Chapter 195 Everyone thinks I will lose [Third update, 10,000 words, please vote! ]
In the snow.
A figure in a white robe walked slowly towards them, his clothes fluttering in the wind and snow, with a butcher knife slung around his waist.
The snow under my feet made a harsh crunching sound.
Looking up at the towering Tianhan Pass in the distance, Nie Zhangqing couldn't help but let out a breath.
Half a month.
He and Li Sansi drove away the Western Rong army until the flying snow in the sky turned into an endless desert, and then they stopped.
To him, this endless desert seemed like the end of the world.
At least, in Nie Zhangqing's opinion, behind this vast desert, there is most likely nothingness. After all, he has no idea what is on the other side of the world.
Therefore, he and Li Sansi did not continue to drive them away.
Instead, he burst out at a rapid speed and returned to Tianhan Pass. After all, Nie Shuang and the others were still waiting for him.
Climbed up the city wall of Tianhan Pass.
However, he discovered that in Tianhan Pass, only Nie Shuang was left waiting obediently.
"Where are Bluebird and Luo Cheng?"
Nie Zhangqing shook off the snow on his white shirt and asked.
"Sister Qingniao went to the Imperial Capital. I heard that Jiang Li was imprisoned by the Emperor. Sister Qingniao took her chickens to break out of the prison. Luo Cheng was afraid that something might happen to her, so he went to protect her."
Nie Shuang said.
Nie Zhangqing's expression suddenly became strange.
Jiang Li is imprisoned?
It seems that a lot has happened in the past half month.
Nie Zhangqing was not in a hurry. He listened to Nie Shuang slowly telling him what was going on. He rubbed his son's big head with some tenderness in his eyes.
Even though he became a world-renowned practitioner of the Ti Zang realm, his son was still a soft spot in his heart.
After listening to Nie Shuang's narration, Nie Changqing couldn't help but sigh.
In the past half month, the changes that have taken place in the world...are not just a little bit, but huge.
It was so big that even Nie Zhangqing felt a little unfamiliar.
"Tan Tai Xuan founded the Great Xuan Kingdom, and was called the Northern Xuan King. The Overlord founded the Western Liang Kingdom..."
"This is a world of great contention."
Nie Zhangqing sighed.
He rubbed Nie Shuang's head.
"We should go back."
Nie Zhangqing said.
Afterwards, he took Nie Shuang out of the room. The Great Xuan Kingdom's cultivator army and the Xuanwu Guards guarding outside saluted Nie Changqing respectfully.
Nie Zhangqing nodded slightly.
Tan Tai Xuan led troops to attack Zhou. Every Xuanwu guard was extremely important, but he still assigned two of them to protect Nie Shuang.
"Go, help your king."
Nie Zhangqing said.
The two Xuanwu guards looked at each other, excitement flashing in their eyes.
Afterwards, he bowed to Nie Zhangqing and left the city wall, ready to join the army that would attack Zhou. The soldiers of the Daxuan Kingdom were proud to die on the battlefield!
Nie Zhangqing held Nie Shuang's hand, and the two walked in the snow and ice towards the Dragon Gate of Buzhou Peak.
It never snows on Mount Buzhou.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the flying snow.
The mountains are covered with evergreen trees and lush vegetation.
When Nie Zhangqing and Nie Shuang arrived, they saw the girl sitting on the bluestone and playing the flute.
Nie Zhangqing stared at the girl and nodded slightly. This girl gave him an extremely terrifying feeling.
He felt as if he was facing an unfathomable young master.
However, after careful comparison, Nie Zhangqing felt that Lu Fan was more terrifying.
The girl ignored Nie Zhangqing and continued playing the flute. The music was so melodious that the green plants on the Buzhou Peak swayed along with the sound of the flute.
Passing through the Dragon Gate of Buzhou Peak, we returned to the island in the middle of the lake.
Nie Zhangqing suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
"Yeah, Nie Shuang!"
When Ni Yu saw Nie Shuang, his eyes lit up and he waved.
Nie Shuang was still a child at heart after all, and he ran out at Nie Zhangqing's smile.
Nie Zhangqing walked towards the Baiyujing Pavilion step by step.
The second floor of the pavilion.
The young man leaned on the wheelchair, holding a crystal clear Buddhist relic in his hand.
Nie Zhangqing's eyes suddenly shrank as he sensed a familiar aura from the Buddhist beads relic.
It was the aura of the Buddhist monk that he encountered in the battlefield of Xi County.
Sure enough, the palm that was condensed and covered the sky at that time... Was it the young master? "Is he back?"
Lu Fan raised his head, glanced at Nie Zhangqing, and said.
"You missed my talk about the realms above the Ti Zang realm. You can ask Sister Ning or Lao Lu for more information."
Lu Fan said.
Nie Zhangqing's eyes lit up. A realm above the Ti Zang realm?
"Sir, in the past half month, Li Sansi and I have driven the Xirong people to the edge of the world, to the boundless desert, and drove these Xirong tribes into the desert."
Nie Zhangqing said.
"The edge of the world?"
Hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile.
"Are you sure that's the edge of the world?"
Nie Zhangqing was stunned, as if he heard something else in Lu Fan's words.
"You haven't walked to the end of the desert with your own eyes, so how can you say it is the end of the world? Don't jump to conclusions without experiencing it yourself."
"Perhaps, the world has no end at all. In your eyes, Da Zhou is the center of the world. In fact, Da Zhou is just a region of this world?"
Lu Fan said.
Nie Zhangqing was stunned after hearing this.
"Okay, go practice... You've fallen behind in practice for the past half month."
Lu Fan said.
Nie Zhangqing came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed, then he left the second floor of the Baiyujing Pavilion.
In the distance, Ning Zhao was sitting cross-legged and practicing. Five vortices of spiritual energy were swirling around her body, transforming into an exquisite spiritual armor, even more exquisite than his armor.
During the past half month, he expelled the Western Rong. Although his cultivation level improved, it was not obvious.
After all, he has already tempered his five internal organs. If he wants to go further, he must evolve his attribute spiritual energy.
However, comprehending the attributes is obviously not that easy.
He didn't practice much in the past half month, while Ning Zhao was practicing on an island with abundant spiritual energy. As one gained while the other lost, it was normal for him to be chased.
Nie Zhangqing glanced around and found a familiar face.
"Is it you?"
"Poor painter."
When Nie Zhangqing saw Sima Qingshan, he was surprised and couldn't help laughing.
Sima Qingshan was practicing, and he quickly stood up from the ground and bowed to Nie Zhangqing.
"Mr. Nie."
He did not dare to call Nie Zhangqing a butcher. Although Nie Zhangqing introduced himself in this way, he still knew the proper etiquette.
“It’s actually hidden in the body…” Nie Zhangqing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"When the world changed, I was lucky enough to comprehend it... and with the guidance of Young Master Lu, I have now barely tempered the second treasure."
Sima Qingshan said.
Afterwards, he bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life under the city of Nanjin. Without you, Qingshan would not be where he is today."
"I owe you a favor, sir. If you have any requests, I will go through fire and water for you."
Nie Zhangqing waved his hand.
"Saving you was just a matter of convenience, don't take it to heart."
"Have you entered Baiyujing?"
Nie Zhangqing asked.
Sima Qingshan shook his head, his patched and worn green shirt swaying. He looked towards the second floor of the pavilion and said with some regret: "Young Master Lu is unwilling to accept me into Baiyujing."
Nie Zhangqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was a bit regrettable. It seemed that the young master did not think highly of Sima Qingshan.
"Young Master Lu told me to establish my own sect in the martial arts world and create a Hundred Schools of Thought among the practitioners."
Sima Qingshan said.
"Now that I have met you, sir, and thanked you for your kindness, it is time for me to set off."
Sima Qingshan smiled, put on his bookcase, bowed to Lu Fan on the pavilion, and also bowed to Ni Yu and others. Then he took out the brush and scroll made for him by Gongshu Yu, splashed ink to make an ink boat, and boarded the boat away.
Nie Zhangqing looked at Sima Qingshan's departing back, his eyes gradually becoming fixed.
There are more and more rising stars.
As the changes in heaven and earth began to unfold, the Ti Zang realm no longer seemed as difficult as before.
If Nie Zhangqing didn't work harder on his cultivation, he might be overtaken and left behind by others.
Nie Zhangqing let out a breath and continued to ask Ning Zhao about the details of the young master's sermon and the realm above body storage.
Lu Fan on the pavilion looked at Nie Zhangqing, who had a sense of urgency, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Having pressure is a good thing.
Pressure is motivation, and competition brings progress.
Lu Fan was really looking forward to who would be able to become the first person to reach the Heavenly Lock Realm, break through the barriers of low-level martial arts, and enable the Five Phoenix Continent to achieve middle-level martial arts.
Because, judging from the current situation, it seems... anyone could be involved.
Lu Fan held the Buddhist beads relic in his hand.
Of course, he did not do nothing in the past half month.
He deduced Buddhism through the [Furnace of All Dharmas] and also made many insights and reflections on Buddhism.
The three paths of immortality, demons, and Buddhas, today's Lu Fan can be said to have integrated these three into one.
"It's almost time to finish the world upgrade assessment mission..."
Leaning against the wheelchair, enjoying the spiritual breeze from the lake, Lu Fan pondered.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although the wanderers were suppressed and dealt with by Lu Fan early on, Lu Fan had not yet dealt with the soul of the blond man and the soul of the King of Xirong, so the mission progress has always been 3/5.
Now that the Buddhist and Taoist studies are complete, it’s time for Lu Fan to consider upgrading the world.
Zhongwu...he was really looking forward to it.
As for the war that has broken out in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Fan did not intervene.
This is an era of great strife. He has no reason or need to stop it.
The rise and fall of a dynasty is inevitable.
even……
Lu Fan had a vague, immature idea, which was to increase the luck of the world's dynasties.
The theories of dynasty dragon energy and fortune can allow the contemporary emperor to take an alternative path to success.
Of course, Lu Fan just had this idea. When the time comes, he can ask Lu Dongxuan to make arrangements.
Nie Zhangqing had been expelling Xirong for half a month, which gave Lu Fan a reminder.
Although Lu Fan had raised the level of the Five Phoenix Continent, he was not sure whether there were other countries besides the Five Barbarians outside of the Great Zhou. However, Lu Fan had tried it before and found that he could "see" the depths of the desert that Nie Zhangqing mentioned. Beyond the depths of the desert, there seemed to be a vast expanse of land...
I wonder if anyone will survive the desert and reach that vast land after Nie Zhangqing and others drive Xirong into it? Lu Fan leaned against the wheelchair and pinched his brows.
There were so many things to think about that he was really busy.
…
The Great Zhou was unjust, so the whole world attacked it.
These words resounded throughout the Great Zhou.
Under the leadership of the Overlord, the Xiliang cavalry crossed the Dongyan River and marched towards the imperial capital in a mighty force.
Tan Tai Xuan established the Great Xuan Kingdom, called himself the King of Bei Xuan, and personally led a large army to the north to attack Zhou.
The governors of many large counties were hesitating, and many aristocratic warlords were making decisions.
The momentum of the two giants to attack Zhou was like a prairie fire, and it was difficult to stop.
The Master has passed away, Jiang Li has been imprisoned, how can this sick deer of the Great Zhou Dynasty withstand the attack of a tiger and a lion?
Therefore, many aristocratic families and major counties were hesitant about which side to support.
Once they make a choice, it means that they will put their entire fortune into this big fight.
Whichever side loses the war, all the efforts made will be in vain, and even a century-old foundation may be destroyed.
Of course, in addition to these two parties, the world is also paying attention to Nanjun.
Originally, everyone thought that Nanjun would also separate from the Great Zhou and establish its own country like Tan Tai Xuan and Ba Wang.
After all, although Nanjun failed in the Northern Expedition and suffered a heavy blow, Jiangnan has been a rich area since ancient times, and with Nanjun's wealth, it may not be impossible to fight.
Therefore, many people are waiting for Nanjun's response.
But……
Nanjun did not respond.
Tang Xiansheng didn't react at all, and neither did Tang Yimo.
This was far beyond people's expectations.
…
Imperial capital.
Zijin Palace, morning court.
Yuwen Xiu sat high on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe that was spotless.
All the officials below were silent.
Everyone was feeling threatened, with looks of fear on their faces. Some ministers had already decided to pack up their belongings and secretly leave the capital after this morning court session.
Once the Great Zhou is destroyed, they will be afraid that the crazy Yuwen Xiu will drag them down with him.
The old eunuch stood respectfully beside Yuwen Xiu, without saying a word.
Yuwen Xiu felt the atmosphere in the court. It was such a familiar feeling.
At that time, the armies of North County and South County were at the gates of the city, and the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also in a state of panic.
but……
Although Yuwen Xiu was the emperor at that time, he did not control anything. He was just a puppet and even had to depend on the ministers for his words.
And now, everything in the Zhou Dynasty's court is under his control.
He was very satisfied with this feeling.
"Do you have anything to say about the rebels' attack?"
Yu Wenxiu said lightly.
No one in the court dared to speak.
Yu Wenxiu tapped the armrest of the dragon throne with his fingers, "No, then let's adjourn the court."
After he finished speaking, Yuwen Xiu stood up. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the ministers below. How could Yuwen Xiu not understand what these guys were thinking?
These people may be in a hurry to go back and pack up and escape.
However, if they could ever step out of the Imperial Capital, then he, Yuwen Xiu, would no longer be Yuwen Xiu.
"Everyone thinks I will lose, but... do you really think that without Kong Xiu and Jiang Li... I will be a lamb to be slaughtered?"
Yu Wenxiu clenched his fists under his dragon robe.
He turned his head and looked at the old eunuch: "Order someone to take Jiang Li to the Imperial Garden. I want to see him in person."
Yuwen Xiu said.
The old eunuch's eyes suddenly narrowed.
However, he still bowed slightly, "Yes."
Yuwen Xiu turned away and went straight to the imperial garden.
There was an unpredictable light in the old eunuch's eyes.
He let out a long sigh.
With a hunched back, he went to the dungeon of the imperial city.
In the Imperial Garden.
Yuwen Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, his dragon robe straight.
He looked at Bitang, then raised his head toward Longmen, his eyes as sharp as torches.
Although the imperial teacher died in battle in Dongyang County, Jiang Li was thrown into prison.
but……
Does Yuwen Xiu really have no helpers?
No……
He, Yuwen Xiu, also has the greatest helper, and that is the Black Dragon!
Far more help than Kong Xiu and Jiang Li!
It is very quiet in the Imperial Garden.
Among the Thirteen Black Dragon Guards, two were wearing light armor and black dragon masks, standing by to protect Yuwen Xiu's safety.
Boom! The lake water exploded.
A black dragon rushed out of the pool, and a violent, fishy smell filled the air.
Yuwen Xiu took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the black dragon's head. Wisps of black air lingered out from the black dragon's body and wrapped around his body.
The black dragon has undergone a lot of transformation.
The black scales became even more brilliant and dazzling, and faintly, there was a hint of blood in the black.
Two of the four bulges on the black dragon's abdomen had broken open, and two sharp claws were placed on the edge of the pool, breaking it into pieces.
The two bulges on the top of the black dragon's head also showed signs of breaking.
Behind.
The old eunuch walked in front and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Li is here."
Then, there was the sound of the Black Dragon Guards' armor and chains colliding.
Jiang Li's hands and feet were shackled with iron chains and he was taken to the front of the Imperial Garden.
Snow was falling from the sky and Jiang Li's hair was a little messy, but he raised his head and stared at Yuwen Xiu, staring at the black dragon emerging from the pool.
A terrifying evil aura emanated from the black dragon, as if melting the snow in the sky.
Yuwen Xiu turned around.
The black dragon's eyes also rolled.
Jiang Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
I just felt that at this moment, the eyes of Heilong and Yuwen Xiu almost overlapped.
