That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 871
The Xingluo formation was destroyed by Xu Beiyou, and Zhong Li Aning fell to the ground, severely injured, unable to fight anymore.

Xu Beiyou put away the Twelve Swords of Jianzong and Zhu Xian together. If he insisted on killing Zhongli Anning at this time, it would not make much difference whether he had a sword or not.

Zhongli Anning is also a person who can take it easy, he can afford it and let it go, his expression changed a little during the fight, but after losing, he put it down completely, and said with a casual smile: "The skills are inferior to others, there is nothing to say, let's do it. "

Xu Beiyou was silent for a while, and asked: "After one death, a hundred years of hard work will be in vain, so why bother?"

Zhongli Anning sat cross-legged on the ground instead, and said plainly: "It's hard to find longevity in this life, instead of dying in a quiet room, it's better to do something that benefits the sect, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of the sect."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "From this point of view, you and I are on the same path."

Zhong Li An Ning laughed it off.

Xu Beiyou stared at the woman's face. The last time I heard about her, it happened that Jianzong teamed up with Buddhism and Xuanjiao to expel Jiangnan Daomen. She rescued Du Haichan from Murong Xuanyin at the last moment. At that time, she looked like An old woman in her sixties, but when Xu Beiyou saw her again today, she had the appearance of a 30-year-old young woman. Xu Beiyou had some vague guesses in his heart. Just as Zhong Li Aning himself said, this may be a sign of the coming of the end.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Jianzong's millennium inheritance cannot be broken in my hands."

Zhongli Anning, who was sitting cross-legged, hesitated a little, and then said with a smile: "If you say that I am all for the sake of the sect, it is not entirely true. If it were not for your Jianzong to destroy the foundation of Jiangnan Daomen in Jiangdu, I would not take the initiative to embarrass you. After all It is true that I am a member of the Taoist sect, and even more so, Du Mingshi is my senior brother, and I have a great favor, no matter how unsatisfactory his descendant Du Haichan is, I can't just stand by and watch."

Xu Beiyou suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

Zhongli Anning said softly: "I'll make an exception and say some frank words to you, treat them as my last words, now that I've finished speaking, why don't you take action?"

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "Someone once warned me that if you carry a sharp weapon, you will kill yourself. The higher the status and the higher the realm, the more you must know how to stop killing. There is no grudge between you and me, it's just that we are in different positions. If you are willing to swear that you will never get involved in worldly affairs, I don't have to kill you."

Xu Beiyou looked at Zhongli Anning, but unexpectedly the woman didn't hesitate, she just shook her head and said, "Your Excellency's kindness, I appreciate it, but the way of the sword is inconsistent, Zhongli Aning, who is about to die, is unwilling to live against his will."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time, and murmured: "One is unwilling to go against his will, and the other is unwilling to live, Xu Beiyou admires him."

Zhongli An Ning suddenly smiled and said: "I remember when I was young, I just wanted to find a good family, a husband and a teacher, just like my name, to live my life in peace and stability, how could I have thought of getting to where I am today."

Xu Beiyou remained silent, the expression on his face gradually returning to a calm indifference.

Zhongli Anning asked: "I heard that there are countless dead souls under the sword of the heavy weapon Zhu Xian, and there are many famous earth immortals in the world. I wonder if I, an old lady, can enjoy this honor today?"

Xu Beiyou nodded and said a good word.

Zhongli Anning stopped talking, closed his eyes, and waited for death.

The next moment, Zhu Xian came out of the box and his head fell to the ground.

……

Jiangnan, Jiangling, Li's mansion.

Murong Xuan was walking in a bamboo forest, and Fu Zhongtian who had just escaped from the imperial capital in embarrassment was walking with her.

In terms of seniority, the two are considered to be of the same generation, but in terms of age, Murong Xuan is slightly older, and she has watched Fu Zhongtian grow up, so Fu Zhongtian's posture in front of this woman who is also a sister and sister-in-law is really different. high.

The two walked along the path in the bamboo forest until they came to a small lake in the center of the bamboo forest, and stopped. Murong Xuan looked at the sparkling lake, and finally said: "The defeat of the imperial capital does not lie with you, but with you." The reason is that all of us have underestimated Xu Beiyou. We didn’t expect that Xu Beiyou, who is just an earth fairy on the [-]th floor, has the demeanor of Gongsun Zhongmou back then. To be sure, only Qiuye can do it himself, but Qiuye is recuperating, so it is not appropriate to act rashly."

Not only is Murong Xuan beautiful, she even speaks in a special way on weekdays. Rouer is not weak, slow but not slow, fast but not dry, even when encountering big things, she can talk about it, which makes people feel peaceful.

It's just that Fu Zhongtian was still a bit annoyed when he encountered such a big setback, and he said bitterly: "The hateful thing is that Bingchen sees death and does not save him, and just sits on the sidelines, not only wiped out our many years of planning in the imperial capital, even Xiao Shen This Eighteenth Floor Sword Immortal also died, like a broken arm."

"It's not that exaggerated." Murong Xuan smiled, looked at this Taoist nobleman who was 20 years younger than herself, and said flatly: "Xiao Shen is a person who is a generation of three and four. He was able to betray Jianzong yesterday, and today he can Turning his back on the Xiao family, then it is reasonable for him to turn his back on our Daoist sect tomorrow, so if he dies, he will die, there is nothing to regret, and it will be a disaster to keep it sooner or later. As for Bingchen..."

Fu Zhongtian's eyes were gloomy.

Murong Xuan sighed: "This person was emotionally hurt in the early years and had a withdrawn personality. Later, he was suppressed by Dazheng Tianchen in the Demon Suppressing Well for ten years. This is even more so. This time she can agree to Chen Ye to intercept Xu Beiyou. It's not easy, and it's unrealistic to expect her to work hard with others."

Fu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Ma'am, if I can't severely punish Bingchen and make it known to everyone in the Taoist sect, then in the future, everyone will follow this behavior, only caring about self-protection and ignoring the overall situation, then how can I carry out the Daoist sect's grand plan?"

Murong Xuan said slowly: "I fully understand what you said. Recently, Xiao Shen, Bai Liyin and other great masters have been damaged in succession. The hearts of the people in the Taoist sect are fluctuating, but Bingchen is no longer what she used to be. Now she is eighteen. It is a big deal for the Sword Immortal of the Lou Realm to punish her severely, and one must pay attention to the timing, but also to be cautious. If it is a Taoist sect in peacetime, with Qiu Ye sitting in the town, it will not hurt to put her in the Demon Suppressing Well for another ten years. But now is an extraordinary time, and Qiuye can't retreat, if Bingchen betrays Taoism and joins Jianzong in a fit of anger, who can stop her? At that time, how will you and I explain to Qiuye?"

Fu Zhongtian hesitated to speak.

Murong Xuan waved her hand, "Okay, the most important thing right now is to help Xiao Jin defeat Jiangnan and ensure that Jiangnan will not lose again. At this time, it's nothing to go after the matter of the imperial capital or Bingchen." meaning."

Murong Xuan said softly: "I called you to Jiangnan on a special trip this time, just to tell you that at this time, the backyard cannot catch fire."

Fu Zhongtian didn't speak, but sighed heavily.

Murong Xuan was about to continue walking, but suddenly stopped, her expression changed slightly, "Zhong Li An Ning is actually dead."

Fu Zhongtian was shocked and said, "Zhongli Anning from Jiangnan Daomen?"

Murong Xuan nodded, but did not speak.

She turned her head to look north, her eyes were cold and dark.
