That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 91

At this time, Xu Beiyou and his master, Gongsun Zhongmou, had already left the Liao Palace. According to the next plan, they were supposed to go to build Daliang City and meet the late founding lord Wanyan Beiyue, who was in town for a year, but they didn't know Why, Gongsun Zhongmou temporarily changed his mind, instead of going to Houjian, he turned to the east all the way to Shizikou, Liaozhou.

As for Houjian, Gongsun Zhongmou sent four swordmasters including Yujia Swordmaster and Song Guanguan to go for him, so this time he went to Shizikou, except for the master and apprentice, no one else accompanied him.

Shizikou is located at the easternmost point of Liaozhou, adjacent to the North Sea. It is the largest port in Liaozhou. It will not be frozen even in the twelfth lunar month. From here, you can go north to the later built Yongming City, or go south to Qi State Jieshi.

After Xu Beiyou and Gongsun Zhongmou came to Shizikou, they didn't stay here too much, and they didn't have much interaction with this ancient city. They just rented a big ship, and then they left the port and came to the North Sea .

To say that the North Sea is the coldest sea among the four seas, drifting ice floes are often seen, and there are even continuous glaciers and icebergs in its depths, and at the end is an ice field surrounded by seas. The place where immortals are exiled is difficult for ordinary boats to approach, and those who do not have supernatural powers cannot cross it. Although the place where Gongsun Zhongmou and Xu Beiyou are located now is called Beihai, it is actually just the edge of Beihai near the land. Except for the cold water, it is different from other places Seawater is no different.

The two masters and apprentices went south by boat along the coast to Qizhou, and they could reach Jieshi after about a ten-day journey.

Gongsun Zhongmou stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the blue waves of the sea, and whispered to Xu Beiyou beside him: "Before I was 20 years old, I lived in Weiguo, and I could see the sea every day, but it felt empty and boring. After I was 20 years old, I left Weiguo to walk In the world, I finally don’t have to see it every day. Fortunately, I never miss it. Now that I am over 80 years old, Dongdu has become an imperial capital, and Weiguo has also become Weiguo. Seeing this blue again, it is sincere happy."

This is the first time Xu Beiyou has seen the sea in his life, and it is also the first time he has been on a boat. He just feels wobbly and wobbly, and his whole body is like falling into the clouds. jump for joy.

He tried his best to suppress the nausea in his chest, and asked, "Master, what are we going to Jieshi for?"

While speaking, Xu Beiyou subconsciously pinched the jade pendant that Xiao Zhinan left him, feeling uneasy for the first time, because Xiao Zhinan had said before leaving that she was going to Qizhou, so now when Xu Beiyou heard the word Qizhou, he would associate it with To that magnificent princess Her Royal Highness.It is the time when the love first begins, and the thoughts of young people are generally like this.

Gongsun Zhongmou, who has experienced many things in the world, naturally saw through his apprentice's mind, but he didn't say anything. He just said calmly: "When we arrive at Jieshi, let's go to Weiguo."

"Wei country?" Xu Beiyou was a little surprised.

Weiguo and Weiguo have the same pronunciation but different shapes, so naturally they have different meanings.

Gongsun Zhongmou said: "The state of Wei... the state of Wei is where the five great families and the sword sect belonged back then, and it is also my home. It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots, so this time I want to go back and have a look."

Xu Beiyou was stunned and remained silent.Gongsun Zhongmou didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The so-called five great families, the Zhang family, the Ye family, the Murong family, the Gongsun family, and the Shangguan family, each had many famous figures at one time, but with the arrival of Jiazi In that great battle, the Zhang family and the Gongsun family were completely wiped out, and the Shangguan family was dormant. Only the Ye family and the Murong family were left. A head teacher wife, a Xuanjiao leader, and a post-founder of the country, it is no wonder that the clan evaluation personally set by Xie Gongyi ranked the Murong family in the second position, second only to the Xiao family."

Xu Beiyou asked curiously: "Master, what is the family review you are talking about?"

Gongsun Zhongmou said: "The so-called family evaluation is to rank the world's major high-ranking figures. Generally, the contemporary Confucian leaders personally evaluate it. The last family evaluation was made by Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai, and this year's family evaluation is Jiangzuo No.1 Xie Gongyi took over. Some so-called celebrities and Confucian scholars, with insufficient vision, will only focus on their own rankings in the family evaluation. The rules, such as the royal families of various countries, should not be included in the family review, but because of the change of dynasties, this family review broke this rule and added the Xiao family and other royal families to the scope of the family review. In this family review, the Xiao family has no Suspense ranked first, followed by the Murong family, the third was the Grassland Lin family, the Ye family ranked fifth, the Wanyan family, which was taken over by the Murong family as the founding master, ranked sixth, and the Mu family went from tenth to tenth. It fell to No.15. In addition, there is a separate column of family reviews in the family review. Daqi Emperor Xiao Xuan, as the head of the Xiao family, is still ranked first, Zhenbei King Lin Han is second, the later founding leader Wanyan Beiyue is third, and Murong Xuan fourth, as for the future, most of the Jiangnan gentry and upstart generals who have risen in recent years are nothing new."

In the end, Gongsun Zhongmou sighed and said: "In the past, it was the country and the country, and the family came first, and the country was behind. No matter how the dynasties change, I am still standing still, but now, it is the country and the country, and the country is before the family. Under the overturned nest, there are no more eggs."

Xu Beiyou's heart trembled when he heard it.

This is the world at the top of the world.

——The once-prosperous Julu City mutual market came to an end temporarily, and the monks gathered here gradually dispersed, and Julu City gradually returned to its former peace.

Two passers-by came to Julu City today.

The two did not enter the city, but stood on the top of the city and stayed for a while.

One of them had black hair loose and a white robe. His appearance was peerless, with scarlet between his brows, like a fairy who had been relegated to the world.The other person was wearing a green robe, with white hair, holding a Dao Ji, like a wandering Taoist, and asked with a light smile: "Xuan Yin, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

Murong Xuanyin, who was so glamorous that he was almost indistinguishable between male and female, had a gloomy expression on his face, and said calmly, "I dare not hide this from senior, I am going back to the Kingdom of Wei this time."

Qing Chen has a very high seniority in the practice world. Even Qiu Ye and Gongsun Zhongmou who have become the Big Dipper of Mount Tai are a generation shorter than him, and their cultivation is even higher. Slaughtering more than half of the Temple of Demon Suppression by himself, so Murong Xuanyin, the leader of Xuanjiao, was called by his predecessors.

Qing Chen then asked: "What's the matter?"

Murong Xuanyin replied: "Since it's a senior asking, I'll just say it bluntly. I've been a little restless in recent days, and my own divination turned out to be a low-level divination. Dazheng's divination method is unmatched in the world." People can compare, knowing that such a whim is the most effective. Just the day before yesterday, Gongsun Zhongmou wrote me a letter. He said in the letter that he would not go to Houjian, but to go to Weiguo. After thinking for a long time, I still agreed. I can't rest assured, so I decided to take a trip to Weiguo in person, if there is nothing wrong, it's best, then just go back to my hometown, if there are other changes, it's good to help me a little bit."

Qing Chen nodded and said: "The cicadas are aware of the autumn wind before it moves, most likely they are not wrong. The old man has tried a trigram today, but the result is obscure. It seems that someone has taken action to deceive the sky. Looking at the current world, the only one who can have such a cultivation level is probably only My nephew Qiuba is gone."

Murong Xuanyin slightly frowned his handsome brows, "What does the Daoist mean, that Qiu Ye, who wholeheartedly seeks to prove Dao's ascension, has left the seclusion?"

Qingchen sighed, and said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as leaving the customs, but coming down from the Dutian Peak. In terms of cultivation, the old man's method of beheading three corpses and his method of transforming three cleanses in one breath are just the same. In between, but he has two treasures passed down from the Taoist ancestors in his hands, if he really wants to fight, the old man is not an opponent."

Murong Xuanyin narrowed his eyes, "What if you add me?"

Qing Chen shook his head and said: "The old man just has a gap with Qiu Ye's master and apprentice, but he has no enmity with the Taoist sect. This old man will not be involved in this matter."

Murong Xuanyin seemed to have expected it long ago, and sighed slightly.

When Qing Chen left, he said softly: "The old man came this time to remind you, don't act rashly, even if you join forces with Gongsun Zhongmou, you may not be able to beat a quasi-immortal holding two treasures who died in Shangguan that year. The dead souls of the earth immortals under the sword of Xianchen are all lessons learned from the past."

Murong Xuan, whose heart was getting more and more gloomy, sighed heavily.

Qingchen drifted away.
