That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 530 How happy should you be?

Julu City is a gathering place for many monks and merchants. There are also many chess pieces buried here by various forces. The news of the two major battles in Julu City was quickly spread by these people. As the owner of the Tianji Pavilion, he has been " Sapphire, who is not doing business properly, finally did something serious, taking advantage of the wind from the battle between Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin, and freshly released a new list of secrets.

Compared with the previous list, this time the list of secrets obviously requires a lot of attention. Most monks are convinced of it, so it has spread all over the world in just a dozen days.

At this time, Xu Beiyou and Qin Mumian had already left Julu City. After entering the customs through Xilingkou, they entered the territory of Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Zhili Prefecture, which is known as the gateway to the imperial capital. They were well informed, and the two quickly heard about the latest Tianji news.

To be precise, Qin Mumian received the news, and then she relayed it to Xu Beiyou.

"Sapphire has spent some thought on making the list of secrets this time. It is not as secretive as last time. It only uses an autumn leaf as a facade. This time, many old kings... guys who are hiding in the bottom of the water have been lifted out. Well, generally speaking, it is not inferior to the several list of secrets made by Mr. Fu when he was alive."

Xu Beiyou didn't miss the word "Lao Wangba" that Aunt Qin almost blurted out, and asked, "Aunt Qin is on the list?"

Qin Mumian immediately gave him a chestnut, and said with a grin, "I'm shabby, aren't I? It's been said that this time the Tianji list is very important, and those who can make the list are truly top talents."

Xu Beiyou might have gotten used to it, so he didn't even need to rub his head, and said with a smile, "Then ask Aunt Qin to tell me, so that I, a country bumpkin, can open my eyes."

Qin Mumian took a sip of the jasper gourd and said unhurriedly, "Taoist headmaster Qiu Ye, even if he can't retreat, he is still the No. 1 in the world, and no one can shake him."

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "As expected, what about the second person?"

Qin Mumian played with taste: "Guess?"

Xu Beiyou thought about it seriously, "I guess it's the invincible Wanyan Beiyue."

Unexpectedly, Qin Mumian shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the position of the second person in the world should be in Wanyan Beiyue's pocket. After all, he has always been regarded as someone who can match Qiuye, but this time Lan Yuzhi ranked him third, presumably because he couldn't recover Murong Xuanyin for a day, he couldn't be compared with Qiuye for a day. As for the second person, you are no stranger to him, he is Qiuye's uncle who betrayed his family. And Lan Yu did not shy away from commenting on the Master Qingchen, who bluntly said that this Master Qingchen is only a short distance away from Ascension. It’s just a Linglong Pagoda.”

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "At the bank of the Han River back then, Master Qingchen easily overwhelmed the Dragon King of Buddhism and Li Qingyu with his own strength. He was indeed worthy of being the second person in the world. Now that the top three have been eliminated, then I guess the fourth person is Murong Xuan Yin?"

Qin Mumian held up the jasper gourd and took another sip of wine, squinted his eyes carefully to savor the aftertaste of the wine, and after breathing out a mouthful of wine, he said, "That's right, the fourth is indeed the leader of Xuanjiao, and the fifth is Qiuyue, the abbot of Buddhism. Among the three religions, only Confucianism has never been ranked among the top five."

Xu Beiyou counted them one by one: "Qiuye, Qingchen, Wanyan Beiyue, Murong Xuanyin, and Qiuyue, two of them came from Taoism, two from Xuanjiao, and one from Buddhism, they really deserve to be the top three in the world. sect."

Qin Mumian glanced at him sideways, and said hesitantly: "At the beginning, your Jianzong occupied one of the top three positions for a whole hundred years, but unfortunately, in Gongsun Zhongmou's generation, you can only rank eighth, although this eighth is somewhat demeaning. , but after all, it is because the Sword Sect is no longer at its peak, and in your generation, there is no one from the Sword Sect on the list of secrets, so how do you feel, the young master of the Sword Sect?"

Xu Beiyou sighed softly, "I'm ashamed of my ancestors."

Qin Mumian curled her lips, and then said: "Let's talk about the sixth person, it is Lan Yu who made the list this time. In my opinion, it is more pertinent for Lan Yu to put herself in the sixth position, but this old boy Su Can hide clumsiness, among the top five, except for Qiu Ye, the other four people dare not say that they are sure to beat the sixth person. The seventh person is Taiyi Save Ku Tianzun, he shouldn't be ranked so low, It's just because the reputation of the previous few people was too high, and he was defeated by you in Jiangdu, so this time he can only be ranked seventh."

Xu Beiyou coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although the words "Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun was defeated by you" is indeed very honorable, but in the end it is not Xu Beiyou's own ability, but the legacy of his master Shangguan Xianchen.

Qin Mumian didn't have the appetite to continue teasing Xu Beiyou, so he told all the remaining three people in one breath, "The eighth person is Sun Shiwu, a Confucian master, who was the last chief minister of the cabinet in the Zheng Dynasty. Now he lives in seclusion and runs an academy to give lectures. Participate in the affairs of the temple. The ninth person is the eunuch Zhang Baisui, who is known as the "inner minister". You must have heard of it, so I won't talk about it. Zhao Qing, this person can be regarded as Xiao Yu's fellow brother, who is proficient in the Xiao family's martial arts, and has a real level of martial arts cultivation on the seventeenth floor, but he has not shown it to others these years, and has been hiding in Da Nei as a child of the Xiao family. Chuan Gong master, that girl Xiao Yuanying's boxing intention is from Zhao Qing."

Qin Mumian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this time, Lan Yu had spent a lot of money, and even picked up Zhao Qing. This time, there are three people from the imperial court, and Daomen accounted for more than half of the top ten list. It can be seen how powerful these two families are. In addition, Lan Yu also named three additional people who have not been on the list, namely Chen Ye, the master of the Demon Town Hall, Zhu Jiuyin, the great elder of the witch religion, and Wei Wei, the governor Forbidden, these three people all have the strength to be on the list, but the result of the former's breakthrough is unknown, and the latter two suffered losses in the southern border war, so they failed to make the list."

Xu Beiyou sighed, "There is no one who uses a sword."

Qin Mumian took a sip, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said slowly: "Actually, there is a sub-list under the list of secrets, commenting on young and handsome people from all walks of life, and there are also ten people. The people on the list this time are Qi Xianyun and Ling Yun, Qingluan Princess Xiao Yuanying of the imperial court, Zhao Tinghu, a casual cultivator, Huo Xishen, a son of the Yuzhou family, Chen Moling, who was born in the Dark Guard Mansion, Min Chun, a son of the Min family, Jin Chan, a Buddhist disciple, and Yan Ruyu, a Xuanjiao disciple. The nine people have either already set foot on the Earth Immortal Realm, or they are only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm, they are ranked first and last, but they are all children playing around, so I won’t list them all.”

Xu Beiyou stretched out a finger and said, "There is still one person short."

Qin Mumian smiled and said: "The last person is naturally you, the famous Mr. Xu. Lan Yu not only ranked you ahead of Qi Xianyun, saying that you are the No. 1 of the younger generation, but also singled you out for a review. Fan, said that you are expected to inherit the mantle of Shangguan Xianchen and become the second great swordsman who is unrivaled in the world. I am afraid that no one in the Taoist sect will be able to compete with you in the future. In my opinion, this old boy Sapphire is not at ease. Praise and kill you, and at the same time say to the Taoist sect, 'This son will cause serious trouble in the future', this is to borrow a knife to kill people."

Xu Beiyou's expression was in a trance.

Qin Mumian finally drank to his heart's content, and hung the jasper gourd back around his waist contentedly.

Xu Beiyou raised his head and looked in the direction of Biyou Island in the East China Sea.

Master, your apprentice is now No.1 in the younger generation.

Akiba won this title back then, and later he really became No.1 in the world.

If many years later, your apprentice can also become No.1 in the world, how happy would you be?
