Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 171
The Misty Peaks of the Tianshan Mountains.

Misty Peak is not high above sea level, there is no ice and snow, but it is foggy, and it is impossible to see the face of the mountain for half a year, so it is called Misty Peak.

There is a big vulture in Tianshan, which is called vulture.This is also the origin of the name of Tianshan Vulture Palace.The vulture's wings are short and its palms are wide, it's not good at flying but it's good at running, before the person arrives, the high-pitched cry of the vulture can be heard.

In northern Xinjiang, where the snow is falling heavily, everything is boundless white as far as the eye can see.

Ning Xiu rode his horse and walked in the snowy field where the wind was howling. On the way, he came across a small town with a population of only a hundred people. They lived by hunting and picking snow lotus. Ning Xiu heard that some people in the town had gone to Misty Peak To help the Vulture Palace pick snow lotus, he wanted to ask how to get to the Vulture Palace.

Unexpectedly, the face of the person being questioned changed when he heard it, and he hurriedly kept his mouth shut. Ning Xiu took a lot of money before he was willing to reveal some information. He pointed in a direction with his finger, and he could only get there after climbing several mountains and crossing several valleys.

The "Villion Palace" is far away in the Misty Peak of the Tianshan Mountains. After decades of operation, it has quietly controlled most gangs from the Central Plains to the southeast coast.Therefore, when people talk about Vulture Palace in Tianshan Mountains, instead of talking about "Tianshan Mountain", they often use "Gongli" instead.

The station is not on the top of the snow mountain, but in a warm and humid place at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain.Many disciples live here, and the "Griffon Palace" is actually both a market and a castle.Because it has a radius of hundreds of miles within its control area, the "Villion Palace" has never experienced the shadow of swords, lights and swords, and it is a peaceful and peaceful scene.

Child Elder of Tianshan Mountain is the god of Tianshan Mountain, very few people have seen her face, most people have only heard this horrible name from bloody rivers and lakes stories.

Of course, these are only the Vulture Palace and Tianshan Child Elder in Ning Xiu's own memory.

As for the Vulture Palace in the Comprehensive Martial Arts World, it does match the setting in Ning Xiu's memory. On the surface, it is a hermit sect that basically does not communicate with the outside world, and its range of activities is in the Tianshan Mountains.

Because there is the Tianshan School that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the north of Tianshan Mountain, the Mongolian Kingdom in the south, the Xixia Kingdom in the east, and the foreign countries in the west, no matter which direction it expands, it is extremely difficult for the Vulture Palace.

Therefore, the Vulture Palace seeks far away, and secretly supports the forces in Miaojiang and the East China Sea.

Just as he was thinking this way, there was a sudden noise outside.

Many people in the original town gathered at the entrance of a small inn with their hands in their hands to watch the excitement.Perhaps the past days in the town were too boring, and the appearance of outsiders attracted everyone's attention.

The visitors are old and young.

The old man was over sixty years old, and his thin body was covered with a broad and fat jacket, perhaps to keep out the cold, and an overcoat that didn't fit well, and a hemp rope belt was tightly tied around his waist, as if he wanted to Putting the jacket down, the white hair on the head was tied into braids like braids, and the ends were tied with red strings, which was very eye-catching.

He has a pale face, his sunken and sunken cheeks immediately seemed to be sunken, his face was exposed, he was very thin, and he had a tuft of goatee on his chin.

But the old man's hands are extremely unusual, astonishingly big, the joints of the five fingers are thick and protruding, the muscles on the back of the hand are stretched, the roots are distinct, and the palms are very thick, which is different from ordinary people.

Although he was old, his eyes were shining brightly, not like those old and demented people.

Let's talk about that girl.

It was a girl in a sheepskin coat, with two thick black braids, her pearl-like eyes were extremely lively, and her round face was blushing, like a ripe apple.

The old man, the young man, and Sun Er walked into the small inn and ordered a pot of hot tea. After a while, he explained his purpose to the shopkeeper.

After obtaining consent, the old man began to tell stories.

"By the way, there is a swordsman named Yan Shisan in Mobei, he is amazing..."

It was getting colder and colder, and everyone in the small town was idle, and the two of them could be heard talking about a book, and they all sat around the stove with their hands in their hands drinking hot tea and listening.

People in northern Xinjiang are closed due to natural dangers, and many people have never been to places other than Tianshan Mountains, so when the old man told stories about other places, they all listened with great interest.

The old man was talking, and the little girl echoed the old man's words, yelling twice from time to time, winning applause from all the halls.

It was snowing heavily outside the building, the sky and the earth were pure and white, and the building was noisy and noisy. A door seemed to separate two worlds.

I don't know when, in the snowstorm outside, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, creaking and creaking, as if stepping on the snow, walking with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

But when passing the teahouse, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

The door opened with a creak, it turned out that Ning Xiu had returned.

"Hey, close the door quickly, it's freezing to death!"

Seeing that the man was still standing at the door, the guest hurriedly greeted him.

"it is good."

Ning Xiu responded with a smile, closed the door tightly, and sat down like those who listened to the book, listening with great interest to the old man talking about Yan Shisan, Shaolin, Diancang sect...

Time flies.

The audience in the teahouse came and went, and changed several dials. There were times when it was deserted, and times when it was lively.

The snow outside the door did not stop until evening.

Wait till twilight breaks.

The old storyteller exhaled deeply, took a sip of tea, and stopped speaking.

"Thank you for your support!"

The little girl ran down from her seat with a smile on her face, shuttled back and forth between the audience, with a cloth cap in her hand, and talked about the rich and the poor.

However, after this round of running, few people were willing to give a reward. Even if they did, it would be a few copper coins at most, and some would just leave without even giving money for tea.

This can't be helped, most of the people here are poor people, and some people who come out to beg for a living are not rich people, and a few copper coins are not bad. The house was at the end, and a piece of silver slipped out of a trajectory in the air, fell into the cloth hat, collided with the copper coins, and made a loud noise.

The braided girl was taken aback for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised. She can live without money, but it must be better to have money.

"Thank you big brother!"

Turning her bright eyes, big eyes, and long eyelashes, she saw a young man on the table at the back, holding his hands back. Seeing her look, she smiled subtly.

"What's your name?"

The figure of the old man seemed to change shape, and he was in front of Ning Xiu in an instant, sizing him up.

In the eyes of the old man, Ning Xiu's cultivation base is extremely advanced, but there is no snowflake on his body as soon as he enters the door. With dragon spirit, his status must be extraordinary.

Of course, at the moment Ning Xiu entered the door, the old man already had several guesses, and after feeling it up close, he was even more certain.

"It's just a false name. It's the old man's name, which really rings in the ears. Everyone in the Jianghu knows who doesn't." Ning Xiu raised his eyes to look at the old man, and said with a light smile, "Old Man Tianji."

Originally, after seeing the old man's attire and the little girl accompanying him, Ning Xiu used the supplementary and restored query function of the panel, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was the Tianji old man, Sun Baifa, the contemporary leader of the Le'an Sun family, the martial arts family.

And that lively and lovely little girl is his granddaughter Sun Xiaohong.

Sun Xiaohong blinked her big bright eyes and asked curiously, "Big Brother knows who we are, so who is Big Brother?"

The voice is crisp and beautiful, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

Old Man Tianji guessed Ning Xiu's identity, but he didn't want to disturb his granddaughter's interest, so he didn't point it out.

"Guess who I am?" Ning Xiu asked back.

She frowned and said uncertainly for a moment, "Immortal?"

"No, how could I be a god?"

"Then...a powerful hero from a certain faction?"

"Still wrong."

Her dark eyes rolled around, and she glanced at him with those big eyes.

Sun Xiaohong's eyes narrowed suddenly with a smile: "I see, you are the big brother, right?"

"That's right." Ning Xiu smiled and handed a piece of candied fruit to the little girl.

Seeing the two getting along so harmoniously, Sun Baifa stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I didn't expect Zhao Shaoxia to be so approachable. Those rumors in the Jianghu are really unbelievable."

"What is true and what is false? People only want to believe what they believe, even if it is false, as long as they convince themselves, it is true." Ning Xiu continued his tea and asked, "I don't know Mr. Sun Why are you here?"

"The people of the Jianghu are naturally for the affairs of the Jianghu." Old Man Tianji picked up a piece of charcoal fire with rotten chopsticks and lit the dry cigarette, puffing a couple of puffs, "Does the young hero know the weapon spectrum?"

"Of course I know. It is said that Bai Xiaosheng came up with the famous hall, which specializes in ranking famous masters and weapons in the Jianghu. Countless people in the Jianghu have fought for this ranking."

As Ning Xiu spoke, he felt that this weapon list was really funny.

Because the three-flowered-top powerhouse basically doesn't move around in the rivers and lakes, the weapon list only ranks masters with less than three-flowered tops, Li Xunhuan's throwing knife, old man Tianji's Ruyi stick, Ximen Chuuxue's sword, Ding Peng's knife... They are all in the weapon spectrum.

At present, there is no money gang in Song Dynasty martial arts, so there is no Shangguan Jinhong in the ranking.However, a mysterious organization called Tianzun began to appear in the sights of Jianghu people. It is said that this organization has a close relationship with the Jiangnan Murong family.

Elder Tianji ranked first, Ding Peng ranked No.15, Ximen Chuuxue was promoted to second after defeating Ye Gucheng, and Li Xunhuan ranked third.

There are hundreds of masters and their famous weapons on the weapon spectrum.

However, there is no ranking for Ning Xiu, or Ning Xiu does not want to have this ranking, because of his identity and strength, he no longer needs any weapons to become famous.

Just like the saying "some people are famous because of the knife in his hand, while some knives are famous because of the user".

Sometimes fame and fortune are too important, which is not conducive to the progress of martial arts.

The old man Tianji didn't say anything, his eyes lowered, and he looked at Ningxiu's sign language while pouring tea and said inexplicably: "I don't know where your hand holding the knife can rank in the weapon list! I guess it can enter the top three."

Ning Xiu shook his head, and said indifferently: "In this Jianghu, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are so many masters in the world that there are so many tigers crossing the river. Who dares to say that they are number one or number two? The masters on the weapon list are indeed not weak. Those who can be ranked are all masters of nearly 50 years, true supernatural powers, even though Bai Xiaosheng is crazy, he dare not judge them."

"Good advice, Shaoxia Zhao."

Hearing this, the old man Tianji was not angry, because the weapon list was indeed as Ning Xiu said, and it was essentially to satisfy the ranking list that people in the Jianghu pursued for fame and fortune.

With the identity and strength of the person in front of him, whether he is actually on the list or not is the same for him.

When Sun Baifa said this, his tone was calm, as if he agreed with Ning Xiu's words.

He is already old, and his ambition and vigor are not as good as before. It is actually imaginary to him whether he can be ranked or whether he can be on the list.

but--

Is it true?

"Having said that, Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. A warrior wants to become famous, whether it is a weapon spectrum or a martial arts leader, it is all for a name. But the old man is curious, is Zhao Shaoxia really interested in fame and fortune? Are you not interested in two words?"

Old Man Tianji said so, looking at Ning Xiu with his eyes as if trying to pierce his mind.He is old, but this does not mean that he has no pursuit of fame and fortune.

Human beings are human after all, if they are human, they will have the seven emotions and six desires, and those who are advanced will definitely be indifferent to fame and wealth?
If so, then this rivers and lakes are not rivers and lakes. There are so many bloodbaths not caused by fame and fortune, and countless masters died.

The emperor was in his seventies and eighties and he didn't want to pass the throne to the old prince. Instead, he wanted to get the elixir of longevity from the alchemist, so that he could sit in the country forever, enjoy the wealth and glory, and leave his name through the ages.

There are also countless high-ranking people who sold themselves to the emperor's family just to get support from resources and gain fame and fortune.

Maybe some people really regard fame and wealth as the dust and smoke of the past, but old man Tianji is definitely not among them, because he is the number one in the weapon spectrum, and this title has brought him many, many benefits to his family. People will easily let go, especially when old man Tianji still has this strength.

However, countless geniuses have sprung up, such as Yan Shisan who is looking for someone to challenge, Ximen Chuuxue who defeated Ye Gucheng, and Ning Xiu who defeated Meng Chixing with his innate talent.

This made him very worried, he was afraid of losing the title of No. [-] weapon spectrum, just like the leader of martial arts was afraid of losing the position of leader.

"I'm a layman, so I can't avoid it. But rather than fame and fortune, I prefer to compete with masters." Ning Xiu looked at Old Man Tianji's wrought-iron hands, "I don't know if these hands can hold the gods and prevent them." My secret stick?"

"Ha ha!"

Old Man Tianji suddenly let out a thick laugh, which made the teapot on the table tremble.

"If you can't hold it, the young hero can come and try it."

Seeing the two confronting each other, Sun Xiaohong couldn't help being taken aback, and shouted: "Grandpa!"

"I'm just telling a joke, don't mind."

But after Sun Xiaohong left, old man Tianji's eyes that were shining brightly were suddenly nailed to Ning Xiu's body like two ice picks, as if they had taken root, without blinking.

hum!
The two remained motionless, but there was an inexplicable coercion, which made the guests in the inn sweat suddenly, as if they had seen some scourge.

But that feeling came and went quickly, just for an instant, as if nothing had happened.

"Unexpected, unpredictable, great method!"

"The sword of true love is invincible, good sword technique!"

Elder Tianji and Ning Xiu looked at each other and smiled. Just now, the two had fought in the spiritual world.

After comprehending the way of sentient beings, Ning Xiu's spiritual cultivation is enough to attract the power of nine feet of heaven and earth, and the spiritual cultivation of old man Tianji is even higher, but under Ning Xiu's Dao of the Sword, he will not benefit at all.
