That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 51

Han Xuan once warned Xu Beiyou that it doesn't matter if you come from a humble background alone, but you must know how to move with the world.It doesn't matter if you haven't seen the big world, but when the big world unfolds in front of your eyes, you are still counting on five yuan for a meal and drinking a bowl of free soup at the store, then it won't work.

This is the truth that Han Xuan realized personally. When he first arrived in Xiaofangzhai, he used the airs of a first-class public official to live the lives of the poor. The money was quickly used up, and life was very miserable.On the contrary, if you climb up with the mentality of a common man, you are destined to not climb high. Even if you are lucky enough to climb to a high place, you will fall badly.

The reason why Gongsun Zhongmou took Xu Beixuan to travel around was to start from the big picture, go through the world, broaden the pattern, broaden the horizon, enhance the charm, and show the grandeur of the family, so as to provoke the heavy burden expected by the two old people .

As Gongsun Zhongmou said, one fate, two luck, three bones, four accumulations of yin skills and five readings, fate is destined by the heavens and cannot be changed. Yin skills are done by the ancestors, and it is a foregone conclusion. Study hard, and now Gongsun Zhongmou and Han Xuan have joined forces to give him a great fortune. Whether he can succeed depends on whether God's will is on their side.

Wushao Ridge is also called Fen Shui Ridge and Hongchi Ridge. The word Wushao Ridge was originally a grassland language. Since Dazheng, the name of Wushao Ridge has gradually replaced the original water divide.

Wushao Ridge faces Shanzhou in the east of Longdong and drives the Hexi Plain in Xiliangzhou in the west. It has been the gateway and throat of the Xiliang Corridor since ancient times.

When Emperor Taizu of Dazheng went on an expedition to the grasslands, although he returned in vain on the Wusi Plain, he recovered the Hexi Plain and incorporated the Hexi Plain into the territory of Dazheng. The Anyuan City in the south of the Five Ridges and the Anmen City in the south of the Five Ridges are lined with beacon towers.

As they approached Anyuan City, there were more and more armored men.

Standing on a high slope, Gongsun Zhongmou looked at the ancient city built on the mountain. At this time, the city wall had become mottled under the attack of wind and sand. Listen carefully, gold and iron horses are still in your ears."

Xu Beiyou didn't intervene. The northwest, especially the grassland, has always been a place with complicated feelings for Master. This is the place where Xiao Huang started his family, and it is also the beginning of Jianzong's downfall.

Gongsun Zhongmou pointed to Anyuan City, and said softly: "After the defeat of Puyuan, I escaped from the grassland from here. I was in a mess all the way, and almost died at the hands of Taoists."

Xu Beiyou seldom explored Master's past. First, the dignity of the teacher, and second, the tragic past of the country's destruction and family destruction. Don't look at the master's current calm and calm, walking around, with the air of no one in the world who doesn't know the king. But Xu Beiyou believes that the past must not be so easy to forget and let go.The calmer the tone, the heavier the mountain in the heart.

Gongsun Zhongmou stepped forward and said, "Go down the mountain."

Xu Beiyou pulled Zhiyun and silently followed behind Gongsun Zhongmou.Wushao Ridge is an important place for military strategists, but now because the grassland has been attached, it is not as strictly closed as before. Except for the two cities of Anyuan and Anmen and many beacon towers that are not allowed to enter easily, other places do not prohibit pedestrians from entering and leaving.

Gongsun Zhongmou said to his apprentice with a hint of a teaching test: "Xiao Mahe invited him to go to Julu City as a teacher, and he must have something to seek. Not surprisingly, the Taoist sect and the imperial court have already heard the news, and they are gearing up to do a good job. I have fallen into a trap, waiting to jump into it as a teacher."

Xu Beiyou frowned and asked, "Is it the news from Lingwu County King Xiao Mahe? He wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Gongsun Zhongmou shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a murder with a borrowed knife. It should be a battle between the crane and the clam for the fisherman's profit. He wanted to provoke me to fight with the Daoist sect so that the imperial court, who was watching from the sidelines, would benefit. I believe this is not Xiao Mohe's heart. Whatever you wish, but no matter whether you are in a temple or in the Jianghu, you cannot help yourself, you must act according to the rules, and there has never been a person who is outside the rules in this world."

Xu Beiyou asked, "Master is going or not?"

Gongsun Zhongmou said with a smile: "Of course, why not? They set up a stage and wait for me, the protagonist, to appear. There is no reason not to go to such a big play."

Although he had guessed for a long time, but when the master said it, Xu Beiyou was still lost for a moment.

Jianzong acted, asked Qingfeng in his hand, and became enlightened with one sword, no matter how tricky you are, you are still a chicken and a dog.

The affairs of the world are nothing more than a matter of one sword.

This is the way of swordsmanship of Jianzong.

A group of people came to the foot of the mountain, and at the intersection of the mountain road, a man wearing the armor of a frontier general had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Gongsun Zhongmou, he knelt down on one knee and presented a scroll with both hands.

Gongsun Zhongmou took the scroll and waved his hand.

The visitor stood up and quickly disappeared from Xu Beiyou's sight.

Xu Beiyou was secretly startled, this person might have a level of cultivation, could he be a disciple of the Sword Sect?After all, the master still bears the name of the master of Jianzong, so he will not be the only disciple.

Gongsun Zhongmou said in a calm voice: "I have been working as a teacher for most of my life, but I still have some foundations. When I pass away as a teacher, they will recognize you as the master. As for whether you can catch them, it depends on your ability. gone."

Xu Beiyou nodded, but did not speak.

At dusk, approaching Anyuan City, Gongsun Zhongmou opened the scroll in his hand, browsed it roughly, and said: "After 40 years, Lan Yu turned over the list of secrets under the box again, and let the Pavilion of secrets under his hands come out." The so-called list of the top ten people in the world. As expected, among the top ten people on the list, the leader of the Taoist sect is the leader, and he is rated as the world's invincible No.1. The second place is the abbot of the Buddhist sect who is the second child of ten thousand years, and Murong Xuanyin is also on the list. The list is up, ranked third, and the fourth is Mr. Zhang Baisui, Mr. Ping An, who has lived in the deep palace for many years. Old Lan Yu picked himself up, and did not make the list on the grounds that he was the judge. If he To be on the list, at least one must be among the top three."

Xu Beiyou has heard of the name of the Heavenly Mystery List, and it is said that this treasure is very miraculous, as long as one reaches the realm of heaven and man, it will be on the list. The list is sensitive, so there is a joke among monks that the real master is the one who can't make it to the list of secrets.

The head teacher of the Taoist school should have the feeling that this profound cultivation can cut off the list of secrets, but he doesn't need to cover it up. The head teacher of the Taoist school should be invincible in the world.

Usually Zhiyun would not interrupt when the master and apprentice were talking, but this time his curiosity was aroused, and he mustered up his courage to ask, "Which rank is Senior Gongsun?"

Gongsun Zhongmou shook his head and smiled, "It's only the eighth place, I'm ashamed of my teacher."

Xu Beiyou silently said the number eight in his heart.

There are millions of monks in the world, the eighth may not sound high, but it is one of the small group of people who stand majestically on the top of the world.

"Just as Xiao Mahe was about to reopen the Julu City Mutual Market, Lan Yu created a list of secrets in the imperial capital to add fuel to the flames. Old Lan has ulterior motives."

Gongsun Zhongmou turned to Xu Beiyou and said, "You don't have to worry about the strengths and losses of the old guys. Under ten people in the world, there is also a special review of the younger generation. There are a few young people here It may be your future enemy. One is the direct disciple of the head teacher of Taoism, named Qi Xianyun, who has already practiced the Sanqing Jue to the fifth level at a young age. A little girl from the side of the family, who practiced the Xiao family's boxing spirit, is also in the realm of immortality, and the other two, one is a swordsman on the grassland, and the other is a ranger who was born in the grasslands of the city, and they are not Yi Yu characters."

Xu Beiyou nodded solemnly.

Among the four, he had already met the little girl from the Xiao family, it was she who rescued Duan Muyu at the last moment, and the other three had never seen her true face.
