been very strict with Nie Shuang, in Nie Zhangqing's heart, Nie Shuang was his most precious son.

"Where's the young master?"

However, Nie Zhangqing suppressed his anxiety and asked.

"The young master came out of seclusion and left the pavilion, and went up to the lake. Now it is shrouded in thick fog, and we can't see clearly what the young master is doing on the lake."

Ni Yu, who was taking the blame, took a sugar-coated Qi Gathering Pill and said.

Nie Zhangqing frowned, not knowing what the young master was doing.

He originally wanted to ask the young master about the strange changes in the world that happened that day, but now he has to go to Beijun first.

If there were people like the Buddhist monk and the blond man in Beijun, Bai Qingniao and Nie Shuang might not be able to deal with them.

Nie Zhangqing took a deep breath, but he didn't care about anything else. He entered Longmen again and rushed to Beijun.

Jing Yue and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They obviously also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Nie Shuang has not experienced many battles. Can he... do it?"

Jing Yue also frowned in worry.

He was a little annoyed.

If I had known this, I would have warned Nie Shuang before leaving that if he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat... he had to run first.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Boats are floating on the lake.

Lu Dongxuan and Lu Changkong also came by boat.

When I got to the island, I found that everyone was gathered together.

Lu Fan was still in seclusion in the thick fog. They could not get into the fog and could only stand on the island and watch.

Lu Changkong saw Jing Yue and others returning.

They asked with concern about the situation on their respective battlefields.

Jing Yue held the Jingtian Sword and quickly recounted the story of how he had killed so many people in the battlefield of Nanjun.

Lu Changkong had an impression of the cruelty of war after hearing his description.

When I learned that there was an enemy on the battlefield that could produce earth spikes.

Lu Changkong and the others all had slightly changed expressions.

"Are there also people with immortal fate among the southern barbarians?"

"Perhaps, the reason why the barbarians stopped fighting for three months was because of these Five Barbarians who were destined to be immortals!"

"The Five Barbarians invaded Zhou. It seems Faner had anticipated this."

Lu Changkong took a deep breath.

Lu Dongxuan touched the big gold chain around his neck and squinted his eyes.

suddenly.

The looks of everyone who was chatting on the island changed slightly.

because……

The thick fog that covered the lake began to sweep in.

Faintly, there seemed to be the roar of evening drums and morning bells and the sound of chanting resounding in everyone's ears.

Mingyue, the girl holding the pipa, shuddered all over.

How could she not know this voice? Wasn't it the Buddhist name chanted by the Buddhist monk when he put his palms together in the battlefield of Nanjun? But she saw the thick fog rolling, sweeping out a vague Buddha's shadow, covering the sky and the sun.

It exudes a grand and supreme oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly.

A faint sneer came from the thick fog.

A silver blade tore the Buddha statue apart.

The Buddha statue collapsed to the sides, and in the thick fog...

The calm surface of the lake is rippling with waves.

Lu Fan, sitting upright in a wheelchair, slowly emerged from the collapsed Buddha statue.
