That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 819 Dark Surges in the Imperial City

In the third sword fight between Xu Beiyou and Bingchen, Bingchen still spared her life at the last moment. If she did not spare her life and was not afraid of death, then as she herself said, it is hard to say whether she will live or die, but Xu Beiyou was sure to die.But then again, the fundamental purpose of the Taoist sect is to prove the Tao through longevity. As a person in the Taoist sect whose concepts have long been ingrained, Bingchen has not reached the final juncture of life and death, so it is reasonable to cherish his life. Even if she gave up her life and killed her, she would not live to her present age.

Xu Beiyou took out a sword from the sword furnace of Biyou Island from the sword box, passed the letter with the flying sword, and reported safety to Xiao Zhinan and others, but he was not in a hurry to chase Xiao Zhinan and others, but sat cross-legged on the spot , After closing his eyes and staring inwardly, he smiled wryly and was speechless.

The advantage of the supreme sword body is that after cultivation, the body is like a sword. Even if there is no sword in hand, it can still hurt people, but there are gains and losses. While focusing on offense, it is inevitable that it is not as good as heaven and man in defense. Body and the four golden bodies of Buddhism, Xiao Xuan's inexhaustible body of heaven and man can resist the suppression of heaven, and Xu Beiyou's supreme sword body is almost fragmented just by forcing the sword 36 to open the sky. Xiao Xuan's body is a house built of bricks and stones, so Murong Xuanyin's body is almost an earth embryo house, as for Xu Beiyou, it can only be regarded as a thatched house, and now it has become a thatched house after a strong wind. There is only a rough frame left, which cannot shelter the wind, let alone the rain.Especially at this time, after his realm experienced a "rising tide", it began to "ebb tide", falling from the peak of the seventeenth floor to the realm of the sixteenth floor, which made him miserable.

Xu Beiyou tried his best to gather his energy, trying to stabilize his physical injury so that it would not be further aggravated by his fall.It's just that everything is involuntary. Although Xu Beiyou has tried his best to make up for it, his body is still inevitably separated and disintegrated, and many auras continue to dissipate with his body being seriously injured. It is hopeless to quickly recover.

Xu Beiyou sighed helplessly, got up from the ground, and walked along the Qinghe River without any haste, his thoughts began to diverge aimlessly, fighting Bingchen, not to mention what he learned from it, but it did benefit Xu Beiyou a lot, after all Bingchen is a true Earth Immortal at the 36th Floor Realm, and a swordsman who is also proficient in Sword [-]. I have to say that having such an opponent is a great blessing in life. Take Xu Beiyou's master Gongsun Zhongmou as an example, He has gone through countless battles and small battles in his life, and the last battle of his life was handed over to Qiu Ye above the eighteenth floor, but he has no experience of fighting swordsmen who are in the eighteenth floor or the same level. Unfortunately, from this point of view, Xu Beiyou is much luckier than Gongsun Zhongmou.

The death of the emperor Xiao Xuan is the source of the great chaos. Now the world will be in great chaos, and all kinds of hidden masters will be born one after another. But once they are born, they will be trapped in the secular world. It's not a surprising thing, after all, Xiao Xuan, who can be called the living martial saint, is dead. The recognized No. 1 Qiu Ye almost died, and there is no reason for others not to die.

Bingchen was like this, so was Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou stopped, exhaled a long breath, and looked towards the direction of the imperial capital.

……

Undercurrents are surging in the current imperial capital. On the one hand, there are many civil and military officials headed by Han Xuan, and on the other hand, the emperor's close ministers headed by Wei Wuji. The two sides have begun to confront each other seriously.

Not long ago, officials of all sizes, including the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, and the Tongzheng Envoy, went to Ganquan Palace to kneel down and beg to see His Majesty the Emperor, but they were blocked by the Silijian and arrested the leading Guozijian offering wine and Tongzheng. The envoy is in the middle of the matter.Later, when the ministers were discussing matters, Wei Wuji staged an attack on the spot, asking Han Xuan and others who ordered these officials to go to the palace gate to meet him. The man behind the scenes.Han Xuan denied this and refuted it, and the two broke up unhappy.

Today's Wei Wuji can be said to be in power, no longer confined to a Tiance Mansion, and was secretly slandered as the "Regent" by the civil and military officials. The authority of the supervisor of ceremonies to criticize the reds was also in the hands of Wei Wuji when Zhang Baisui was not in the imperial capital. It seemed that he wanted to be the prime minister of the government. If Han Xuan hadn't led the ministers to fight against the ceremony, Wei Wuji would really be the "regent" .

After Wei Wuji returned to Tiance Mansion, he found that an unexpected visitor had come to the Tiance Mansion, sitting behind the official case that should belong to him, holding a cup in one hand and wine jug in the other, pouring himself a drink.

The soldiers of Tiance Mansion all around stood with their hands down, obviously helpless for this old ancestor who came here without authorization, after seeing the Shangguan at this time, it was inevitable that they felt uneasy.

Wei Wuji waved his hands expressionlessly, signaling them to back off.

Everyone felt relieved immediately, and hurriedly left the place.

When there were only two people left in the room, Wei Wuji stood still in front of the case, and said slowly, "It's really a rare visitor."

Xiao Shen didn't have the consciousness of occupying the dove's nest, still didn't get up, drank the wine in the cup, and said: "Xiao Bai handed over this temple to you, but you made it like this, Han Xuan and the others all You have already started to act on your own, and you are still pursuing the matter of those poor wastes knocking on the door, can they still break into the Ganquan Palace?"

Wei Wuji's face sank like water, and he didn't open his mouth to argue or anything.

Xiao Shen continued: "A word of advice to you, put your mind on the government and don't always think about fighting for power. You are not Lan Yu, you can't beat Han Xuan."

Wei Wuji smiled, but his eyes were gloomy, "Thank you for your enlightenment, I will remember it in my heart."

Xiao Shen finally stood up, laughed and left the place.

Wei Wuji looked at Xiao Shen's leaving back, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were deep.

After Xiao Shen left Tiance Mansion, he came to Ganquan Palace unimpeded all the way, and then entered Oasis Palace unimpeded.

Since Xiao Bai is in seclusion, he must have a Dharma protector, and now Xiao Shen is this Dharma protector, who has great authority and can freely enter and leave Oasis Palace.

There are many palaces in Ganquan, the main one is Mingguang Palace. Now Xiao Bai is retreating in Mingguang Palace. Before entering Mingguang Palace, Xiao Shen turned his head and looked in the direction of Tianji Pavilion, with a playful smile on his face.

He mentioned Sapphire in Tiance Mansion just now, but what many people don't know is that this old grand master who has retired is not in the imperial capital at all. Instead of returning to the imperial capital, he went to the Wanzhu Garden located at the junction of Huzhou and Shuzhou to recuperate. Although Zhao Tinghu entered it by chance, the real owners there were Lan Yu and Tang Shengyue after all.If there is no accident, there will be Lan Yu's retirement place, and she will not easily set foot in the imperial capital again in this life.

Xiao Shen turned around and walked into the gate of Mingguang Palace.

At this time, the entire Mingguang Palace was filled with countless golden auras, causing the ground and walls to seem to be coated with a layer of gold.

Xiao Bai sat on the emperor's throne, with his hands on the armrests, his back against the chair, his eyes closed, and his expression majestic. Although the Chuan Guoxie was not in the imperial capital, there were six emperor's seals hanging around his body one by one, surrounded by dark yellow and dark gold. The color is constantly changing, and the breath is vast.
