That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1240 Yao wants to return to Biyou Island

When the Changhong transformed by Master Xichen pierced the sky and fell into the grassland camp, Xu Beiyou Yujian returned to the city of Zhongdu, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression.

Li Shentong asked curiously: "Master is fighting with someone again?"

Xu Beiyou nodded without explaining in detail.

Some things are of great importance, and the fewer people who know about them, the better.Even the confidants around you, if there is no need to know, then don't reveal anything.It's not about trust or not, it's just because more people know about it, the possibility of leaking the news will increase, just like Ye Lanyi's detection of Wei Wang's marching movements, it's not that Chen Ye leaked the news on purpose, it's just inadvertently Just leaked the news.

However, Li Shentong didn't think too much, and asked with glowing eyes: "Which one is defeated by Master this time?"

Xu Beiyou had no choice but to reply, "It's Xichen, the Daoist Daoist."

After Zhang Wubing heard the words, he said with a smile: "During the 40th year of the Great Zheng Zhengming's Taimiao Revolution, Mr. Shangguan defeated Weichen, Yuchen, and Xichen with one sword, and today you, Xu Nangui, defeated these three again. A real person, it can be said that he has accomplished the feats of his ancestors."

Xu Beiyou didn't have much complacency on his face, and said: "This time in three consecutive battles, I killed a shaman high priest, Baishui Duan, and severely injured Weichen and Xichen respectively, making them unable to make a move in a short period of time. Now, in the big grassland camp, there may be other means, but you must not dare to act rashly, you can rest at ease."

Zhang Wubing nodded slightly.

Although Xu Beiyou couldn't kill all the grassland army with one sword, but he could specialize in killing key figures in the grassland army. This made Lin Han very afraid, so he had to slow down his march, at least wait for the Taoist side to do it. If he reacts, he must send reinforcements, or have other means to contain Xu Beiyou, otherwise he will end up being killed one by one by Xu Beiyou, and he can't even hurt Xu Beiyou at all. He can only be beaten and cannot fight back. How can this battle be fought? go down?
The grassland army will stop for a while, and Xu Beiyou will also stop for a while. Now Xu Beiyou's mind is no longer completely focused on the Northwest War. He is more thinking about the future battle with Qiuye. Before the complete refinement is complete, he cannot suffer any injuries, because now that he has become a treasure bottle, it is extremely difficult to get injured, but once injured, it is even more difficult, and it will take years at every turn. Calculating the recovery time, according to Xu Beiyou's calculations, Qiuye will be able to ascend the Dao within a year at the latest. If this opportunity is missed, it will be impossible to take revenge.

Under such circumstances, Xu Beiyou can only take every step he takes, lest he make a wrong step and regret for the rest of his life.

As for the outcome of the battle between Xu Beiyou and Qiuye, for Xu Beiyou, there was no certainty, only the difference between life and death.

According to the general trend of heaven, there are only two Ascension places left now. If Xu Beiyou chooses to prove Dao Ascension after the Jiangling battle, then the last place will be contested by Wanyan Beiyue and Qiuye, and the loser will inevitably stay in the world For many years, I have suffered the Earth Immortal Tribulation once every sixty years, and will not be able to ascend until the next hundred years. If during this process, I cannot withstand the Earth Immortal Tribulation, or if my lifespan is exhausted, I will just miss the opportunity of ascension. machine.

But Xu Beiyou did not choose to ascend at that time. According to the current situation, the ascension of Wanyan Beiyue, who has always been on the sidelines, is a foregone conclusion. Xu Beiyou and Qiuye will compete for the last place of ascension. Gambling his life, he even put his chance of ascension on the gambling table. For any monk who aspires to live forever, this bet is no less than the emperor's courage to gamble with the huge world.

A group of people left the city and went into the city. The three of them did not take a car or ride a horse, but walked on foot. Anyway, the city of Zhongdu has entered a state of wartime martial law. There are no pedestrians on the streets, and most of them are patrollers. City soldiers, the three of them walked among them, and they were not too conspicuous.

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the torches began to be lit one after another in the city, one at a distance of ten feet, making the originally dark streets bright and dark, and the circular light range illuminated by each torch was like beads connected in series. into line.

This is Zhang Wubing's intention, in case there is a surprise attack by the enemy at night.Zhongdu City is the headquarters of the Northwest Army. Although food and supplies are not enough, and arrows are also consumed a lot, there are more or less garrison items such as fire oil and Leimu. Most of them are Zhuge Gong appointed by the Northwest Army The family property accumulated when he was the governor, but no one dared to attack Zhongdu City for so many years, so it was backlogged in the warehouse in the city, and Zhang Wubing took it out at this time, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.

Zhang Wubing, clad in armor while walking, asked, "Nan Gui, what are you going to do next?"

The light of the torch fell on Xu Beiyou's face, so that the left half of his cheek was in the firelight, but the right half of his cheek was in the shadow, half-bright and half-dark. He thought for a while, "I want to find someone first. The place restores the energy mechanism in the body, and at the same time begins to refine the primordial purple energy in the body, in case there are other opponents on the other side of the Taoist sect. Although no one in the Taoist sect except Qiuye should be able to fight me now, but I am not afraid. Just in case, it is better to be cautious. When the Northwest War comes to an end, I will set off and return to the imperial capital."

Zhang Wubing turned to look at Xu Beiyou's face, and asked, "Have you thought about leading Jianzong back to Biyou Island?"

Xu Beiyou did not deny it, and said frankly: "Of course I thought about it. After all, Biyou Island is the root of Jianzong. Back then, Jianzong had to leave Biyou Island. It is more than a hundred times stronger when you are on the island, and it will naturally fall back to the roots."

Zhang Wubing took a torch from the side of the road and held it in his hand, completely illuminated Xu Beiyou's face, and said: "If we can return to Biyou Island and sit on the 36th island of Jianzong again, Jianzong will not be the sword we are today. Dzong, with the 36 islands as the foundation, governing the Wei State that has lost the Wei King, and the great cause of the millennium is all in it."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak, but Li Shentong, who was following beside him, thought it was true.

At that time, the founder of Jianzong, Shangqing Daojun, came out of Taoism and chose to establish Jianzong on Biyou Island. It is obvious that it is extraordinary, and after thousands of years of operation of Jianzong, the 36 islands can be said to be self-contained. After Daomen and Xiao Jin wreaked havoc and searched, the foundation is still there, and there is still a possibility of recovery.

As for why Daomen and Xiao Jin didn't completely destroy Island 36, this is their own calculation. After all, at that time, Jianzong was already in danger, and Island 36 could be regarded as an uninhabited thing. Both sides wanted to keep it in their pockets. , forming a trend of wrangling, which allowed the foundation of 36 islands to be preserved.

As the young master of Jianzong, Li Shentong naturally hoped that one day he could return to Island 36. Although he had never been to Island 36, he heard Bingchen tell about the mysterious capital of Taoism in West Kunlun. What kind of immortal atmosphere is the twelve pavilions of the hall? As Biyou Island, which was once as famous as Dutian Peak, wouldn't Li Shentong yearn for it?
