That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 62

Walking alone on the way to Julu City, and meeting several waves of businessmen who left from Julu City, Xu Beiyou felt that he really knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the Tiger Mountains.

Why go to Julu City?Xu Beixuan walked on the muddy prairie, thought for a while, besides the truth, there was also a bit of the heroic spirit of his youth.When he was a child, he heard his master describe that different world, and heard Zhang Suheng talk about the battle between Gongsun Zhongmou and the Eastern Ghost Emperor, and about the fact that the master of the Temple of Suppressing Demons invited Gongsun Zhongmou to fight. Of.

Flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, moving mountains and seas, calling wind and rain, isn't this the world I most yearn for?

Since I am yearning, when the opportunity to step into this world appears in front of my eyes, how can I not seize it?
Julu City was his first step into this fairy world.

Xu Beiyou thinks he knows his master better. He is unsmiling on weekdays, and occasionally feels a little sentimental about the past, but when it comes to critical moments, he will become indifferent and free and easy to see through the world. This is an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world. He has many stories, but not Annoy people.

But along the way, Xu Beiyou heard rumors about Gongsun Zhongmou, but there were different opinions. Some said that Gongsun Zhongmou was a peerless murderer. Leaving half of them alive, even once slaughtering an entire city with one sword, tens of thousands of unjust dead souls under the sword, the murderous intent alone can make ordinary people fall to death directly.It is also said that he is actually a peerless sword idiot who is passionate about swords. He does not kill mortals, but only gods. The reason why Taoists hate him so much is because he killed three Daoist masters in a row.What's more, he is simply a puppet secretly supported by the imperial court. In fact, his real identity is the number one guest minister of Tianzihao in the Great Inner Palace. .

As for the most bizarre statement, it is also the most daring statement, saying that Gongsun Zhongmou and the Daoist sect leader were good friends when they were young, because Zhang Xueyao, who was ranked third among the four beauties, turned against each other, so that the brothers fought against each other. In the end, Gongsun Zhongmou embraced the beauty, and the two parted ways completely.Although the head teacher of the Taoist sect became a Taoist partner with Murong Xuan, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world, he still had a grudge against the loss of his wife back then, so after ascending to the position of head teacher, he ordered the Temple of Demons to be suppressed. He chased and killed Gongsun Zhongmou without end.

It has to be said that the rich imagination of these rumors is enough to amaze the listeners, make several parties dumbfounded, and even Xu Beiyou amazed.

Xu Beiyou walked unhurriedly, thinking of these rumors, he felt inexplicably better.

From this point of view, Master is already a legendary figure. Since he is a legendary figure, how can something happen so easily?
At this moment when his mind was distracted, Xu Beiyou suddenly felt vigilant, but before he could make a move, his eyes were covered by a pair of cold hands from behind, and then a soft voice with a smile rang in his ears: " Guess who I am?"

Xu Beiyou's body stiffened suddenly, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Forgive me for being blunt, I can't figure it out."

"Then I will give you a hint, the sword qi volleys in the air."

"Could it be the Sword Qi Lingkong from the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall? Could it be that the girl is from the Sword Sect?"

"Young master, do you know who the slave family is?"

"Still don't know."

"Young master, you are now the young master of the Sword Sect."

"I don't know. I don't know how many people there are in Jianzong. I only know the master of Jianzong, Gongsun Zhongmou. Are you Gongsun Zhongmou?"

"You can't talk nonsense about this. Although you are the young master, you can't call the suzerain by his name directly, let alone make fun of the suzerain. Be careful that the suzerain punishes you to kneel on the sword."

"So miserable?"

"Of course, when Madam was still in Jianzong, she was in charge of the Punishment Department. What about holding a sword, kneeling a sword, hanging a sword, and piercing a sword? It's really miserable. Do you want to hear it, my lord? If you want to hear it, let the servant slow down." Slowly tell the son."

"Why didn't I think Master was so strict?"

"Hey, in fact, many people think that you are the suzerain's illegitimate son. This is the first time we have seen the suzerain be so patient, and he treats his own son like that."

"Tsk tsk, when I see Master, I must convey the exact words to the old man."

"My lord~~~, I was wrong. Don't tell the suzerain this sentence. If the suzerain finds out, I will die." Blindfolding Xu Beiyou's hands, he turned out from behind, held Xu Beiyou's hand and kept shaking it, his voice was sweet and cloying.

Xu Beiyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me, but you have to tell me your identity."

Song Guanguan finally restrained his joking demeanor, let go of Xu Beiyou, took a step back, folded his sleeves and saluted, and said respectfully: "Song Guanguan, sword master of Jianqi Lingkong Hall, has met the young master."

Xu Beiyou frowned. He still couldn't accept the title of young master. To him, the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall was a double-edged sword, which could hurt others as well as himself. As far as he was concerned, he rashly accepted this The identity of the young master is no different from a child holding a sharp sword. If you can't hurt others, you can only hurt yourself. Even if there is a master standing behind, it will attract a lot of dissatisfaction and disdain.

Xu Beiyou slowly shook his head and said, "What kind of young master am I? I'm just Master's apprentice. As for who will inherit the Sword Sect in the future, I can't figure it out until Master speaks."

Song Guanguan smiled and said sternly: "Young master, it would be boring if you deceive yourself and others. The suzerain spent so much effort to train you. Who else can pass on the honor of the suzerain of the sword sect to you? There is a Han Wenbi, who is a big man who works hard, I don't know how much higher than us little people who work hard."

Xu Beiyou frowned and said, "Don't call me Young Master, I'm Xu Beiyou."

Song Guanguan is only in his twenties now, perhaps because of his young age, he still retains a little girlish innocence, pouted and said: "Your name can be called by the suzerain, but not by slaves. This is the rule, if it is bad If you follow the rules, you will be punished after being found out by the suzerain."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak.

Song Guanguan thought for a while, then suddenly took Xu Beiyou's arm, and said, "Why don't I call you Young Master, how about it?"

Xu Beiyou had only just been promoted to the second-rank realm, so he couldn't hide from Song Guanguan, a master of ghosts and immortals, so he could only let him do what he did, and said helplessly, "Okay, son, let's be son."

Song Guanguan still held Xu Beiyou's arm and asked, "Master, are you going to Julu City?"

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "I want to take a look."

Song Guanguan said softly: "My son went at the right time. Different forces in Julu City are entangled and intricate. I just came out of there and I am barely familiar with the situation. At present, there are several forces worth noting. First of all, The Daoist sect headed by the Lord of the Town Demon Palace is the strongest, followed by the local land snake Lingwu County Palace, which represents the imperial court, and then our Sword Sect. The three families present a tripartite confrontation. Court, Molun Temple, and even chess pieces from the Northwest Frontier Army are mixed in, trying to fish in troubled waters."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "It really is a mess of fish and dragons."

Song Guanguan leaned his head on Xu Beiyou's shoulder, and said softly: "Not long ago, my family heard that there was an unknown swordsman on the Xiulong Grassland who killed twelve wolf thieves. I think that unknown swordsman is the young master who is killing people and practicing swords. Since the slaves can guess, the people in the Town Demon Palace are not fools, so they set up arrests around Julu City and wait for the young master to come to the door. The slave family has already solved one on the way here, and then let the slave family escort the young master to Julu City. OK?"

Xu Beiyou said hello softly.

"Miss Song."

"It's good for the young master to call you an official of the slave family."

"Guan...Guan, let go, I won't run away again."

"My lord, you are now the young master of the Sword Sect, and gold is very precious, so I have to protect you every step of the way."

"Then don't do that, as the saying goes, a man and a woman don't know each other, what's the proper way?"

"My family has been practicing swords since I was a child, but I haven't learned any classics of sages, let alone the three obediences and four virtues. I don't know what kind of men and women the young master is talking about."

"My daughter, can you be more reserved?"

"The suzerain said that from now on, I will be the young master's maidservant. I will serve you when I dress and eat, and I will be the housekeeper in the future. How can I be reserved."
