That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 299

In the middle of the night, Xu Beiyou and his party used the token of the Dark Guard Mansion to open the city gate and return to Jiangdu City. Besides Bai Yu, the captive, there were more than [-] bloody human heads, which were strung into strings by two dark guards and carried away. hands.

This is a real gourd with human heads.

Passing through the entrance gates of various square cities, returning to Ronghuafang located in the center of Jiangdu City, and arriving at the gate of Gongsun Mansion, Xu Beiyou got off his horse and threw the reins in his hand to the ghost who came to greet him.

Fortunately, it wasn't Guiding driving the car today, otherwise he would have lost a subordinate in the Immortal Realm.

Song Guanguan also greeted him, he couldn't hide his worry, and said in a low voice, "My lord."

Xu Beiyou ordered wearily: "I was careless this time, you take that woman down first, and then tell everyone that I'm fine, so they don't have to worry."

Song Guanguan took Bai Yu and left.

Xu Beiyou asked: "I remember that there seems to be a governor's mansion for the Jiangnan Rear Army in Jiangdu City?"

The head of the dark guard standing behind him replied in a deep voice: "Young Master, it is the Jiangnan Navy Commander's Mansion, which is located in Tianyuanfang. The navy exists in name only, and in name it is an independent army, but in fact it belongs to the control of the rear army in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xu Beiyou sighed, and said calmly: "In this case, then put all these heads at the gate of the Navy Commander's Mansion, and let them have a look. The bandits beheaded dozens of heads. According to the rules of beheading in the army, Why don't they give me the title of Captain?"

A group of dark guards promised in a low voice, turned around and walked in the direction of Tianyuanfang without any delay.

Only then did Xu Beiyou step into the gate of Gongsun's mansion, walk all the way through the halls and corridors, and came to the side hall painted with the blue dragon picture. After turning back left and right, he opened the mirror world left by Gongsun Zongmou.

It was only when he came here that Xu Beiyou relaxed a little, found a random guest room in this identical Gongsun Mansion, and fell into a deep sleep.

The previous series of battles, although they didn't deplete their vitality, caused Xu Beiyou's soul to be seriously overdrawn. At this time, he was hit by a heavy sleepiness that he hadn't experienced in a long time. one game.

Just when Xu Beiyou fell asleep peacefully, in a dilapidated Taoist temple in Daoshufang, Zhang Zhaonu, who had entered the city quietly at some point, saw Wu Lezhi who was temporarily living here.

Perhaps because of his intolerance to the cold spring, this Confucian scholar who was born in the south of the Yangtze River but made his fortune in the north of the Yangtze River hid his hands in his sleeves, and had a charcoal brazier under his feet.

There was a dilapidated incense table between the two, Zhang Zhaonu sat opposite to Wu Lezhi, and said softly: "That side missed."

"I didn't expect today's Taoist sect to degenerate to this point." Wu Lezhi said with emotion: "The trivial matter is so sloppy. The Town Demon Palace and the Tianshi Mansion failed to take Xu Beiyou's life. Is it the young master of the Sword Sect? With great luck, or are these Taoists who are used to being pampered too useless?"

Zhang Zhaonu smiled and said, "Probably both."

Wu Lezhi narrowed his eyes slightly, like an old cat snuggled up next to the stove in winter, "There is a lot of discussion in the Yuqing Palace, and several peak masters have joined forces to launch an attack on the Zhenmo Palace. The real master still hasn't shown up. It's going to be a mess for a while."

Zhang Zhaonu was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that before the old headmaster of the Taoist sect was about to ascend, the Taoist sect was also in chaos. The autumn leaves are approaching to soar, and the Taoist sect is beginning to appear chaotic. Is it a coincidence or the number of days?
After all, Wu Lezhi has worked with this Kunshan suzerain for more than ten years, and he saw what he was thinking, and said: "Although Wu's cultivation level is not high, I am afraid that there is no hope of ascending to the top of the ascension realm in this life, but reading classics for many years is also considered ascension." I know a thing or two about the matter, I heard that there are two major catastrophes in Feisheng, one is the heavenly catastrophe, and the other is the human catastrophe. Take Shangguan Xianchen as an example. , Shangguan Xianchen survived the catastrophe of heaven but failed to survive the catastrophe of man, so he died and disappeared."

Zhang Zhaonu frowned slightly, and then relaxed his brows quickly.

With the strength of the Taoist sect today, I am afraid that there is no one who can become the head teacher of the Taoist sect. Even if there is, facing the Daomen's mountain gate formation and dozens of earth immortals to protect the law, there is absolutely no life or death. In the world, there are only a handful of monks who can reach the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal. Who would risk their own life to prevent others from ascending?Therefore, most of the people who are in charge of the Taoist sect should be inside the Taoist sect. The last time it was Daoist Qingchen who betrayed the sect, who will it be this time?
Zhang Zhaonu didn't continue to think deeply, because it was related to the number of ascension, even Ziwei Doushu, who was taught by the Taoist sect, was not clear, let alone him who was not proficient in magic.

Wu Lezhi went on to say: "If the Taoist sect is really in chaos, then it is not a good thing for us, because it means that the Jiangnan Taoist sect will shrink in an all-round way. Apart from this Taoist workshop, the Sword Sect can be unscrupulous in other places in Jiangdu. Find us, and kill us."

Zhang Zhaonu sneered disdainfully, "Can it be killed?"

Wu Lezhi said calmly: "It depends on how much Jianzong is willing to pay."

Zhang Zhaonu frowned again.

Wu Lezhi wrote lightly: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken boat still has three catties of nails. Jianzong is no longer what it used to be, but the huge treasures accumulated by Jianzong for thousands of years have not fallen into the hands of Daomen, otherwise Daomen would not We will specially send a Dazheng to stay on Biyou Island, in other words, the current Jianzong may not have the ability to personally kill with a knife, but he has the capital to pay for murder."

Zhang Zhaonu laughed at himself: "Taoism and Xuanjiao are powerful, no one dares to accept the business of Jianzong, but we can replace it in Kunshan. I think that whether it is the imperial court or other sects, they have some confidence to use Jianzong's money to replace them." Let the sword sect eliminate the calamity."

Wu Lezhi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zhang Zhaonu sighed lightly, and said hesitantly: "It's really like watching the dishes."

Wu Lezhi stretched out his palm that was originally hidden in his sleeve, and gently stirred the charcoal fire in the brazier at his feet with a dead branch, saying: "If it wasn't for that, you and I wouldn't have come here. Isn't it just to make others dare not despise us?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhaonu said softly: "Some want to drink, do you have any wine?"

Wu Lezhi smiled and said: "I want to drink when I am proud, I want to drink when I am frustrated, I want to drink after killing someone, and I want to drink after that. I think everything else is fake, only wanting to drink is real."

While speaking, he took out a wine jar with a little earthy smell from behind him, and said, "The 18-year number one scholar red just dug out from the ground is specially prepared for you."

Zhang Zhaonu was not polite, and directly grabbed the wine jar into his hands with a blank hand. After taking off the mud seal, he first took a deep breath of the wine, and then opened his mouth to inhale. A thread flew straight into his mouth.

It didn't take a moment for a jar of wine to bottom out, in exchange for Zhang Zhaonu's word "enjoyment".

Wu Lezhi said with half regret: "If you drink like a cow, it's really a bull chewing peonies. It's a disservice to the scenery. If I knew this, it would be enough to give you a jar of worthless Erguotou."

Zhang Zhaonu shook the wine jar lightly, "If I want to drink it, Erguotou's is better. After all, the Huadiao wine in Jiangnan is too soft."

Wu Lezhi said slowly: "Whether it's Erguotou in Jiangbei or Huadiao in Jiangnan, they can't compare to this beautiful country. Shangguan Xianchen once said that when wine enters the guts of a man, it becomes sword energy, and it's just a mouthful. Half a sword sect, what can you get in exchange for this altar of wine?"

"One Jiangdu? One Jiangnan?"

Zhang Zhaonu put down the wine jar in his hand and did not speak.

Wu Lezhi said in a deep voice: "We chose Jianzong this time, in fact, it was a risky gamble. People in the Tianshi Mansion once told me that Jianzong was originally a Dazheng of the Qing Dynasty who was inherited from one of the three personal disciples of the Taoist ancestor. There are so many secrets hidden in the sect, and no one can tell clearly. Fighting against such a sect, the variables are extremely large. Taiyi's rescue of Ku Tianzun is a lesson from the past, but we have no other choice, because Tang Shengyue is blue. Yu's junior sister, Qin Mumian is Wanyan Beiyue's senior sister, we can't move them, we can only choose Zhang Xueyao, whose husband died."

Zhang Zhaonu sighed and nodded, "That's the only way to go."
