That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 319 It's All Under the Xiao Family's Roof

Under the watchful eyes of the three Earth Immortals, a slender figure walked out of the attic slowly. Compared with when he entered the attic before, at this time he undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes. This is the case, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between immortals and mortals.

Xu Beiyou bowed to the three of them, thanking the three elders for their help.

Qin Mumian smiled faintly, and the Dragon King returned the salute with palms together.

Zhang Xueyao said with a smile: "Nan Gui, a 22-year-old in the realm of the Earth Immortal, dare not say that there will be no one before or after, but it is only a talented person who has been exiled to have a scene. It is amazing."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "Master, if it weren't for the Twelve Swords of the Sword Sect and various opportunities, I would never have set foot in the realm of the Earth Immortal."

Zhang Xueyao took a step forward, stretched out her hand to help him straighten his clothes, and said softly: "Those who have set foot in the realm of the earth and fairy have never used the power of external objects, and who have no chance, you don't have to feel inferior to others. After this matter is settled, Master and I will really enjoy the blessings, as for whether you want to bring Jianzong to the imperial ship in the future, it is up to you."

Xu Beiyou's eyes were complicated, and he hummed lightly.

After he entered the realm of the Earth Immortal in one fell swoop, he absorbed Zidian's sword energy and spirit. Now he is about the level of the third floor of the Earth Immortal.

Xu Beiyou first entered the realm of the earth fairy, and gradually he has a very peaceful atmosphere. Even if he is entangled in the karma of Chi Lian, it is still difficult to hide his own vitality like the rising sun.

Most of the monks in the world are like this. The higher the realm climbs, the stronger their aura will become. As long as they don't go against the trend, it will be difficult to reach the point where their aura is exhausted. Extreme but all died by accident. In the final analysis, it was because of going against the trend. God forbids you.

The prosperity of Daoism is the general trend, Xu Beiyou wants to revive Jianzong, it is not easy.

As the night was getting dark, Qin Mumian simply ordered someone to host a banquet to celebrate Xu Beiyou.

That night Xu Beiyou stayed in the Qin Mansion, and did not return to the Gongsun Mansion in Ronghuafang until the next morning.

As soon as he entered the door, the eight sword masters in the Jianqi Lingkong Hall, including Song Guanguan, had already bowed to the ground, "My subordinates congratulate the young master for entering the realm of the earth fairy."

Xu Beiyou smiled, raised his hands empty-handed, and lifted up all eight of them with his own aura, "You guys are well informed."

Song Guanguan said softly: "The mistress sent someone to deliver the message."

Xu Beiyou hummed, waved his hand and said, "Guanguan, you stay here, everyone else should leave."

The other seven promised and left separately.

Xu Beiyou stepped forward and ordered: "Officer, in a few days, there may be an accident in Jiangdu City. You arrange your manpower to protect Senior Sister Zhang, Junior Sister Li and Junior Sister Wu, and don't let them be affected."

Song Guanguan nodded in response.

Today's Song Guanguan is already in the realm of immortality. As early as when she met Xu Beiyou for the first time, she had already stepped on the threshold of the realm of immortality. She stayed on this threshold for many years until she obtained Shangguan Qinghong's inheritance Finally, it only took half a year to reach the realm of human immortality. Although he is not comparable to Chi Bing, he is almost the same as Yu Jia, Xuan Yi and others, and he is much better than Zhang An, Li Qinglian and Wu Yu.

Although people at this age in the realm of immortality can't compare with Qi Xianyun and Xiao Yuyi, they are still enough to be called young talents.

After Song Guanguan left, Xu Beiyou walked slowly in the Gongsun Mansion with his hands behind his back, until he arrived at the Hou Mansion, and climbed up a watchtower that had not been used for many years. The wall, the city wall of Jiangdu, finally crossed the river and looked far to the north.

——In the north at this time, the undercurrent is more turbulent than in the south of the Yangtze River, and this undercurrent has nothing to do with Taoism, it all comes from the imperial court.

There has been a saying in the practice world, called Jiangbei Wuzongmen.

Zhang Zhaonu, who is number nine in the world, can dominate Jiangbei, but Murong Xuanyin, who is firmly in the top three in the world, has a head and a bloody head in Jiangnan. It can be seen how far the power of Jiangbei's sect has declined. The traditional sect's power is almost They were all swept away. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Kunshan, there might not be a single sect in Jiangbei that could be sold.

There is no other reason why the Jiangbei Zongmen has turned into the bleak situation it is today. It is because Jiangbei is where the imperial capital is located. The closer it is to the imperial capital, the stronger the power of the imperial court will be. Even the earth immortals dare not set foot on it easily.

There is a vulgar saying that in the imperial capital city, there are as many princes as dogs, dignitaries walk around, and when a brick falls on ten people, nine of them are officials.

It can be seen how many officials there are in the imperial capital.

However, compared with local officials, Beijing officials are far inferior to the level of freedom.

As the saying goes, living in the capital is not easy.

From ordinary people to petty officials to real dignitaries, everything is like this.

In the final analysis, today is the world of families, the world of one family and one surname.

After all, such a huge imperial city is still the imperial capital of the Xiao family. In this majestic city, who is not under the fence?Who is not under the roof of the Xiao family?The common people of the city, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the meritorious relatives, and even the monks of the Taoist sect, all of them were under the roof of the Xiao family, and they all had to bow their heads.

Only the members of the Xiao family are the real masters of this city.

The Xiao family has always been sparsely populated. Leaving aside the various kings who enfeoffed each other, there are only a dozen or so people left in the imperial capital. If we talk about the orthodox lineage, apart from His Majesty the Emperor, there are only two His Royal Highnesses Princesses.

One is the widowed eldest princess, and the other is the unmarried princess.

According to the law of Daqi, the princess is higher than the county king and is equivalent to the prince, especially the eldest princess, who was once the queen of the previous dynasty, and her status is very different.

Her Royal Highness the Elder Princess is the elder sister of His Majesty the Emperor, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, the two princesses have a nephew-aunt relationship cultivated by urinating. They have a very good relationship and often communicate with each other.

On the first day of February, Her Royal Highness the Princess visited the Eldest Princess Mansion.

It's strange to say that aside from the other clans, the men of the Xiao family's direct lineage are all named after a single character, such as Xiao Lie, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Bai, Xiao Li, without exception, and the females are named after two characters. Because of this, Her Highness the Princess is named Xiao Zhinan, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is named Xiao Yuyi.

When the first emperor and the empress dowager were alive, because of the guilt towards this daughter, they doted on her very much, but Xiao Yuyi was not proud of being doted on, and lived in seclusion on weekdays, so much so that most of the imperial capital forgot that there was such a master.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor didn't forget, he never forgot his widowed sister when he received various rewards, and Xiao Zhinan would not forget either, as long as he was in the imperial capital, he would go to the eldest princess's mansion almost every month.

When Xiao Zhinan saw Xiao Yuyi, he didn't deliberately put on his usual dignified airs, instead he looked like a little girl in front of the elders, rarely showing a cute and naive attitude.

Xiao Yuyi was also a beauty when she was young, but the ups and downs of the years made her look a little haggard, standing with her naturally beautiful niece, she even showed a little old.

It's just that she is a woman who has experienced the great world after all. She once followed the late emperor to compete in the world, and she was also the last queen of the Zheng Dynasty. .

The two noble women who are second only to the empress in the court hall walked slowly along the promenade around the lake, not for enjoying the scenery. No matter how ingenious the scenery in the princess mansion is, after all, they have seen it for most of their lives, and there is nothing new to say In the final analysis, the aunt and nephew wanted to walk and talk together.
