Chapter 422 Yuan Lao Sword Immortal (nearly 20000 words super chapter)
The explosion of The West Chamber set off a frenzy in the Chang'an bookstore world.In the beginning, this frenzy of following suit was limited to the entire bookstore circle.But then it went completely out of circle.Restaurants, teahouses, and even all places you can think of basically feature elements of The West Chamber.

The reason is naturally the same, The West Chamber is too popular, as long as you can get close to The West Chamber, you can follow it and become popular.

It's not shabby to make money.

However, as long as something goes out of the circle, the negative and negative effects of following the trend will make people become depressed.

The most obvious one is Liyuanxing.

Since The Story of the West Chamber has been adapted into a play, all major Liyuan companies are also competing to perform this hit drama.

But everyone's taste is different.

The Romance of the West Chamber is created on the basis of the working people and ordinary people.Its creative perspective determines that it will definitely satisfy the ordinary people.But it is not so friendly to other classes, especially the ruling class.

The feudal ruling class may not be aware of anything when they first saw it.But over time they will realize the problem.

The Romance of the West Chamber reveals the sharp contradiction between free love and feudal ethics, and criticizes the feudal ethics' serious constraints on human nature!
How could these well-educated feudal ruling classes fail to see this!

It might be okay if it’s just the dissemination of books, but if the dissemination of drama is added, the overall dissemination speed will be faster and the dissemination area will be wider.For a while, all the streets and alleys in Chang'an City were talking about The Story of the West Chamber, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying.

Since then, the court can't ignore it.

Especially when Emperor Xianlong recollected it, he realized that he could no longer let The Story of the West Chamber continue to be popular.

He finally caught the black hand and dealt a heavy blow to The Story of the West Chamber.

Emperor Xianlong decreed that all bookstores in Chang'an City are strictly prohibited from publishing any books related to The Romance of the West Chamber from now on, that is, not only the Romance of the Western Chamber itself, but also the extra episodes, sequels, prequels, side stories, and companion chapters of The Romance of the West Chamber are not allowed to be published.

Once found out in the future, the bookstore will be shut down immediately, and the manager and staff of the bookstore will all be sent to prison and punished severely.

For a while, the situation in Chang'an City was turbulent, and everyone was in danger.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong's attack on The Romance of the West Chamber was not limited to the book itself, but was comprehensively suppressed.

The severity of the suppression is unprecedented, and the intensity of the suppression is unprecedented.

Liyuanxing was the most severely damaged.The leaders of the major Liyuan teams were taken away by the Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion and sent to prison for interrogation. The Liyuan team had no leader for a while.

With the manager absent, Liyuan Xing was also banned from performing The Story of the West Chamber, and the entire Liyuan industry was in chaos.

Some derivatives of The West Chamber, such as dolls, blind boxes, etc., were also suppressed.

It can be said that the suppression and destruction of "The West Chamber" can be said to be of a pure and overwhelming nature.

And it was so sudden that people were not prepared at all.

After Wangcai heard the news, his eyes were darkened, and he was completely stunned.

He had thought that Emperor Xianlong would not be a son of man, but he never thought that this dog emperor would be such a dog and be so shameless.

This is simply not a way out.

Writing a book of Liaozhai became popular and blocked.

I wrote another book of The West Chamber, which became popular again, but was blocked again.

Emperor Xianlong is sincerely against brother Mingyun, right?
Could it be that Emperor Xianlong recognized that this book was written by brother Mingyun?
Impossible, the styles of Liaozhai and The West Chamber are completely different.

If judged only from the style, the two can be said to be irrelevant.

If it is judged from other levels, it is even more impossible.

pen name?The pseudonym is re-started ah.

Wangcai really wanted to cry for a while, but his first reaction was to go to find Zhao Xun and cry to him.

"Brother Mingyun, have you heard that this is a catastrophe for The Story of the West Chamber and its entire related industries. After being affected by this, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to relax for a while."

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Once the imperial court makes a move, it is not a question of whether to take the breath slowly, but a question of whether it can survive.

Judging from Wangcai's description just now, it can be said that this time the court is determined to completely ban The Story of the West Chamber.

Since then, Romance of the West Chamber has basically disappeared.

"In the beginning, I thought The Story of the West Chamber would be popular for a long time, but I still underestimated Emperor Xianlong. I didn't take this factor into consideration. I really made a mistake."

Zhao Xun was very helpless, Emperor Xianlong was simply his disaster star.

Basically, as long as there is a place where Emperor Xianlong haunts, Zhao Xun will be very sad, and he will be restrained to death.

Zhao Xun felt very confused for a moment.

"Oh, brother Mingyun, I still can't figure out what went wrong. Where did Emperor Xianlong see the clue and wanted to ban The Story of the West Chamber?"

Wang Cai was puzzled by this.

In his opinion, he did everything seamlessly, so he should not be noticed by the court or Emperor Xianlong.

But judging from the facts and results, everything seemed to be within Emperor Xianlong's expectations.

"I think the problem may still lie in the bookstore."

Zhao Xun said without hesitation.

"The bookstore is still your Pan family's bookstore. A bookstore has published two fire books in a row. I think Emperor Xianlong will probably think in this direction."

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he could only think of this kind of explanation.

Because to him, Emperor Xianlong's choice was actually very strange.

Emperor Xianlong didn't seem to notice it at first.But over time Emperor Xianlong figured out something.Then immediately ordered a comprehensive ban on The Story of the West Chamber.

It is impossible to say that Panji Bookstore of Wangcaijia did not have some influence during the publicity.

The knot in Emperor Xianlong's heart really hasn't been solved yet.

At this moment, Zhao Xun could clearly feel that Emperor Xianlong's eyes were as small as the nose of a needle.

You say that it’s fine for Panji Bookstore, but in the end you have to target a series of other bookstores and the major industries derived from them, such as Liyuan Bank, restaurants, teahouses, etc.
This is a bit too much.

Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads. Is this going to kill them all?
"What, did he notice something strange because of the book published by my Pan's Bookstore?"

Wangcai felt very depressed when he heard this.

He really couldn't accept the result.

When I heard this, I felt extremely uncomfortable.

"This fellow is a real dog. He simply won't give us a chance. I just want to give him a hard kick."

Seeing Wangcai's angry look, Zhao Xun wanted to laugh.

"Wangcai, is that all?"

"Ok?"

Wangcai looked at Zhao Xun cutely.

"One foot is too little."

Zhao Xun scolded with a smile: "I have to give this son of a bitch a few more kicks, so that I can relieve my anger. Otherwise, I always feel like it's not enough. It's best to kick me like a eunuch."

"Uh"

Wangcai burst out laughing when he heard the words.

Hahaha, only Zhao Xun dared to say such a thing.

Although Wangcai gritted his teeth with hatred for Emperor Xianlong in his heart, but because he was influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since he was a child, it was basically difficult for him to say such things as kicking the emperor into a eunuch.

This requires a thought that breaks through instinct, and a thought that is extremely contemptuous of imperial power.

Obviously, at present, Wangcai does not have this kind of thinking.

However, Wangcai is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

For him, after such an inspiration from Zhao Xun, his whole person became open-minded.

After that, if he reprimanded Emperor Xianlong again, he would definitely add some new words, instead of repeating so many words like before.

"However, this incident actually reminded us to some extent, that is, we should never pin our hopes on others. Especially a dog emperor like Emperor Xianlong."

At this moment, Zhao Xun seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Wangcai, think about it. At present, Emperor Xianlong's control over books and operas is still quite strict. Therefore, if we want to write books and go out of the book route, we must avoid any At present, if Pan Jishufang continues to publish books, it will definitely not work. Emperor Xianlong has seen some clues, or simply suppressed the Pan family because of his displeasure. For us The results are all the same. I know that you have put a lot of thought into the promotion and operation of The Story of the West Chamber, so we must do a good job of considering the risks in advance. Only in this way can we ensure that Emperor Xianlong will not be caught."

Wangcai obviously listened to Zhao Xun's bitter words.

Wangcai said with a lot of emotion: "It's still careless to say one thousand and ten thousand. The dog emperor is very ghostly, full of bad water, as long as he catches the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes, so we can't give him a chance at all. If he catches the opportunity, we basically have no chance of turning around. There is no way to concentrate power in the hands of the dog emperor. Unless we change the emperor, we still need to be more cautious. of."

Zhao Xun is a very realistic person.

Of course he would also scold Emperor Xianlong and scold his dog emperor.

But going back to another level, since I want to eat this bowl of rice, since I want to hang around in this circle, I still need to make some adjustments.

If you blindly go to the end with only one direction, the result can be imagined.

Emperor Xianlong's fierceness is reflected in various aspects, and Emperor Xianlong's fearfulness is also vividly reflected.

If you can't avoid being affected in all aspects, you may basically be culled by the imperial power.

"So I will continue to write books in the future. But this time when writing a book, I must pay more attention. Pay attention to the pen name, title, and content. What needs more attention is the bookstore that publishes the book. It is best not to directly It's related to your family. It's much safer this way. Otherwise, I always feel that the conversation will suddenly become cold."

"Uh"

Wangcai listened carefully to what Zhao Xun said, and instantly felt that it made sense.

Brother Mingyun, brother Mingyun, the knowledge is different.

Wangcai was still at the stage of cursing the streets just now, so Zhao Xun was able to think about the next step in an all-round way.

Really strong.

Of course, Zhao Xun is quite sure of one thing, that is, he must not have the temperament of Emperor Xianlong to mess around, and he will come when it is time to show strength.But not through the situation of the manuscript.

After all, Zhao Xun wants to make money by writing books.To educate Emperor Xianlong, there are other ways to deal with him.

These still need to be able to distinguish clearly.Otherwise, it's just making things difficult for yourself, and it's completely unnecessary.

"Actually, I always feel that the reason why Emperor Xianlong deliberately suppressed The Story of the West Chamber seems to have something to do with the recent changes in the times."

"The recent wind change?"

"That's right. The situation has changed a lot in recent years. In the past, the feudal ethics' blockade of human nature and love between men and women was quite obvious, but recently it seems that the ability and level of its blockade have declined in all aspects. It is also difficult for me to explain which aspect of the reason this is, but it can be seen from the details that it is basically aimed at this knife."

"Um"

Wangcai knew that Zhao Xun's judgment was usually fine.

So he didn't go back to question Zhao Xun's judgment.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Zhao Xun said was quite reasonable.

If he only considered it from Emperor Xianlong's own point of view, there was absolutely no need for him to make such a sudden move and engage in such a big battle.

This movement is about to catch up with the last Buddha extermination operation.

But that was decades ago, when Emperor Xianlong was just a prince.

This was considered to be the most ruthless time since Emperor Xianlong came to power.

As such.
If you think about it carefully, you can know that this matter is not simple.

Emperor Xianlong was able to do this, not only because of his personal likes and dislikes, but because of his judgment on the overall rule and his understanding of the ruling class.

So Mingyun's position is indeed very high.

"So when I write my next book, I still need to pay more attention to this aspect. Otherwise, if the dog emperor grabs the handle and beats me hard, I will be numb."

Zhao Xun laughed helplessly after laughing at himself, "Do you think so, Wangcai?"

"Uh"

Wangcai felt helpless for a while.

But he felt that there was really nothing wrong with what Zhao Xun said.

"Brother Mingyun is right, I think we still need to think more and practice more."

"Of course, there is no need to worry too much. After all, I can still hold my own in general."

Zhao Xun's grasp of the scale in this aspect is just right.

What to write and what not to write.What can be written and what cannot be written.

At first glance, these are actually difficult to grasp, but Zhao Xun has a thread in his heart.

In his view, as long as this line is not crossed, there is basically no problem.

If the line is crossed
The consequences can be imagined.

Alas, to survive in such a feudal era, one must adapt to the rules of the game.This is also impossible.

Next, Zhao Xun will have to think carefully about the new book he will write next.

The first thing to be determined is the subject matter of the new book. Only after the subject matter of the new book is determined, can the next things be determined.Otherwise, it is basically difficult to determine the specific content.

The determination of the general direction is the first.

"Well, Wangcai, do you have any directional suggestions? For example, which aspect should I focus on in my next new book?"

"Uh, well, brother Mingyun, you asked me."

Wangcai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "To be honest, I really don't know which aspect of this new book you should write. But I can give you some suggestions."

"Ok?"

"Tell me."

"First of all, you can write the part you are most familiar with. Writing the plot you are most familiar with will make you completely relaxed. Writing the plot you are most familiar with can save you from worrying about being uncomfortable at all."

Wangcai paused and said: "When writing a book, you must ensure that what you write is not too homogeneous. This is really critical. You must know that if the homogeneity is too serious Readers won’t buy it if it’s a book.”

When Wangcai said this, he took a meaningful look at Zhao Xun.

Of course Zhao Xun understood what he meant, Wangcai was worried that he would run out of talents, so he could only write the same subject matter as before.

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this, let alone other things, but I think I can easily handle different themes."

Zhao Xun patted his chest and said, "You have to know that I have a nickname, that is the Ever-changing Little Expert. I can easily control any subject matter, and I can master any subject matter just right."

Zhao Xun continued confidently: "Also, never give up until the last moment, and never give up on yourself until the last moment."

Zhao Xun said very calmly: "Wangcai, you just take care of it. From now on, everything will be covered by me."

This is a sword mound.

An unknown sword mound in Zhongnan Mountain.

Dongyue Jiange Sword Master Wei Wuji held his sword behind his back with one hand, staring at the sword mound in front of him in a trance.

He has not been here for a long time.

But when he entered this sword mound again, there would still be ripples and waves in his heart.

For Wei Wuji, being able to recognize himself is not a simple matter.

There have been many times when he thought he could recognize himself, but the result was disappointing.

The results time and time again proved that Wei Wuji did not recognize himself.

So rather than saying that he was defeated by the head of the mountain, it is better to say that he was defeated by himself.

Rather than saying that he was defeated by the head of the mountain, it is better to say that he was defeated by his own sword.

Wei Wuji once boasted that he could shake the world with one sword and be invincible with one sword.

But when he really faced Shangshanchang, Wei Wuji found that he was not as strong as he imagined.Instead of being so strong, he showed a weak side.

Wei Wuji at this moment is really very depressed.

He found that he couldn't bring up any ruthlessness in front of the head of the mountain. He found that he was as weak as a child in front of the head of the mountain.

That being the case, what else is there to fight?

That being the case, what else is there to fight for?

That being the case, what is there to fight?

That being the case, what is there to go on?
So Wei Wuji lost that battle.Not only was he defeated, but he was completely defeated, without any hope at all.At that time Wei Wuji really realized what despair is.

It was a utter despair, a heartfelt despair.

Since then, Wei Wuji swore that he must go back to Chang'an City and the Academy again, and he must take back what he had lost with his own hands.

Now Wei Wuji is really back.He did what he promised.

He dared to face himself, dared to face his past.

Wei Wuji didn't think it was so difficult to face.

Is it so difficult to face your past failures?

Wei Wuji found out that it was actually not as difficult as he imagined.

When he set foot on the land of Zhongnan Mountain again, Wei Wuji felt extremely relaxed and natural.

Because everything makes him feel very comfortable.

It is indeed very comfortable.

What Wei Wuji can do at this time is to accept everything calmly.

After all, he wanted to make a settlement with the academy.After all, he wanted to make a settlement with the head of the mountain.The grievances and grievances of the old days must be understood by the people of the old days.

Of course, now is not the time.

Wei Wuji is going to visit an old sword god.

This old sword god lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for many years.

Still there.

He is the neighbor of the academy and the neighbor of Shan Chang.

More importantly, this person is the old sword master of the first generation of Dongyue Kingdom.

This person's name is Yuan Mei.

Yuan Mei debuted in the arena 30 years ago, and was in the limelight for a while.

At that time, Yuan Mei was extremely capable of fighting. As soon as he debuted, the whole world was turbulent, and the whole world was disturbed as soon as he debuted.

However, the mountain leader happened to debut not long ago, and the two met at Zhongnan Mountain.

That meeting, the two undoubtedly chose to fight.

They are all young men with full-blooded vigor, so they naturally showed great aggression and aggressiveness.

Whether it was Yuan Mei or the head of the mountain, at this moment, they all displayed the aura that an absolute strong should have.

At that moment, Yuan Mei even had a chance to defeat Shan Zhang.

Although the head of the mountain at that time was not the best in the world, he could still be called an unborn genius.

But Yuan Mei didn't lose the wind in the slightest, and every sword showed its extreme strength.

Shan Chang used boxing techniques, while Yuan Mei used sword techniques.

The two sometimes intertwined and sometimes entangled together, that battle can be described as protracted and dark.

After fighting for three days and three nights, the head of the mountain broke the sword in Yuan Mei's hand with two palms.From that day on, Yuan Mei completely obeyed the head of the mountain.

He decided to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and collected the swords of practitioners from all over the world to form the Zhongnan Mountain Sword Tomb.

He wanted to use this sword mound to remind himself of the humiliation of being defeated by Shan Zhang back then.He wanted to use this sword mound to remind himself that he hoped to be able to come out of the rivers and lakes again and completely wipe out the prestige of the mountain chief.

But this wait is 30 years.

Yuan Mei has not made another move in the past 30 years, perhaps because the time has not come, or maybe other reasons.

No one knows, no one in the world knows.

But Wei Wuji is here, and he wants to visit the old man of Dongyue Jiange in person, and also learn from him, to see how to have a chance to defeat the mountain chief.

The biggest impression of Jianzhong is that it is broken.

It's just too broken.

Dilapidated, dilapidated, broken.

A sense of dilapidation revealed from inside and outside makes people feel very sad.

"Well"

Wei Wuji took a deep breath, and then strode forward.

He did have a little hesitation before, but it didn't take long before he made up his mind to continue walking inward.

For Wei Wuji, every decision he makes right now is crucial.

If he can reach an acquaintance with Yuan Mei, or even become a close friend, it will be very beneficial for him to deal with the head of the mountain.

Of course, taking ten thousand steps back, it doesn't matter even if the skills taught to him by Yuan Mei and Yuan Lao Jianxian can't help him smash the mountain leader.

Because defeating the head of the mountain can only be regarded as revenge, but killing Emperor Xianlong is revenge.

There is a big gap between revenge and revenge.

Wei Wuji is well aware of this gap.

So his first choice must be Emperor Xianlong.

Only after successfully assassinating Emperor Xianlong and beheading Emperor Dog, would he further consider challenging the head of the mountain to avenge his shame.

Before killing Emperor Xianlong, Wei Wuji would definitely not blindly go to war with the academy, and it would definitely not be a good thing for Wei Wuji after making many enemies like this.

Of course, Wei Wuji's state at this moment is still quite good. He keeps a calm mood and restrains his sword and fighting intentions, so that he can avoid being discovered by the people of the academy as much as possible.

One must know that this sword tomb of Yuan Mei, the old sword fairy, is actually not far from Zhongnanshan Haoran Academy.

It is not difficult to sense Wei Wuji's sword intent with the magical powers of those old fellows in the academy.

So Wei Wuji didn't want to gamble.

If you gamble at this time, the risk is too great.

That's why Wei Wuji restrained all his sword intent at this moment, so that even no one knew that Wei Wuji, the current great sword god of Dongyue Jiange, had ever been here.

Wei Wuji at this moment is no different from an ordinary mortal, and Wei Wuji at this moment is clearly a mortal.

There are all kinds of swords around the sword mound.

The styles and appearances of these swords are different, and the casting process is different. It looks rusty on them, and it really looks very old.

but
At this moment, Wei Wuji did not appreciate the meaning of the swords in these sword mounds. He had only one goal, and that was the old sword god Yuan Mei hidden behind the sword mounds.

Today, Wei Wuji has to go to pay a visit to Old Sword God Yuan no matter what, and let Old Sword God Yuan understand that the descendants of Dongyue Jiange are endless, and there are successors.

He is the pride of Dongyue Jiange.He is the hope of Dongyue Jiange, and he is the tomorrow of Dongyue Jiange.

This is a thatched house.

The walls are made of rammed earth, and the top is suspended with thatch, which is like a chicken coop.

Looking at it from a distance, it gives people a rather contemptuous feeling.

Wei Wuji glanced around coldly, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Does Old Sword Immortal Yuan live here?

For a moment Wei Wuji felt a little puzzled.

Senior Yuan Mei was also the last Jiange Pavilion Master of Dongyue, how could he endure living in such a dirty environment?
Wei Wuji was very puzzled for a while.

So he decided to step forward himself and find out what was going on.

"Well"

The current situation seemed a little strange to Wei Wuji.But he won't stop.

Because Wei Wuji knew very well that stopping was a very stupid behavior.

When he walked within ten steps of the thatched cottage, he could obviously feel a strong aura attacking him!

Clank.
For a moment Wei Wuji heard the sound of flying swords rising from the ground.

That's right, as a sword fairy, he can't hear it wrong, this is definitely the sound of flying swords rising from the ground.

Either the sound of unsheathing, or the sound of rising from the ground!
At this moment, Wei Wuji was quite sure that it was the flying swords stuck in the sword mound that rushed out.

hiss.
At this moment Wei Wuji gasped.

For him, if he wants to ensure that he will not be hurt by these flying swords, he must force out his true energy to protect his body.

But in this way, his previous behavior of restraining his breath and pretending was invalidated.

So next, he is very likely to be discovered by the academy, and it is very likely that he will be discovered by the head of the mountain.

But if he didn't force out his breath, it wouldn't be a problem that might be discovered by the head of the mountain and discovered by the academy. It is very likely that Wei Wuji would die here directly!
You must know that this is the sword of the former Dongyue Jiange Sword Master Yuan Meiyuan.

Senior Yuan was a top swordsman who lost to the head of the mountain back then!
These days, even if the realm has declined slightly, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

In Wei Wuji's view, it should not be underestimated.

The time left for Wei Wuji to think is actually not too long, all Wei Wuji can do is to react as much as possible.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Wuji still made a decision.

He decided not to hesitate to force out the true energy to protect the body.

For a moment, a powerful Gang Qi burst out from Wei Wuji's back, as vast as a dazzling star stone.

In an instant, Wei Wuji was radiant!

The powerful protective cover protected most of Wei Wuji's body.

In this way, Wei Wuji didn't have to worry about the flying sword hurting him at all.

Sure enough, these flying swords stopped when they flew a few inches away from Wei Wuji, hanging in the air, looking very miraculous.

Wei Wuji didn't think there was any secret joy, because he knew that Yuan Mei and Yuan Laojianxian's strength was far more than that.

So far, Old Sword Immortal Yuan has not exerted any force at all!
Wei Wuji knew very well that now he had to ensure the most basic vigilance, because only in this way could he be able to respond in time when Old Sword Immortal Yuan used his ultimate move.

Wei Wuji came here to pay a visit to Old Sword Immortal Yuan, so he kept his posture very low.

But no matter how low your posture is, you must at least ensure that you don't have to worry about your life.

Otherwise, everything is meaningless.

Wei Wuji was highly concentrated and nervous, and he could feel a sharp sword intent all around him.

It's not these flying swords floating on the surface, but a long sword.

If Wei Wuji is not mistaken, this long sword is Yuan Meiyuan's natal sword - Qinghong Sword.

A Qinghong sword made the Dongyue Jiange famous back then, and entered the eyes of all mainstream immortal cultivators.

A Qinghong sword allowed the swordsmen of the Dongyue Jiange to hold their heads up and their chests out of other practitioners' reluctance.

So Wei Wuji admires Yuan Mei and Yuan Laojianxian very much.

But no matter how much he admired him, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

Because he knew that this Qinghong sword could kill people invisible within an inch.

Wei Wuji didn't want himself to be a sacrificial offering to this sword, so he had to be more cautious.

No response, at least so far Wei Wuji has not received a response.

No response was the best news for him.

But Wei Wuji knew very well that this situation would not last, Yuan Mei and Yuan Laojianxian would definitely show up in a short time.At that time, his whole body will be under great pressure!
"Clearly"

At this moment Wei Wuji heard the clank again.

But this time it wasn't the sound of one or two flying swords, but a long sword, that's right, the sick Qinghong sword.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was ready to face the challenge head-on.

For him this battle was inevitable, and for him this battle meant a lot.

For him, this battle can be regarded as the most critical battle.

"Come on, let's have a hearty fight."

Wei Wuji made a formal announcement.

He didn't want to be pestered endlessly like this anymore.

Swordsman vs. swordsman, sword fairy vs. sword fairy, after all, you should use the sword to greet, after all, you should use the sword to compete, after all, you should use the sword to solve problems.

The destination of a swordsman is the unity of the sword and man, and the destination of a swordsman is to prove himself with the sword.

Of course Yuan Mei knew this.

So he couldn't stand the excitement at all.

The fierce sword intent that surged out in an instant made Yuan Mei come straight towards Wei Wuji who was in the distance with a powerful sword energy.

"Sword come!"

A sword came from the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Wei Wuji didn't have any fear either.

The current situation is not dire for him.

Swordsman vs. swordsman is his favorite duel.

To be honest, Wei Wuji is still somewhat arrogant.

He doesn't look down on other practitioners, thinking that other practitioners are not cultivating the Dao.

The only avenue in the world is the way of the sword, and the only avenue in the world is the evergreen way of the sword.

At this moment, Wei Wuji could clearly feel the pressure imposed on him by Yuan Mei.

The lingering aura that expanded from the sword completely enveloped Wei Wuji at a certain moment.

At this moment, Wei Wuji did feel a trace of panic.

But his mood dissipated immediately.

Because for him, there is nothing to be afraid of at this moment.

After all, he is the current sword master of the Dongyue Jiange, and the other party can only be regarded as the former sword master of the Dongyue Jiange.

From generation to generation, talented people come out, and new generations replace old ones.

The same is true for swordsmen and kendo practitioners.

Wei Wuji is very clear that his current hard power is higher than that of his opponent.

"Draw your sword."

Wei Wuji could hear Yuan Mei's voice.

Although the sound actually came from the abdominal cavity, Wei Wuji could still hear it very clearly.

"Draw your sword, don't hesitate any longer."

The voice from Yuan Mei seemed to be urging Wei Wuji, with a hint of disdain in it.

Wei Wuji is in his prime, and he is also a super master, how can he be so fierce.

Immediately, Wei Wuji drew his sword without hesitation.

The blood weeping sword came out, and everyone was terrified.

Wei Wuji practiced Xeon Swordsmanship.

The so-called Xeon Sword Dao must maintain domineering.

Only with a sense of domineering, can you show your strongest strength when facing your opponent, and you will not be at a disadvantage when facing your opponent.

At least for now, Wei Wuji has nothing to fear.

He drew his sword without hesitation, and confronted Yuan Mei!

Blood Weeping vs. Qinghong Sword, the duel between the new and old sword masters of Dongyue Jiange has begun.

But as soon as it started it was over.

Because Wei Wuji's sword broke directly.

Wei Wuji stared at the half-broken sword in his hand in astonishment, not knowing what happened during this period.

There is no doubt that when the sword was broken, his confidence collapsed.

Wei Wuji couldn't believe that the natal sword that had followed him for many years could be broken so easily.

And the person who broke his natal sword was none other than his predecessor, the former master of the Dongyue Jiange, the old sword fairy Yuan Mei.

Can this be said that everything is preordained in the dark?
At this moment Wei Wuji was really dumbfounded.

So what should he do?
What should he do now?
"Defeated? That's it?"

At this time, Yuan Mei, Yuan Laojianxian let out a sigh.

"The young people nowadays are really not as good as the previous generation."

For a moment Wei Wuji's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

In fact, what Yuan Mei and Yuan Lao Jianxian said didn't have any problems, he was indeed defeated, he was indeed defeated quite thoroughly, quite without any suspense.

At this moment, Wei Wuji only felt ashamed.

"Old man."

"There is no need to say any more. I know you are from Dongyue. I also know that you are the current head of Dongyue Jiange. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed strong with that sword just now."

When hearing this, Wei Wuji's eyes widened.Totally can't believe what's happening.

"what do you mean"

Wei Wuji was already a little choked up at the moment.

"You just kept your strength and didn't use your full strength?"

"Of course."

Yuan Mei raised his eyebrows in disdain and said, "If the old man had used all his strength just now, you would have broken at least one arm by now."

Although Yuan Mei said that the cloud is calm and the wind is light.

But to Wei Wuji's ears, he was very shocked.

The broken arm was said so easily by Yuan Mei, as if it was not much different from cutting off a chicken wing.

Is this the confidence that comes from the top Great Sword Immortal?
At this moment, Wei Wuji really felt a little apprehensive.

The gap between him and Yuan Mei Yuan Lao Jianxian is so big.

"Senior Yuan is mighty, and this junior is ashamed. I have offended you just now, and I am really beyond my control."

"Forget it, you youngsters like to do these vain things. Instead of doing these things, you should spend more time on improving your martial arts. At least you won't be beaten by us old men. "

"Uh"

Wei Wuji was speechless for a while.

Indeed, he didn't expect that the gap between him and Yuan Laojian would be so big.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand that he was defeated in front of the head of the mountain.

Because the mountain chief didn't use his full strength at the beginning, and he didn't need to use his full strength at all.

The mountain leader may have used his full strength when he fought Yuan Mei back then, but that was because Senior Yuan was strong enough that the mountain leader had to use his full strength.

But Wei Wuji didn't have this strength, so even if the head of the mountain didn't use all his strength, he could easily defeat Wei Wuji.

From the perspective of combat power comparison, it is more in line.

Because Wei Wuji was also easily defeated by Yuan Mei and Yuan Laojianxian.

This shows that Wei Wuji has nothing to do with these two, and he has no chance of winning.

The older generation of cultivators back then were really terrifying, and they were simply a one-sided hammer against the newcomers!

A drop hammer, indeed a drop hammer.

This time Wei Wuji was really convinced.

The reason why he was not convinced at the beginning was mainly because he had never confronted Yuan Mei.

This kind of battle between old and new sword masters has always been very fierce.

You never know who will be the winner until the last moment.

The key to victory lies in the size.

Don't look at the long way of swordsmanship, in fact, it can be classified as one or two.

The duel between masters has always been like this, and the difference can be seen in every move.

Of course, at present, no one can completely gain the upper hand against Yuan Mei.

Except for one person, this person is the head of the mountain.

The strength of the head of the mountain is quite powerful. Just one shot can make people feel panic, and just one shot can make people feel a sense of fear.

That feeling really comes from within.

After Wei Wuji experienced it once, he didn't want to experience it again.

Today's situation is basically not much different.

Although Yuan Mei didn't have the terrifying suppressive power of Shan Zhang, it still gave Wei Wuji a great impact.

According to Wei Wuji's current strength, it is basically difficult to challenge Yuan Mei.

And he could feel that Wei Wuji still had some strength left.

In this case, Yuan Mei is really too strong.

Obviously Wei Wuji didn't want to have a confrontation with Yuan Mei.

He came here this time to visit the old man and learn from the old man.

It was just a helpless shot.Now that everything has returned to calm, it is natural for Wei Wuji to return to a normal state.

"My next Wei Wuji pays respects to Senior Yuan."

Wei Wuji respectfully showed Yuan Mei the etiquette of a junior.

This etiquette can be regarded as giving Yuan Mei enough face.

After all, in theory, they are all Jiange disciples, and they have all been the heads of Dongyue Jiange.

From this point of view, it can indeed be said to be of the same strain.

It's just that Wei Wuji was born decades later than Yuan Mei, and the two of them have never had a direct exchange.

But everything changed completely with today's meeting.

At this moment, Yuan Mei has become quite mature, and has long lost the youthful and frivolous nature of the past.

On the contrary, when he sees Wei Wuji now, he can more or less see some shadows from that year.

In fact, in Yuan Mei's opinion, Wei Wuji's strength is not that weak.

It just pales in comparison with Yuan Mei.

Compared with some of his peers, Wei Wuji is obviously better at it.

Of course, Wei Wuji would not feel any better because of this.

Because losing is losing.What's more, he was still a complete and brittle defeat.

The defeat was complete, and there was no suspense in the defeat.

For a moment, everyone can realize that all this is different.

Wei Wuji naturally knew it well.

So no matter how senior Yuan Meiyuan comforted him at this moment, Wei Wuji would feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Old Sword Immortal Yuan, to be honest, this junior came to visit senior this time because he really wanted to ask senior for advice on something important."

Wei Wuji had never shown such humility in front of anyone.But this time he went all out.

Because what he was facing was not someone else but Yuan Mei.

Where Yuan Mei's status is, so is his strength, and he is also the former head of the Dongyue Sword Pavilion of the direct line.

Even if Wei Wuji showed some humility towards him, there would be no major problem.

At least Wei Wuji felt that Yuan Mei would definitely not spread the word when he saw anyone.

"Go ahead."

Yuan Mei exhaled lightly, and said calmly.

It has to be said that Yuan Mei at this moment seems to be quite immortal.

Even with Wei Wuji at the side, it's hard to compare.

The strength and demeanor embodied by the older generation of sword immortals are still quite strong.

"To be honest, the junior came to visit the senior this time mainly because he wanted to ask the senior how to challenge the mountain leader. How to have a chance to defeat the mountain leader."

The words Wei Wuji used were how to have a chance to defeat the Shanzhang, rather than saying that he must be able to defeat the Shanzhang.

Because the head of the mountain is still quite powerful in his mind.

Under such circumstances, Wei Wuji still had to maintain some sense of awe.

If not, the pressure it faces can be said to be quite great.

Wei Wuji knew that there was a gap in hard power between himself and the head of the mountain, and of course the gap in other aspects was not small.

So he put his posture very low, and he regarded himself as a challenger from the beginning.

In this way, even if something really went wrong, Wei Wuji would not feel any discomfort.

but
As a practitioner, as a top practitioner.

Wei Wuji must still have a competitive heart.

So as long as there is a fight, as long as there is a fight, more or less he still wants to win.

All these attitudes were vividly expressed in his speech just now, and they are also vividly displayed at this moment.

Of course Yuan Mei also felt it.

He is not a hypocritical person, so he can understand Wei Wuji's true thoughts in an instant.

"That's right, very good. It's really good that the young people nowadays have such an idea. The old man thought that the young people today are a bunch of arrogant and unruly people who like crazy ridicule."

Yuan Mei lightly stroked his beard, and said lightly, "But the old man thinks you are pretty good. At least you have shown good sincerity at the beginning. Well, if that's the case, then it's okay for the old man to give you some advice."

Wei Wuji was overjoyed when he heard the words.

This is exactly the result of his long-awaited.

The old sword fairy Yuan Mei is a great sword fairy in the beginning of the world, and he enjoys a great reputation even in this Jianghu.

Decades have passed, the rivers and lakes have long been replaced by newcomers, but Yuan Mei's reputation as the old sword fairy remains.

Just from this point, it can be seen that Old Sword Immortal Yuan is an extremely powerful figure.

Wei Wuji felt very lucky to be able to confront such an incomparably powerful character.

Wei Wuji also felt quite lucky to be able to consult such a great person at such a close distance.

Not everyone can have such a good opportunity.

Wei Wuji's current luck is indeed very good, at least in a short period of time, it has been full.

"Well, the old man actually didn't expect you to challenge the head of the mountain. But you did, so the old man will comment on one or two."

Seeing Wei Wuji's sincerity, Yuan Mei naturally wanted to give some advice.

After all, for Wei Wuji, any improvement in strength is the key.

For a cultivator of his level, it would be extremely difficult to raise even one level.

"Do you know what is the biggest gap between you and the head of the mountain? The head of the mountain is actually not an invincible person, he also has his own weaknesses. But he is very good at covering up his weaknesses, especially in front of his enemies. In his own In front of the enemy, the head of the mountain will never show his weakness no matter what. You can't do this. The reason why the head of the mountain is so strong is because he summed up some experience when he accepted the constant challenges of practitioners in the world. These experiences may seem similar at first glance, or may seem extremely ordinary. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is a hidden edge in it."

Wei Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this.

In fact, he also knew that the head of the mountain could not be truly invincible.

But practitioners all over the world say so, and most people really believe it.Over time, people in the world really think that the mountain chief is the best in the world.

Wei Wuji has always felt that the head of the mountain has weaknesses, and he has been working hard to find the weaknesses of the head of the mountain.It's a pity that Wei Wuji didn't find the weakness of Shan Zhang.He is already trying hard.But still can't do it.

This made Wei Wuji very disappointed.

He didn't understand why things had become like this.

Could it be said that the head of the mountain really has no weaknesses?

For a moment Wei Wuji felt a little suspicious.

But now it proves not to be the case.The head of the mountain does have weaknesses, but the head of the mountain has already covered up these weaknesses well.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to see the so-called day of the head of the mountain, and it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to figure out where the weakness of the head of the mountain is.

At the beginning, Shan Zhang's ability to hide his weaknesses was relatively unfamiliar.

But after a period of hard work, this ability has been greatly improved.

So much so that in the end the head of the mountain was able to hide his weaknesses without trace.

It is actually not easy to do this, not everyone can be as calm as Shan Zhang showed.

But the head of the mountain did act so calmly that Wei Wuji admired him a little.

"Dare to ask Senior Yuan, how did the head of the mountain manage to hide his weakness, and what is his weakness?"

"Nobody knows."

Yuan Mei sighed, and said with a wry smile: "If the old man knew this, he would not have been defeated by the head of the mountain. The strength of the head of the mountain is indeed unfathomable. The key is that his ability to correct mistakes is really strong. A person is not afraid that he will not make mistakes, but that he has a strong ability to correct mistakes after making mistakes. And his reaction time is extremely fast. After doing these things in a short period of time, he can easily complete the adjustment. This is Yamachoichi A bit scary."

Yuan Mei's words undoubtedly caused Wei Wuji's interest, which had been brought up with great difficulty, to fall into the ice cave in an instant.

Difficult, if even Yuan Mei and Yuan Lao Jianxian couldn't find out the weakness of Shan Zhang, Wei Wuji felt that it would be even more difficult for him to do so.

To be a comprehensive practitioner must always have strong creativity from the beginning, must have strong insight from the beginning, and must have strong judgment from the beginning.

Only by possessing these three abilities at the same time can one not be at a disadvantage in a duel and be able to show the strength that a strong person should have in a duel.

If you don't have these three qualities, you will actually face quite a lot of pressure.

"Well"

Wei Wuji sighed and said: "The younger generation understands, it means that although the head of the mountain has a weakness, at least no one has really grasped it so far."

"Yes, if someone can really master it, wouldn't he be able to challenge the number one in the world? In fact, there must be a reason why the number one in the world is the number one in the world, and it also has hard power. This kind of Under normal circumstances, if you want to become the number one in the world, you must have a quality that the number one in the world does not have."

Although this sounds a little bit convoluted.

But Wei Wuji thought about it carefully, and the black one was quite reasonable.

It is not an easy task to ensure absolute calm.

But in order to defeat the head of the mountain, keeping calm is almost a must.

Only by ensuring calmness can one be able to make accurate judgments in duels.

It is also possible to achieve a perfect review analysis after the duel.

Old Sword Immortal Yuan understood very well, no one in this world can discover the weakness of Shan Zhang.

It stands to reason that the number of mountain chiefs who challenged is not small, but they have never recovered the flaws of the mountain chief.

Could it be that the head of the mountain is really so unfathomable?Not even the slightest flaw will be revealed, won't it be given?

After thinking of this, Wei Wuji felt terrified.

If a person can be so powerful, then he is no longer essentially different from a god.

Although the head of the mountain has not ascended, he is actually better than ascending.

Ascension or non-ascension is not so important anymore, at least in Wei Wuji's view, the head of the mountain is no different from the gods in the sky.

From this point of view, what Wei Wuji has to face is indeed an almost impossible task.

How much effort would it take to defeat such a half-human, half-immortal being?

The point is that these are not things that can be achieved with just hard work, and the strength that needs to be displayed still requires quite a lot.

If you can't show so much strength, you won't even be qualified to fight Gen Shanchang.

Wei Wuji once challenged the head of the mountain, and realized that the head of the mountain is terrible.

That is really just a look that has great lethality.

The head of the mountain is so powerful, Wei Wuji really doesn't know how to cut in.It seems that no matter how he cuts in, he will face tremendous pressure.

Once the pressure came, all Wei Wuji could do was in vain.

"Actually, why do you always want to challenge the head of the mountain? Is it to unravel your knot?"

Yuan Mei seemed to see what Wei Wuji was thinking at the moment, and tried his best to comfort him: "Actually, it really doesn't have to be like this. With your current strength, as long as you don't confront the head of the mountain, even if you fight against any great master in the world, you won't be able to fight." You will be at a disadvantage. In other words, even any great master in the world has almost no chance of winning against the head of the mountain. In this case, why do you still want to challenge the head of the mountain? Since it is doomed not to be the number one in the world, then go It’s not out of the question to be number two in the world.”

Uh.
Wei Wuji felt his scalp go numb when he heard this.

In fact, he really thought about this issue seriously.

But it's one thing to think about it yourself, it's another thing to be said so by senior Yuan Meiyuan.

Wei Wuji still felt ashamed.

At least at this moment he felt very ashamed.

Competing to be number two in the world?

Practitioners in the world really have thick skins.

Although when Wei Wuji was just practicing kendo back then, a martial arts senior told him that if he wanted to become a top practitioner, he must have a very thick skin.

The thicker a person's skin is, the stronger the blow he can bear.

A person can only grow if he bears a great blow.

And only by constantly bearing blows and constantly improving yourself, can you really have a chance to improve rapidly.

Wei Wuji's current strength is not weak, but he has entered a bottleneck period.

The so-called bottleneck period is the stage that is difficult to break through.

No matter how hard you try at this stage, you just can't take that step.

Failure to take that step means that Wei Wuji cannot surpass the mountain leader.

So from this point of view, wanting to surpass the mountain leader is tantamount to nonsense.

It's not easy to stay calm.

Many top practitioners will have hot-headed moments.

Especially when in front of people, no one is willing to admit that they are really worse than Shan Chang.

As long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely try their best to try and show themselves.

As long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely try their best to try to make a breakthrough.

Once a breakthrough can be achieved, everything that follows will be different.

But Wei Wuji knew that it would be difficult for him to challenge the head of the mountain.

Because even Yuan Mei and Yuan Lao Jianxian said that Shan Chang's realm is unfathomable.

The strength of Old Sword Immortal Yuan is a whole class higher than that of Wei Wuji.

Facing such a huge gap, Wei Wuji really didn't know what to say for a while.

"If you think about these things earlier, you can save yourself a lot of troubles. In fact, looking back now, these fame and fortune are nothing but vain. There are no people in this world who don't want to fight for fame and fortune, but in the end they got it What? I’m afraid they won’t get anything? If that’s the case, what’s the point of fighting for fame and fortune? If so, what’s the point of fighting for fame and fortune? Put yourself in the right position, and strive to improve your cultivation. Only compare yourself, not others. Then you will find that the bottleneck is not so difficult to break through."

Uh.
Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

After hearing what Yuan Mei and Yuan Lao Jianxian said, Wei Wuji was enlightened and enlightened.

For a moment, Wei Wuji finally showed joy on his face.

Yes, why do we have to fight for the number one in the world.

In fact, the so-called number one in the world is nothing more than a name that is too vain to be vain.

In this case, even being number one in the world would not be able to bring much to Wei Wuji.

What's more, with his current strength, it is still too difficult to surpass the head of the mountain.

So it's really better to concentrate your energy and focus on improving yourself.

Ascension is not such a difficult thing. Ascension can make a person's strength and realm breakthrough in all aspects.

It is not impossible for Wei Wuji to take another step up.

The super master is above the ascension.

The fact that the head of the mountain did not ascend does not mean that Wei Wuji cannot ascend.

The mountain chief didn't ascend because he disdained ascending.

But Wei Wuji really hopes to ascend.

In the final analysis, this is a matter of attitude.

The head of the mountain is nostalgic for the fireworks in the world, but Wei Wuji wants to go to the sky to see the scenery.

The scenery in the sky is beautiful, the scenery in the sky is very attractive.

Wei Wuji felt that as long as he had the chance, he would try it no matter what.

"This junior has another question I want to ask you."

Wei Wuji has completely trusted Yuan Mei at this moment.

Therefore, Wei Wuji will think hard about everything Yuan Mei said at this moment.

He will try his best to discern the useful things in Yuan Mei's words.

Of course, not everything has to be tasted and used, but some useful ones can still be picked out.

"Say it."

"The junior wants to know how to kill the Great Zhou Emperor."

If challenging the head of the mountain is a dispensable decision, but killing Emperor Xianlong is what Wei Wuji must do.

There is a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, and if they don't report it, they will die together.

In many cases, Wei Wuji has absolute subjectivity.

Especially in the case of Emperor Xianlong, Wei Wuji had almost no room for change.

No matter what, he will try hard, no matter what, he will try to kill Emperor Xianlong.

"Kill the emperor? You want to kill Emperor Xianlong?"

Yuan Mei lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for many years, of course he knew that Emperor Xianlong was not a son of man.

But even so, Yuan Mei didn't think anyone could kill Emperor Xianlong.

Unless the head of the mountain is murderous and decides to do it himself, Emperor Xianlong's head will grow steadily on his neck without any risk of moving.

"It's not easy for you to kill the emperor. The old man is not saying that there is a problem with your cultivation level. Although your cultivation level cannot beat the head of the mountain, you can easily deal with a mere Emperor Xianlong."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Wei Wuji quickly asked: "So why do you say that killing the emperor is not easy?"

"Because killing the emperor means that you have to deal with not only the emperor alone, but also the entire court, and even the entire empire."

"Uh…"

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with what Yuan Mei said.

"Tsk tsk..."

"In the current situation, it is best for you not to be murderous, but..."

Yuan Mei paused and said: "But if you really want to kill, then this old man can give you some advice."

Yuan Mei said without hesitation: "It is best to rely on the hands of the Academy."

"... "

Wei Wuji thought he would spit out some kind words, but who knew that was it?

"You are serious, Senior Yuan, you mean that I can only deal with Emperor Xianlong under the guise of outsiders? Only then can I kill him!"

When it came to the word "kill", Wei Wuji bit the word very hard, obviously with deep resentment.

At this moment, Wei Wuji's emotions really collapsed.

"That's right. Although Emperor Xianlong broke up with Zheng Jie at the moment, there are still two strong opponents beside him. Yuan Tiangang and Master Huiyan, who can you beat with confidence? Not to mention if the two join forces, you will be even more helpless." What a chance."

When Yuan Mei said this, he had no mercy at all.Because in his opinion, showing Wei Wuji merciful later on is what hurt him.

Sometimes it is necessary to speak clearly, and it is good for everyone to speak clearly.If it is procrastinated, it will cause the rhythm to collapse.

"... "

Wei Wuji's complexion was ashen at the moment.

For Wei Wuji, he really wanted to take revenge with his own hands.

Killing Emperor Xianlong with his own hands is completely different from killing Emperor Xianlong with the help of others.

Wei Wuji still wanted to do it himself, and felt that it would be more enjoyable.

Otherwise...

I always feel very aggrieved, very helpless.

"If they team up, I really can't beat them. But senior Yuan, these two guys must always be by the dog emperor's side?"

"Not necessarily. But can you guarantee that you can firmly grasp this opportunity?"

"call…"

Yuan Mei's question caused Wei Wuji to fall into complete silence.

The current situation can be said to be a rather difficult question for Wei Wuji to answer.If he said he could, it was obviously an aggressive move.If he says he can't... that's even more a sign of loss of confidence.

So no matter what he says, it will not be an easy choice.

"I'd like to give it a try."

After much hesitation, Wei Wuji still made a choice.

"Oh. Why are young people nowadays so stubborn."

Yuan Mei seemed a little helpless when he heard this.

For him, Wei Wuji's best choice right now is to keep silent.

Keep silent, and use the hands of others to kill the emperor better and faster.

Otherwise, it is basically difficult to hurt a hair of the emperor.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, even Master Huiyan and Yuan Tiangang, there will be other masters.

Wei Wuji can indeed have an absolute advantage against them, but the advantage may not necessarily be converted into a victory.

So Yuan Mei really sweated for him.

Of course, since Wei Wuji had already made a decision, Yuan Mei actually had no good solution.

Apart from following Wei Wuji's words, there is basically no good way.

"If you really want to kill him with your own hands, you can only wait for the opportunity. I can only say that your chances of succeeding in the palace are almost zero. So if you want to do it, the best way is to wait until Emperor Xianlong leaves the palace Start the killing ring again."

Yuan Mei was very indifferent when he said this, like a cold stone.

At this moment, Wei Wuji understood.

"Thank you, Old Sword Immortal Yuan, for your suggestion."

He always thought that his hard power was not enough, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even kill a mere Emperor Xianlong.

If you want to kill a dog emperor, you must try all possible possibilities at present.

If he can't try this possibility, he really doesn't have much chance.

But even if there is only the slightest chance, Wei Wuji has to try hard.

Of course, if he really couldn't succeed, he would try his best to kill Emperor Xianlong with the help of the head of the mountain.

Because if he doesn't do it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

The first thing Wei Wuji wanted to ensure was the death of Emperor Xianlong.The second is to kill with your own hands.

So if he can't kill it with his own hands, the best choice is to borrow someone else's hands.

Regardless of whether Wei Wuji is willing or not, this is true.

It doesn't matter whether he wants to or not.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Wei Wuji was limited in what he could do. At present, he could only reluctantly accept all the existing things in order to gain the slightest chance of killing Emperor Xianlong in the future.

For this possibility, Wei Wuji will do his best.

...

...

"Master, if you were asked to rank Jianghu Wulin for swordsmanship, how would you rank it?"

In fact, Zhao Xun could have asked the third senior brother Long Qingquan this question.

But Zhao Xun didn't do this, because he knew that the third senior brother would definitely not maintain an objective attitude in this way.

Once this type of ranking is involved, the third brother Long Qingquan will definitely rank himself quite high.

In this case, the ranking will lose its fairness and objectivity, and it will be meaningless.

But if there is anyone in the academy who knows how to master swordsmanship, it is probably only his teacher, Daoist Qinglian.

Daoist Qinglian's understanding of kendo is very profound, even far superior to that of some veterans of kendo.

So Zhao Xun felt that it was most appropriate for him to ask his teacher this question.

"Well…"

Qinglian Daoist Wu Quanyi felt dizzy for a while after hearing Zhao Xun's question.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

This is the usual way of saying it.

"Martial arts rankings have always been highly subjective, and everyone has their own ideas, so it is difficult to come up with an answer that satisfies everyone."

"But since you asked this question, I will give you a ranking as a teacher, but it is for reference only."

Most people are unwilling to do this kind of ranking. Apart from being difficult to be objective, there is also a very serious problem, that is, it will offend people.

They are all practitioners, and they are all mixed in the rivers and lakes.If you rank this boss higher and that boss lower, then some bosses will definitely not be satisfied.

If these two big brothers happen to be rivals, then the trouble will be even bigger.

"The number one sword master in the world today should be Yuan Mei, the sword master of Dongyue back then."

Dongyue Jiange?

Zhao Xun became vigilant instinctively when he heard about Dongyue.

Because in his opinion, Dongyue Jiange is actually a very troublesome thing.

The guys in Dongyue Jiange were all arrogant.

It's fine to be arrogant, but they still like to dance.

Jumping on your face to perform all kinds of show operations, who can stand it instead.

and so…

The best thing to do is just ignore him from the start.

If they continue to jump, they will be shot to death directly.

"What does this Yuan Mei have to do with Wei Wuji?"

"Actually, there is no definite relationship. There is no blood relationship between the two, nor are they masters and apprentices. So for them, the only thing in common is that they have both been the heads of the Dongyue Jiange. That's all. Oh , if there is one more thing to pick out, it is that they all use swords."

good guy...

Zhao Xun thought that his mentor really knew how to joke.

Once the joke started, Zhao Xun didn't know how to answer it.

"Men, other than this, is there any other relationship besides this?"

"No more. The teacher doesn't know if the two have met, but the relationship between the two is definitely not considered familiar."

Qinglian Daoist Wu Quanyi cocked his legs while nibbling on the watermelon with gusto.

That extreme feeling is really enviable.

I have to say that the mentor really knows how to enjoy it.

Enjoying life itself can really bring people a different feeling.

Because this will make people feel that this is a very pure person.

It's really not easy to keep pure and original.Zhao Xun even felt that the mental age of his mentor Qinglian was only three years old.

"So why do you rank this Yuan Mei at the top of the Sword Immortal Ranking?"

"Because he is strong."

Daoist Qinglian said without hesitation.

"Since we want to make a ranking list, isn't it just based on strength? It's clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker."

Daoist Qinglian said with emotion: "That era was considered wonderful. Bashu Great Sword God, Nanman Sword Demon, and even Western Region Swordsmen. These were all top swordsmen who were once in the limelight. This group of people has aged or died, and basically only this Yuan Mei is left at the top of the kendo."

"What kind of file is this first file?"

Zhao Xun knows that people like to divide files artificially.

So this first and only file should have many advantages, right?

"The first level is the first level, which is difficult for others to reach. If you want to divide it in terms of realm, he can actually be classified as a grand master, but after he failed to challenge the mountain leader, his realm plummeted, so now I can't do it." I understand what level he is. But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it should be able to sit firmly in the first gear."

"Well…"

Zhao Xun thought to himself that the old man is really a benchmark.

Everyone likes to challenge him, but no one seems to have successfully challenged him.

But I have to say that challenging the head of the mountain is a matter of steady profits and high returns.

Needless to say, if he can defeat the head of the mountain, he will definitely become famous for it.

But even if it was a tie, the result was pretty good.

At least from now on, it can be regarded as able to occupy a place in the martial arts arena.

"Then where does Old Sword Immortal Yuan live now? Has he moved back to Dongyue?"

"No, he lives in Zhongnanshan."

When Zhao Xun heard this, he spat out with a puff.

"What? Old Sword Immortal Yuan lives in Zhongnan Mountain now?"

"Yeah, what's so surprising about that?"

Seeing Zhao Xun's surprised look, Daoist Qinglian felt a little confused.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Men, old senior Yuan was defeated by the head of the mountain before, right?"

"correct."

"So he is obviously defeated by his subordinates, how can he stay here steadily? Doesn't he feel embarrassed?"

"Uh…"

Daoist Qinglian didn't seem to have really thought about this issue.

But because of Zhao Xun's point, he began to think carefully about this issue.

It seems a bit embarrassing indeed...

Daoist Qinglian thought about it, scratched his head and said, "Maybe he is more resistant, so he doesn't feel embarrassed. Brat, didn't you say that too? As long as you don't feel embarrassed, embarrassing is Anyone else?"

puff…

Zhao Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Damn, the teacher really didn't save him any face.

"Men, okay, it's okay for you to say that."

"Um…"

Daoist Qinglian continued to eat melons, and said excitedly after eating a lot of melons: "Tsk tsk tsk, except for this Yuan Mei who is now the only one who can be ranked first, the gap between the rest of the people is not that big. I I think the next few guys should be in second gear."

"First of all, there is the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, Yao Yan. He is also an old first rank, and he has been in the first rank for a long time, so he can be ranked first. You should be familiar with Yao Jianxian, right? I won't say much. "

After finishing speaking, Daoist Qinglian paused for a while, and then continued: "The next thing is to become a teacher. Being a teacher is not boastful. Since becoming a first-rank teacher, I obviously feel some new sword intent."

"Master, I see what you said. I still think you have ranked yourself low. That old sword fairy Yuan Mei, even if he was really strong in the past, but that is already a thing of the past. Now his strength No one really knows how. So I think you can be in the same line."

Zhao Xun is well versed in the essence of flattering, so as long as he is given a chance, he will flatter his mentor without hesitation.

Although Daoist Qinglian knew that Zhao Xun was flattering him, he still felt very dark.

After all, everyone likes to hear good things.

Who likes to hear bad words when there are good words.

"Don't flatter the old man, brat. Do you think the old man doesn't know what you're thinking? Hmph."

Daoist Qinglian acted obediently even though he got the advantage, which made Zhao Xun helpless for a while.

"Haha, go on."

"The rest is Wei Wuji. Don't look at this guy as a super master now, but in terms of understanding of swordsmanship, he can't beat me and Zhulin Sword Immortal. He is nothing more than a super master. The great master's light is nothing more than that."

"Uh-huh…"

Zhao Xun probably understands that his mentor doesn't value these realms, but his actual combat ability.

Otherwise, if practitioners fight, they just claim each other's head, why bother to fight.

It is not uncommon to overcome the enemy across borders, especially for Wenzong practitioners.

So Zhao Xun can understand the ranking of his mentor.

As long as this ranking can be ranked, there is naturally a reason for this.

"Of course Wei Wuji still has his merits, at least his comprehensive strength is still very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't be easily ranked among the top ten in the world."

"Well, the ranking of the top ten in the world should still have a lot of gold content and convincing power."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that no matter who ranks the rankings, he can't arrange them indiscriminately. There must be some comprehensive considerations.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"This Wei Wuji is a good young sword cultivator, and is expected to take over Yuan Mei's mantle and become a sword god. It's a pity that this guy's intentions are not righteous, and his obsession is too deep, so he will be affected to some extent. "

Daoist Qinglian paused and said: "So it is difficult for Wei Wuji to take a step forward. Just based on his understanding of the way of the sword and the righteousness of the sword, I don't wrong him by placing him in the second rank."

"Hmm, teacher, what about the third gear?"

Zhao Xun continued to ask.

"This is the third gear..."

Daoist Qinglian pondered for a moment and said: "There are some obvious shortcomings. They may be very strong in some aspects of sword cultivation, but they can't stand up in other aspects. In this way, they can only barely In third gear, it's hard to take a step forward."

"The most obvious example is your third brother Long Qingquan."

"puff…"

Hearing this, Zhao Xun sprayed out again.

"Third Senior Brother? Really?"

"Of course. It's your third brother, Long Qingquan."
