That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 681

Just when Mingchen's mind was completely immersed in it, and gradually entered the state of holding the circle and keeping the unity, there was a sudden "squeak" sound of the door opening next to his ear, which was no less than a thunder from heaven.

Ming Chen suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the two women who appeared in front of him.

Ming Chen recognized one of them, and asked in surprise, "Princess Qi Yang?"

The person who came was Xiao Zhinan. At this time, she was in a relaxed state of mind, with a kind of calmness exuding from her bones, without any arrogance. Some demeanor, coupled with the masked woman following her, made Ming Chen very hesitant.

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Qi Yang has seen a real person."

She pointed to the woman next to her, "This is the shadow of the Tiance Mansion, and also my guard."

Ming Chen was the one who was most familiar with the imperial court among the Taoists, so he thought it through all at once.

Tiance Mansion was born out of the four major secret guards directly under Emperor Xiao, namely Prajna, Evil Tiger, Ghost, and Shadow. In the earliest days, Prajna could only be ranked last, and Shadow was the head of the four major secret guards. , but later the evil tiger, the ghost, and the shadow passed away one after another, and only Prajna Zao Wou-ki was still alive, which turned into a situation where Prajna was the leader.

Ming Chen smiled and said: "Pindao used to work with the shadow of the previous generation."

The shadow standing quietly beside Xiao Zhinan did not speak. She took advantage of Ming Chen's unpreparedness and stabbed Ming Chen with the dagger in her hand that was poisoned with "down to earth", causing him to be infected with this kind of earth immortal cultivator. You have to be wary of the three-point poison, so you have to come here to treat the poison with golden pills.

Back then when Han Xuan inspected the Chinese army, he promised Qu Chang'an that there would be someone from the Tiance Mansion to assist him, and the shadow was the one who would assist him. If Ming Chen hadn't personally acted this time, she would have killed Qu Chang'an Chang'an's striker was replaced by Ming Chen, she was unable to confront Ming Chen head-on, so she hid in the army, waiting for the opportunity, and finally stabbed Ming Chen's sword at the last moment, killing the Daoist Chen. Real people are forced into the present situation.

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "I came here this time to follow the late emperor's oracle to send Dazheng to ascend to immortality as soon as possible."

Ming Chen's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Just relying on this shadow beside the princess? It's not that the poor are arrogant. It's a big deal but I don't want this hut, and I have the confidence to keep the two princesses here."

Xiao Zhinan nodded with a smile, and then his popularity rose steadily.

From the ninth rank to the first rank, and then from the first rank to the realm of ghosts and immortals, there was a slight pause until the peak of the realm of human immortality.

However, this pause is not the end, but a new beginning, and then Xiao Zhinan crossed the barrier of the Earth Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, and is still on the way up.

A group of golden rays of light shrouded her body.

In the third floor of the Earth Immortal, the golden light on Xiao Zhinan's body was as real as it was.

When the Earth Immortal was on the fifth floor, Xiao Zhinan's body gradually became like wind and thunder.

When she was in the Ninth Floor of the Earth Immortal, her figure was blurred and wobbly.

When the Earth Immortal Twelve-Story Building, Xiao Zhinan formed a small world of his own, completely covering this single-family courtyard, which already had the meaning of Taoism's illusory realm, or the atmosphere of the Whirling World of Buddhism.

It was the first time in Mingchen's life that he had seen such a climb to the realm. Compared with it, it took Xu Beiyou nearly three years to climb to the eighth floor of the Earth Immortal, which is not worth mentioning at all.

……

Just after Qingchen was dragged into the mausoleum, Xiao Yu went to see Xu Beiyou, while Lin Yinping had some conversations with Xiao Zhinan.

When Lin Yinping passed away, Xiao Zhinan was only a few months old, so he had no impression of this imperial grandmother at all, but one thing is undeniable, Lin Yinping loved this eldest granddaughter very much, and passed on most of his belongings to her. This granddaughter included Mudan and Banlan, so Xiao Zhinan had a natural affection for this imperial grandmother whom he had never met, and after meeting him at this time, he felt closer.

In front of Xiao Zhinan, Lin Yinping didn't have any airs of being an elder. He took her hand and looked left and right, as if he couldn't get enough of it. Xiao Zhinan, who is usually generous and generous, smiled shyly, except because the status of the emperor's grandmother was too detached. The reason is more because she seldom has this kind of experience.

Among the few elders, the royal father is busy with state affairs, and the father and daughter rarely have the opportunity to be alone, and the empress mother puts most of her energy on her elder brother Xiao Bai. Because of his experience, he was often overly depressed. Elders like Lin Yinping were very unfamiliar to Xiao Zhinan.

As far as their looks are concerned, they seem to be passed down from generation to generation, and they are indeed very similar. At this time, Lin Yinping is about thirty years old, and standing with Xiao Zhinan, they look more like a pair of sisters.Of course, in terms of aura, the two are very different. Xiao Zhinan is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, while Lin Yinping is full of sharpness and majesty. It is no wonder that he is said to have suppressed two generations of Xiao Emperors woman.

Lin Yinping asked: "I heard that you were plotted by a villain some time ago, is it all right?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said: "There is no serious problem."

Lin Yinping sighed softly, "Like me, I also suffered from lack of cultivation back then. I have been in poor health and sick all day long. I almost died several times. Fortunately, Mingguang didn't mind it and kept going. He will never leave me, not to mention anything else, he is the emperor of a country, and he will only marry me in this life, which is very rare. By the way, how about your husband Xu Beiyou? Has he been messing around outside?"

Xiao Zhinan blushed slightly and said, "He... treats me very well."

Lin Yinping nodded, and said softly: "That's good, but women can't just rely on men in the world, they still have to hold up half the sky by themselves. Before I leave, I will give you another gift, which is considered to be your dowry. No matter what happens, you won’t be helpless.”

Xiao Zhinan asked cautiously: "What is that?"

Lin Yinping smiled and said, "A fortune."

……

The good fortune that Lin Yinping said was indeed a good fortune that surpassed the heavens and the earth. It actually allowed Xiao Zhinan, a man with no self-cultivation, to ascend to the sky in one step and become a great monk with the twelve floors of the earth immortal. According to what Lin Yinping said, If Xiao Zhinan's body was not too weak and his foundation was not too shallow, he would have been able to reach the realm of the sixteenth floor of the earth immortal in one go.

Of course, this "good luck" did not come out of thin air, but Lin Yinping's own cultivation, but now that she is about to fly away with Xiao Yu, this sixteenth-floor cultivation is already dispensable, So I simply gave it to myself as a granddaughter, but Xiao Zhinan is no better than Xu Beiyou. If Xu Beiyou is a big lake of [-] miles, and the cultivation base of the eighteenth floor of Sandixian can be all down, then Xiao Zhinan is just a small pond. Most of her cultivation base was used to open up the pond, so at this time she only had the twelfth floor realm left.

But even if there is only the realm of the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, joining forces is also the shadow of the Earth Immortal realm, and it is more than enough to deal with a Mingchen whose cultivation base has plummeted.

Ming Chen didn't care about the golden elixir and residual poison in his body, so he wanted to get out of his body.

But the shadow is already a rescue step, the dagger in his hand pointed at Ming Chen's eyebrows, and he was about to nail his soul to death in the Zifu.

Ginger is old and spicy, Ming Chen immediately gave up on getting out of his body, waved his big sleeve, like painting a landscape with splashed ink, the energy rushes out.

However, the shadow caused Ming Chen to be terrified for a moment. Instead of retreating, he advanced instead, letting the majestic energy approach him, and still pierced his forehead with a sword.

Ming Chen was about to shatter this woman's internal organs with one sleeve, and the shadow was already bleeding from all seven orifices.

At this moment, Xiao Zhinan finally made a move, and many invisible "rules" emerged out of thin air in this small thousand world, just like the laws of the imperial court guarding the people, which weighed heavily on Ming Chen, preventing him from moving a bit.

Shadow paid a huge price, dripping blood all over his body, and finally came to Ming Chen, pierced his forehead with a sword, then changed hands to hold the hilt of the sword, increased the strength, pushed forward, and the dagger passed through his brain , Nailed the head of this big real person to the wall.
