That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 517

Xu Beiyou raised his eyes and saw the complexion of the tall man named Sun Jianhe suddenly changed, the muscles on his whole arm were bulging, and there were bean-sized beads of sweat rolling out on his forehead. He didn't know how to use force, but he bent Sun Jianhe's palm bit by bit.

Although Xu Beiyou has a high level of cultivation, he has never been in the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know much about the ways of loose cultivation. On the contrary, Qin Mumian knows it very well, and explained softly: "The little old man is a martial artist , but his physique has taken the path of witchcraft, so at first I mistook him for a monk of witchcraft. The witchcraft likes to use the method of "medicine refining" to refine body, bathe with various medicines, and use external force to restore the body in a short period of time. It achieves the effect of copper skin and iron bones, but this method has many hidden dangers, and it is not beneficial to the Dao of the Earth Immortal, so it has always been regarded as a heretical method by Taoists. The reason why this old man is short is presumably because of "medicine refining" .”

Xu Beiyou couldn't help asking: "Are there still orthodox monks of witchcraft?"

"Yes, why not." Qin Mumian said: "The barbarians in the [-] mountains in southern Xinjiang can persist for so long. In the final analysis, it is not because the witch religion is behind them to support them. There, the witch religion has the same status as the state religion. An elder is no less than a minister in a temple, and a saint in a church is even more equivalent to a princess of a country."

Xu Beiyou was a little puzzled and said: "Aunt Qin, you have been a saint of Xuanjiao, Aunt Tang has been a saint of White Lotus, and now there is a saint of witchcraft. Why do sects with the word 'religion' in their names always There is a saint?"

Qin Mumian stared, "How do I know? Who do I ask if you ask me? Who knows what these ancestors are thinking."

While talking here, the situation changed suddenly. Sun Jianhe, who was about to be cornered, took a sudden step, and just happened to step on the shadow of the old man with yellow beard. Immediately, it was difficult to continue, and Sun Jianhe seized the opportunity to wrestle his wrist with a backhand and crush him on the table.

The old man with yellow beard remained silent, took out a dark yellow stone from his sleeve and threw it into Sun Jianhe's arms, then turned and left without looking back.

Sun Jianhe took the dark yellow stone, clasped his hands to the old man's back, and said, "I've accepted it."

Xu Beiyou asked, "What kind of method is this?"

Qin Mumian said: "It's the unique skill of the Taoist Yuqing lineage to hate victory. It can't be regarded as the avenue of ascension, but it is surprisingly easy to use to plot against others. It can often make people hard to guard against."

After the old man with the yellow beard was defeated, no one dared to step forward. Sun Jianhe glanced around, and his eyes fell on Xu Beiyou, who had dazzling white hair. There is also a beautiful woman by your side, presumably he is a direct disciple of a famous and decent family, do you want to condescend to join hands with Sun Mou?"

Sun Jianhe spoke very decently, and Xu Beiyou couldn't refuse him directly. He glanced at Qin Mumian, and Qin Mumian said indifferently, "Look at what I'm doing. People say that a beautiful woman is with me, but I didn't ask her to help me."

Xu Beiyou smiled helplessly, took out a small item from his sleeve, and threw it on the table in front of Sun Jianhe, "Since it's a game of gambling, I'll add a little extra, this jade pendant is from Lantian, from Song Ting, a master of jade carving in Jiangdu." Money, nothing miraculous, not a good thing, but worth some money."

There was another uproar around, and now the statement of the disciples of the famous and decent sect was even more confirmed.

Xu Beiyou didn't care, and said flatly: "Whether you win or lose, this jade pendant will be given to Your Excellency. If I win by chance, I will only take away the seal of the Confucian School. I don't know what to do?"

"That's very good." Sun Jianhe nodded, his face was a little dignified. He knew that although these disciples of the sect were all high-spirited, they still had real skills. Kind of emboldened.

The two held hands together, and after Sun Jianhe exhaled heavily, he suddenly exerted force.

The surrounding ground rumbled, and cracks appeared, and the turbid air caused the dust to fly, making the crowd of onlookers retreat.

Xu Beiyou's face was calm, he didn't shake, his palm lightly rested on the palm of Sun Jianhe's, seemingly without effort, but Sun Jianhe's palm couldn't move.

Sun Jianhe's heart shuddered, his face was not very good-looking, and he took another deep breath, actually swallowing the surrounding heaven and earth vitality whales into his stomach, and a series of thunderous noises sounded between his chest and abdomen, which made people feel clearly He felt a surge of energy all over his body.

Xu Beiyou only felt a huge force coming from the palm of his hand, although it was still difficult to shake his figure, but Xu Beiyou believed that when he was in the realm of immortality, it would be absolutely difficult to resist such a huge force head-on.

Xu Beiyou was a little curious about the roots of Sun Jianhe, he knew a lot of things, and his cultivation level was not low, even if he wasn't as good as Huo Xichen, he was not far behind, and he shouldn't be unknown.

Outside of Xu Beiyou's mind wandering, Sun Jianhe's expression was very ugly, because he felt as if he was facing a big mountain, no matter how you moved, he still remained motionless, and he probably lost his sight this time, and was about to stumble .

However, he still has the last means to suppress the bottom of the box, which is the technique of disgusting victory that Qin Mumian said. At this time, he can only gamble.

Sun Jianhe raised his foot and stepped on Xu Beiyou's shadow. He was afraid that Xu Beiyou would take precautions and hide for a while, but he never thought that Xu Beiyou would still stand still and let him step on the shadow.

A look of joy appeared on Sun Jianhe's face at first, but it didn't last long before it turned into a look of horror. He had tried all kinds of tricks before and failed to succeed!

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "Your Excellency's methods have been used? Then it will be my turn."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Beiyou suddenly exerted force in his hand, and with a bang, the whole tea stand seemed to jump, and the teacups and kettles on the table jumped up and down again, without changing their positions at all, and the tea was not spilled at all.

Sun Jianhe's body flickered, almost staggered and fell to the ground. He took a few steps back unsteadily, and sat down on a bench. His palm, which was holding Xu Beiyou's, rested on the table, trembling slightly. .

After a long time, he threw the seal to Xu Beiyou with his other hand, and said hoarsely, "Young Hero won."

Xu Beiyou caught the seal, cupped his hands and said, "Concession."

……

Leaving the tea stand, Xu Beiyou played with the "Ye Ming" seal and said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such strange people in Julu City. Last time I came and went in a hurry, but I didn't care."

Qin Mumian said: "It's not that you didn't care, but that the fight between Gongsun Zhongmou and Chen Ye was a bit too big last time, and ordinary monks were scared away long ago. Who still stays in Julu City, for fear that Chi Yu won't be hurt? "

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the reason."

Qin Mumian said softly: "You are now the head of Jianzong, but there are too few masters in Jianzong. Have you ever thought about taking this person under his command? Even if you don't use the name of Jianzong, you can use Han Xuan's name as a disciple. the same."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "Thinking about it, but now is not the time, at least I have to wait until I have established a firm foothold in the imperial capital before doing this. Right now, the most important thing is to win over Xiao Mahe."

Qin Mumian asked, "How will you find him in the future?"

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, then said: "As long as he keeps that jade pendant, then I can naturally find him through another jade pendant, but if he exchanges the jade pendant for silver or gives it to someone else, then we can only say that we The two have nothing to do with each other."
