That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 162 It's all a fluke

Not long after, with the sound of soft footsteps, Xiao Zhinan walked into the room.

Xu Beiyou tried to move his body. Fortunately, he was still conscious from the neck down. He was not disabled and could barely move his body. But every time he thought of a sword in his body, he felt extremely strange.

Regardless of the pain in his body, he sat up and forced a smile to Xiao Zhinan, "Your Highness, I owe you one more time."

Xiao Zhinan smiled and said, "Don't talk about that, how do you feel now?"

Xu Beiyou understood the reason why he did not say thank you for his great kindness, so he did not dwell on this topic, and said, "Tell Your Highness the good news, I am already in the realm of ghosts and immortals."

Xiao Zhinan raised his brows imperceptibly.

In their generation, apart from Qi Xianyun, who is riding the dust, all those who can step into the realm of ghosts and immortals at this age are all top-notch young talents who are expected to reach the realm of earth and immortals.

The realm of five immortals in Taoism, the realm of ghosts and immortals is just the threshold of two words of practice, the realm of human immortals is just the first glimpse of the path of cultivation, only the realm of earth immortals can be regarded as entering the room, guarding against the debate of the six qi, refining form and living in the world, half immortal Half ordinary.But the immortal realm after the eighteenth floor of the earth fairy can really fade away from the mortal body, the five qi are in the original state, the three flowers gather on the top, transcend the ordinary and become holy, exterminate the dust and the vulgar, and achieve the supreme immortal body. In the words of ordinary people, that is Really ranked in the fairy class.

Xu Beiyou didn't want to hide in front of Xiao Zhinan, the savior, and said frankly: "Although I major in Dragon and Tiger Pill Dao, the fundamental cultivation of Jianzong is Gengjin Sword Qi. Mr. Pingan implanted the inexplicable sword into my body. , the sword qi in the sword naturally merged into my body, and the Seventh Gold Sword Qi that was only a hair's breadth turned into Forty Nine Platinum Sword Qi, so I broke through to the Ghost Immortal Realm logically."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "I have studied under various masters since I was a child, read all the books, and even tried countless panacea. Unfortunately, in the end, it was nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket. So far, I have not touched the threshold of the realm of ghosts and immortals."

Xu Beiyou smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, I have used up to three famous swords from the Sword Sect in several breakthroughs. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a second-rank realm today."

Xiao Zhinan pursed his lips, "Anyone who can achieve the realm of the fairyland, who doesn't have a chance? What you hold in your hands is luck, and what you lose is life."

Xu Beiyou was startled.

What you get is luck, what you lose is life.

Thinking back carefully, it was indeed an extremely lucky thing for him to have acquired the famous swords of the Jianzong during his journey, but what he lost was his master, Gongsun Zhongmou, who was the most important person.

A few swords can support his cultivation realm, but they cannot support his past experience. Those people and those things are his life.

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but take a deep look at Xiao Zhinan.

At the very beginning, his impression of Her Royal Highness was that she was aloof, like a fairy in the sky, elusive and unattainable.Later, after getting in touch with him, he felt that Her Royal Highness was awe-inspiring, broad-sighted, knowledgeable, scheming, and deep in the city. Such a woman had all her sharpness restrained, like a famous sword hidden in a sheath, far more sharp than those Bi Lu's sword is even more terrifying.

Today's Xiao Zhinan made Xu Beiyou know a different kind of her, different from the lofty heavenly girl and the deep-minded princess, this time Xiao Zhinan has gained a lot of popularity, she really looks like a girl of his age.

Being stared at by this young man with no story, Xiao Zhinan felt uncomfortable for the first time, blinked his long eyes, turned his face away slightly, and left him with a beautiful side profile.

Xu Beiyou came to his senses, quite embarrassed.Although toads want to eat swan meat, they are mostly thinking about it behind people. If they are in front of swans, few toads will have any nasty thoughts. If he doesn't hide his thoughts, it means that this young man who came out of the northwest is no longer just thinking about it. He has ups and downs, and the seed called ambition in his heart has taken root and sprouted, and it has grown into a towering tree. Tree.

It's a pity that Xu Beiyou's Taoism is still shallow now, and the ambition in his heart is just a "simple" idea of ​​becoming a master.

However, Xu Beiyou still subconsciously took a sneak peek at Xiao Zhinan. I don't know if it was because of his completely different mentality this time, he went to see Xiao Zhinan without any fear or guard. It is not appropriate to compare it to a fairy, because although Xiao Zhinan's beauty is unattainable, it is not a dusty dust that is free from the world, but a dignified and noble status, just like her honorary title, which is a princess, not a fairy .The incomparable life experience gave her the confidence to look down on most men, and her vision was as high as the sky. What kind of man can conquer such a woman?

Xu Beiyou used to wonder if the reason why Xiao Zhinan favored him was because his status was just right, so that he could get on the stage and not be out of the control of His Royal Highness, while a son of a wealthy family like Duanmuyu, There is a huge family behind him, and his father is a figure in power, so there are too many uncontrollable things.

There are two hardest things in the world, one is to accompany the prince to study, and the other is to marry the princess as his wife, but these two things are also very rewarding, just like Duanmuyu, they never lack women and ambitions, since If you are willing to marry a princess, you must have greater ambitions.

The royal family of the Xiao family has always been sparsely populated, and the princesses born in the direct line are even more precious. There are countless men who can marry the princesses of the Xiao family, and all of them are famous and famous.Back then, Xiao Yu married his younger sister Xiao Yue to the newly enthroned post-founding lord Wanyan Beiyue after the Second Northern Expedition, Houjian, and expelled the five kings of the Wanyan clan in order to form an alliance with the Houjian royal family.After Xiao Yu entered the Eastern Capital, the world formed a situation where Jiangbei and Jiangnan confronted each other. In order to gain righteousness, he married his daughter Xiao Yuyi to Qin Xian, the last emperor of Dazheng.In Xiao Zhinan's generation, the Xiao family's royal family no longer needs women to marry, so Duanmuyu, who has a slightly inferior family background, can also be included in the candidate list.

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "This time it was Duanmuyu who leaked your whereabouts to Zhenmo Temple."

Xu Beiyou was not surprised, he smiled and said, "It's reasonable and expected."

Xiao Zhinan glanced at him, the expression of the young man in front of him was so calm that it was almost rigid, although he was still far from the state of not being happy with things and not saddening himself, but at his age, it is very rare to be able to be neither arrogant nor impetuous .Thinking of that gloomy son of a family, he couldn't help sighing softly in his heart, if the person in front of him was also from a family, how great would it be?But then again, if he really grew up in a big dye vat like that of an aristocratic family, would he still have the disposition he is today?
Xiao Zhinan sat by the bed and said slowly: "After you recover from your injury, I will accompany you around Jiangnan, Zheng Taizu Mausoleum, Plum Blossom Mountain, Zijin Mountain, Zixia Lake, Yuhuatai, Chu Palace, Qinhuai River, Xuanwu Lake, Bring Zhang Binghu and Yuanying this time, don't be afraid of the Demon Town Hall."

"So many places." Xu Beiyou was really flattered.

Xiao Zhinan sighed slightly, "There are only a few places, but I won't be staying in Jiangnan for too long, so I can only take a hasty walk and have a look."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a while, and asked, "Where are you going next? Southern Xinjiang? Lingnan? Or Shuzhou?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said: "It's not true, my father ordered me to return to the capital, I don't know when I will be able to come out this time, if I get married unfortunately, I will be trapped in a cage for the rest of my life, not free. "

While speaking, Xiao Zhinan even winked at Xu Beiyou, which is really pitiful.

Xu Beiyou pressed the breaking point almost instantly, and almost put down his bold words, but at the last moment he insisted on holding back, and then silently said a few monsters in his heart. Facing Xiao Zhinan, a big monster, he really couldn't bear this kind of morality.

But Xu Beiyou couldn't help asking, "Do you have to get married?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

Xiao Zhinan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Since the Xiao family has given me today's honor, then I have to listen to the Xiao family's words, there is no reason in the world to just ask and not give."
