That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 165
For the next few days, Xiao Zhinan didn't come back, but Yinzhu said that he was out on business and was going to visit an elder with a very unusual status.

Xu Beiyou didn't think too much about it. Apart from studying, he just continued to run his Qi machine to adapt to his new body.

The biggest difference between the realm of ghosts and immortals and the realm of the first rank is that you can release the energy in your body. If you are a Taoist, you can use this to attract wind and thunder, or cloud to create illusions, and use all kinds of mysterious magic methods that ordinary people seem to be inconceivable .Although Jianzong is not proficient in this way, it is more than enough to use some low-level tricks. At the level of Gongsun Zhongmou, even if he does not understand the way of formation, he can directly give birth to a blindfold that covers the entire mountain with his majestic cultivation. The illusion, just lacks many, many mysterious changes, and has no effect of defending against the enemy.

Xu Beiyou can now produce a small cluster of flames on his fingertips. This is Danhuo, which can be transformed into a real fire of three flavors at a deep level of cultivation. It is indestructible when exposed to water, and nothing is inflammable. Xu Beiyou may have no hope of cultivating the Three Flavors True Fire in his life.However, if there is a loss, there is a gain. The people of Jianzong can also take the five-metal mercury pill, and use the four-nine platinum sword energy to refine a sword pill in their body. When they open their mouths, it is a white practice, flying in the air, and beheading people. Level, one of the swords in Sword 36 is extended from the method of Jianwan.

Xu Beiyou once heard his master mention the method of sword pills, but it is a pity that Gongsun Zhongmou left too hastily and has not taught him this method, so even if Xu Beiyou has stepped into the realm of ghosts and immortals at this time, no matter whether it is the supreme sword body or the sword pill There is no way to learn the method, so I can only continue to grope for Sword Fifteen and Sword Sixteen.

Xiao Zhinan gave special instructions before leaving, so no one came to disturb Xu Beiyou in the past few days, and Xu Beiyou was the only one near the small lake in the Houfu.

It was a sunny day, and Xu Beiyou stood alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking at the sparkling lake outside the pavilion and contemplating for a long time, then he made a set of complicated sword formulas with the two fingers of his right hand together, which was in line with his heart The connected Tianlan turned into a white rainbow and swept out of the pavilion, falling into the lake outside the pavilion.

The Tianlan Sword is forged in response to the spirit of the eight directions. It is easy to destroy gold and jade, but it is as sharp as cutting iron like mud.Although there is no sword energy in itself, the sword edge alone is enough to beat the sword energy of Que Xie and other swords.

When a sword entered the lake, it first sank slowly, and then shot upwards.

The entire mirror-like lake is divided into two by a line.

The sword formula in Xu Beiyou's hand changed again, and Tian Lan spun along with it. A thousand waves were rolled up by the sword, and the waves pushed forward to the shore continuously.

Xu Beiyou swiped two fingers, and made a movement of retracting the sword and returning it to the orifice.

Tian Lan turned into a white rainbow again and flew back to the pavilion. A moment later, a white-golden sword energy shot up from the center of the lake.

The lake water exploded and fell one after another, like a light rain.

"It's a [-] Platinum Sword Qi." A middle-aged refined scholar appeared on the bank at some point, clapped and laughed, and walked slowly towards the pavilion where Xu Beiyou was.

Seeing this person, Xu Beiyou was slightly taken aback, then put away the Sky Lan sword, and greeted him, "Sir, is this Xie Yuan's master Kangle Gong?"

The person who came was the contemporary Kangle Gong Xie Suqing. It was not a secret that Xiao Zhinan brought Xu Beiyou to Xie Yuan. As the owner of Xie Yuan, Xie Suqing was naturally aware of this matter, but in his opinion, it was not a big deal, so he never paid attention to it. It's just that I had something to go out today, and when I returned, I happened to pass by my other courtyard. I wanted to meet this young man who made Her Royal Highness look favorably on a whim, but happened to see the scene of Xu Beiyou Yujian. Seeing through his identity, the Patriarch of the Xie family couldn't help being a bit surprised and amazed.

But Xie Suqing concealed it very well, and said with a smile: "It's someone Xie, I didn't expect Xiaoyou Xu to know the old man's name."

Xu Beiyou said: "At that time, the Emperor Taizu canonized twelve Shangzhu kingdoms, and Lingzu Kangle Gonggong was one of them. It has been handed down to the third generation, and it is well-known among the scholars as Jiangzuo's three Kangles. They are famous and famous. Is there anyone who doesn't know?"

This is not Xu Beiyou's intentional flattery, but the fact that it is.

Xie Suqing's grandfather, Xie Gongyi, was known as Jiangzuo No.1. He was famous for his poetry and prose when he was young, and devoted himself to Buddhism and morality in his middle age.Academically, he is already a figure at the level of Taishan Beidou, but Xie Gongyi's real pride is not in this, but in his insight into people, and he has joined Xiao Huang before Xiao Huang's fortune, first supporting the dragon, and then riding the dragon Since then, the Xie family has stood out among all the families in the south of the Yangtze River, becoming the veritable number one family in the south of the Yangtze River.And if Queen Lin hadn't dominated the harem back then, Xie Gongyi would have almost married his daughter to Emperor Xiao and made him a relative of the emperor.

Xie Gongyi is already like this, but his son Xie Chaozong is no less inferior. He has been extremely sensitive since he was a child.At the age of five, the book taught by my father should be recited by mouth.At the age of seven, he can belong to literature, and he can write poems with old idioms.At the age of ten, thousands of words are poured out every day, and he will never forget it for life; at the age of 12.Read the Four Books and Five Classics, and run through their meanings.In the third year of Huanglong, Xie Chaozong, who was only 23 years old, inherited the title and went to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Xiao. Come.

In the fifth year of Huanglong, Xie Chaozong did not enter the official position because of his kindness, but took part in the Jiangzhou imperial examination, ranking first in the list.The next year, he went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination and won the first prize, and was appointed as the number one scholar by Emperor Xiao in the imperial examination.

Later, he entered the Hanlin Academy and was selected as a Hanlin bachelor. In the first year of Taiping, he entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, entered the cabinet as a secretary, and participated in the maintenance. hand.

What really made Xie Chaozong famous was that in the tenth year of Taiping Emperor Xiao ordered the compilation of "History of Zheng" and appointed Xie Chaozong as the president. In the 19th year of Taiping, the compilation of "History of Zheng" which took nine years was completed. Looking at it, his status as a scholar was even elevated to a position shoulder to shoulder with his father, but things were unpredictable, and then Xie Chaozong was involved in the court battle in the 20th year of Taiping, and died as a result.

After the new emperor came to the throne, he treated the Xie family favorably, and decreed that Xie Suqing, the son of Xie Chaozong, would inherit the title of Duke of Kangle. With his grandfather and father in front of him, Xie Suqing was naturally not a mediocre person. , good at regular script, proficient in gold and stone, skilled in appreciating and collecting, especially good at landscape ink painting, he is famous all over the world. Over the years, he has been called by scholars as "the style of the ancestors, and it is actually the No. 1 in Jiangzuo today". Jiangzhou Shilin is well-deserved leader.

In the officialdom, Xie Suqing is not useless. With his father's lessons learned, he chose to stay away from the imperial capital, and changed from civil to military, becoming Emperor Xiao's important confidant in the south of the Yangtze River. The position of governor and co-prefect is high and powerful, which makes the Xie family, which had been weakened by Xie Chaozong's incident, rejuvenate.

It is precisely because Xie Suqing made the Xie family rejuvenate again that there is a saying among scholars among the scholars that Jiangzuo has one family and three happiness.

Xie Suqing smiled and said: "Xu Xiaoyou is too famous, I am ashamed to take it."

Xu Beiyou smiled lightly and said, "This statement is not made by Xu, but by scholars all over the world. You have three generations in your family, and you deserve it."

Xie Suqing smiled and remained silent.

Xie Suqing's face seemed calm, but there was a little turmoil in her heart.He had heard of the reputation of this young master of the Sword Sect long ago, and just because Xu Beiyou was able to come to Jiangnan from the northwest alone, he could tell that he was not a mediocre person.But even so, Xie Suqing didn't think too highly of this young man before, but just placed him at Duanmuyu's level.

But today, Xu Beiyou gave him two surprises when he got in touch with him. It's not difficult to guess his identity, but it's difficult to see through it at first glance. This quick-wittedness is quite impressive.Secondly, when Xu Beiyou faced him, the Patriarch of the Xie family, he spoke freely, neither humble nor overbearing. This kind of bearing that ordinary family members did not have really made him look sideways.

To take a step back, Her Royal Highness is not a boudoir lady who does not leave her home, what kind of young talent has she never seen?This young master of Jianzong who is empty-handed can be seen by her, which is very telling.More importantly, the masters of Jianzong, Sun Zhongmou and Han Xuan, are the young people trained by these two old guys together, are they ordinary people?
of course not.

Xie Suqing couldn't help asking herself, "Did you underestimate him?"
