That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 166 Ambition or Ambition

Xie Suqing was deep in the city, and his face was still calm and calm. Since he underestimated Xu Beiyou, he would make a long-term plan, say goodbye and leave after a few polite words.

Xu Beiyou was not disappointed, and continued to do what he should do.

For Xu Beiyou, since the day he followed Gongsun Zhongmou out of the Northwest, he has no shortage of opportunities, what he lacks is the ability to seize opportunities.Ten years ago, Gongsun Zhongmou, who had just arrived in Northwest China, brought him a seed and buried it in his heart.Ten years later, Xiao Zhinan, who also arrived in Northwest China for the first time, allowed this seed that had been buried for ten years to take root in his heart.

That seed is called ambition, also known as ambition.

Entering Taiping for 21 years, in this short period of time, from Xiao Moke, the king of Lingwu County, to Chen Ye, the master of the Zhenmo Temple, to Mutangzhi, the king of Liao, and then Princess Xiao Zhinan of Qiyang, and even Daoist disciples. The head teacher Qiu Ye, one after another big figures came and went in front of him. They watered and fertilized this seed, making it grow rapidly.

When this seed is about to grow into a towering tree, there will be two results.Either Xu Beiyou has grown to a high enough height to hold this big tree in his stomach.Either Xu Beiyou couldn't keep up with the speed of his ambition, and was overwhelmed by his own ambition, leaving no place for him to die.

Other than that, there is no other way.

The next day, Xie Suqing came over again, this time he brought a very good-looking long sword, the long red and yellow tassels were woven with golden silk and fire silk, and were entwined with gold silk. The hilt, the black gold sword head, the dark iron sword hood, and the agarwood scabbard are embossed with the pattern of the passing of the great river. Anyway, these decorations are hard to buy.

Putting Tian Lan and this sword together is not surprising, neither the sharpness of the sword, nor the radiance of the sword, it is ordinary, but Xie Suqing still admires Tian Lan, saying that the sharpness of this sword is only Second to Shuangtian Xiaojiao, which is kept in the palace, my water cut-off, compared to Tianlan, is nothing more than a bird compared to a swan.

Xie Suqing is worthy of being a well-known contemporary scholar with profound knowledge, and then he talked with Xu Beiyou about the famous sword in the world.

He said that there were two sets of famous swords back then, one was the 36 immortal swords of the Daoist sect, and the other was the 48 divine swords of the Confucian sect.

During the battle of kendo, the founder of Jianzong sent the ancestors to bring the 36 swords of Taoism to Jianzong. After thousands of years, four out of twenty swords were damaged and lost, leaving only the twelve swords of Jianzong today.

Another set of Confucianism 48 swords is named after Cipai, and the five-character Cipai name has five swords, but they were just cast and destroyed by Heavenly Tribulation. The Shuangtian Xiaojiao mentioned is one of the eight swords.Later, Confucianism was defeated by Xuanjiao and fell apart, and the 48 Excaliburs were also scattered in all directions and fell into the hands of other sects. Among them, Xuanjiao gained the most, followed by Jianzong and Daomen.However, after so many years of ups and downs, only a dozen or so swords of the 48 Excalibur have been handed down to the world, and only Shuangtian Xiaojiao and Bu Suanziman are left in the eight-character Ci card names, and the rest are all three-character Ci card names. For a while, there was a storm of Dingfeng from the chief assistant Lanyu, Bodhisattva Man from the governor Wei Jin, and Shuilongyin from the Taoist head teacher Qiuye.

In addition, there are many separate and unsuitable swords, the most famous of which is the Immortal Sword Zhu Xian held by the master of the Sword Sect, the Heavenly Sword forged by Xiao Huang in accordance with the fate of the general trend, followed by Taoism's Cutting Greed and Hatred, Slashing the world of mortals, and Xuanjiao's Great Freedom Sword of the Heavens.

Xie Suqing finally said: "Only these swords can be regarded as famous swords. As for the broken water in my hand, it is just a showy display."

Then Xie Suqing made a request that seemed incomprehensible to Xu Beiyou. He actually wanted to test Tianlan's sword with the cut-off water in his hand. Xu Beiyou refused of course, but Xie Suqing asked repeatedly. Xu Beiyou couldn't stand the Patriarch of the Xie family. Because of his stubbornness, he could only nod his head in agreement, and the two touched each other with a sword, without any accident, the Duan Shui sword was cut in two, but Tian Lan did not hurt at all.

Xie Suqing seemed to have expected this result, and casually threw the half of the once priceless broken sword in the lake. It was like throwing away a pair of shoes. Even though Xu Beiyou knew that Xie Suqing must have some kind of conspiracy in his mind, he couldn't help it. I was a little amazed and envious in my heart.

This is the real aristocratic style. Thousands of taels of silver are thrown away without blinking an eye. Even if Xu Beiyou has inherited the gold and silver left to him by Gongsun Zhongmou, he has no confidence like Xie Suqing. act.One is because the money has not really reached his hands, and the other is that the money is left by the master after all, and it is the old foundation of Jianzong and Gongsun's family, so they dare not waste it lightly.

Xie Suqing didn't stay for too long this time. After "ruining" a Duan Shui sword, she left Xie Yuan after a short exchange of greetings. It was normal to think about it. He, the Patriarch of the Xie family, who was called upside down in the south of the Yangtze River, had no reason to accompany him. Xu Beiyou chatted here and said that it was almost the same, if it was Gongsun Zhongmou, it would be the same.

In addition to Xie Suqing, Xiao Yuanying also came here a few times, but perhaps because her cultivation base has recovered, she has become Princess Qingluan when she first met. , the little girl Xiao Yuanying riding on Xu Beiyou's neck disappeared.

Thinking of this, Xu Beiyou sighed a little. In all fairness, he still liked that little girl Xiao Yuanying more than this Princess Qingluan.

"Xu Beiyou, what are you thinking?"

Xu Beiyou was staring at the other half of the broken sword left by Xie Suqing in a daze, when a domineering voice that didn't match his age suddenly sounded in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Yuanying, as expected.

However, today's Xiao Yuanying is quite different from the previous few days, with his hands on his hips, and a pair of big harmless eyes looking at Xu Beiyou with some malicious intentions. He doesn't have the air of a lady, but looks like a little devil in the world.

Holding the half-cut sword, Xu Beiyou cautiously asked, "What do you want?"

Xiao Yuanying looked Xu Beiyou up and down, and hummed: "The past two days, Xie Suqing has been running here, I can't come here, there is no one today, I will stop by to see you, I heard that you have set foot in the realm of ghosts and immortals? Don't play tricks with me, and let me see Jianzong's four-nine platinum sword energy."

Xu Beiyou suddenly realized that it wasn't that the girl had changed her temper, but that she was the same before and the other was different.From Xiao Yuanying's point of view, Xu Beiyou can obviously be classified as one of his own people, so once his sister Xiao Zhinan and the outsider Xie Suqing left, this girl showed her true colors in front of her own people, and when Xiao Yuanying lost her cultivation base, she was not less affected by Xu Beiyou's " Bullying", judging by the current posture, this girl is planning to get all her money back with interest.

Xu Beiyou looked at Xiao Yuanying's small fist, then remembered Wuye's fate, and shook his head resolutely.

Xiao Yuanying let out a hesitation, "This is beyond your control."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanying raised a pair of small fists and smashed them on the head at Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou had no choice but to drop the half-broken sword in his hand, and had no choice but to raise his sword to meet the enemy.

The result of this battle was as expected as the result of the collision between Tianlan and Duanshui. After about half a stick of incense, Xu Beiyou was completely defeated. Although Xiao Yuanying held back and Xu Beiyou was not injured, but It was unavoidable to be embarrassed, and Xiao Yuanying rode on her body and beat her indiscriminately. While beating her, the girl murmured, "Let you bully me, let you bully me, let you flick my brains, how dare you let me go?" I carry the sword box."

It wasn't until Xu Beiyou called the heroine to spare his life that he finally made this little ancestor happy.

"Xu Beiyou." Xiao Yuanying sat swaggeringly on the stone bench in the Huxin Pavilion, resting his chin on his hands and asked, "Honestly speaking, how is my sister?"

Xu Beiyou didn't dare to take this girl lightly, and after careful consideration, he replied carefully: "Your Highness the Princess is naturally one in a million, and she is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Xiao Yuanying sat up straight, and asked solemnly: "Since my sister is so good, then you don't have any ideas?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanying would be so direct. Xu Beiyou was almost choked by his own saliva. In the end, he could only open his eyes and talk nonsense, and said in a serious manner: "His Royal Highness, Xu Beiyou will never forget the life-saving grace of the princess. In the future, even if it is smashed to pieces, I will repay it." Big favor."
