The Lord who use immortals as food

Everything that should be tested has been tested. Thanks to Mr. Sui's [Covering Mirrors into Paintings], the two Immortal Power projections were not completely destroyed, but were still separated from the scattered bones. Immortal Terrace put it away, and there was really only Sima's corpse that had no will left here.

"There's nothing left, let's bury him." Xiao Changgong sighed softly.

"Just feed the fish." Sui Zaihua waved his hand, and the body was scattered into the river.

There was nothing else going on around him, so he turned around and walked out. The moonlit riverside was clean and ethereal.

"It's just that you were in danger yourself, but this person actually ended up here." Xiao Changgong took off his clothes and followed behind, shaking his head and laughing, "This made us all break out in a cold sweat."

"Life or death means you have to do what you have to do." Sui Zaihua smiled, tilted his head and said, "There's no need to give it away, you can go about your business."

"It's already halfway through the ugly season. You still have to review your swordsmanship tomorrow morning - farewell."

"Don't pass."

The autumn wind blows, and the last attempt of Xianrentai with all their strength has been completely settled. They took the slim and harsh possibility so seriously, but it finally proved to be just a delusion.

But there was not much disappointment on everyone's faces. Everyone talked easily. The destruction of Huansi Tower was an amazing result. A few days ago, they completed the simultaneous attack on the twenty-four states. Everyone tried their best. Enough meritorious service has been achieved.

The conclusion of the case means the settlement of the awards. At this time, everyone is laughing side by side. Of course, they still go to the Prisoner's Land first to complete the final touches seriously.

"Oh." Li Mingqing pursed her lower lip.

She was still smiling, but there was some uneasy hesitation hidden in her expression, wondering whether she should continue to ask.

The young man turned the bead around and showed it in front of her - it was completely gray and cracked.

"Well, as you want to see, you can't let me pay for this."

He smiled, with a relaxed and peaceful expression. Li Mingqing secretly paid attention to this face. Until she admitted with some frustration that if he wanted to lie to her, she actually wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all.

"If I don't let you pay, please tell me what you saw." Li Mingqing took it and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you will break the beads and read the story. I came all the way." What are you running for?"

"Tell me, tell me." Pei Ye responded, but stood up first, "I'd better go and call Divine Doctor Qu first, and I'll tell you while I'm looking at your injuries, okay?"

".Ah, actually it's nothing."

The young man smiled and lowered his eyes, avoiding her left arm, then turned and left the room.

As expected, Qu Xin was not asleep, and was tinkering in her quiet room with many instruments. Pei Ye knocked on the door and came in. The girl turned around and was surprised: "So fast?"

"Can you check on my friend's injuries?" Pei Ye said, "Then, I think she's a little too tired these days. Do you have the kind of injection that can soothe the mind to sleep?"

Three layers of gauze curtains were drawn up on the couch. The girl lay down and drank a bowl of medicine earlier. The bandage around her waist was removed by Qu Xin.

". Qu Zhuzhu wanted Xinpo, so he went straight to the governor Yu for help. When the governor asked for help, he went to Xiangzhou to buy it with a lot of money. This is where Qu Zhuzhu was able to [see the body], so he happily shared it with the governor Yu. ." The smoke from the furnace was slowly lingering, and Pei Ye sat on the bedside and spoke softly inside, "——How is her injury? "

"It's very deep and wide. It wasn't a crack from a sword, it was scraped by something like an iron chain, and the flesh was rotten."

Li Minqing laid his head on the pillow, and put the small green bag on the pillow with his clothes. He hummed softly: "Well, don't worry about it. Then, what next?"

"Well, I didn't care, and then they sat down to eat together. Governor Yu personally cooked, stewed fish and porridge."

"The other party may be Xuanmen." Qu Xin waved his hand and dropped seven silver needles.

"Xuanmen?"

"No, there is no Xuanmen." Li Mingqing retorted vaguely, "Pei Ye, there is no Xuanmen."

"Well, okay." Pei Ye said softly, "Then they will talk about how to make [the body] and what magical functions it has."

"Yes." Li Mingqing responded weakly, and even breathing could be heard from inside the curtain. After a while, he suddenly said erratically, "What about the others?"

"What else?"

"Did you mention other magic weapons?"

"I didn't mention it." Pei Ye said softly, "Doctor Qu will help you treat your injury. You can go to sleep."

"Well now? I don't think so," the girl said softly, and a few cold thin needles fell on her back.

"Does your arm still hurt?"

".No pain."

"Um."

"It doesn't hurt Pei Ye. My arm doesn't hurt."

Pei Ye gently patted her hand on the edge of the bed and said nothing. After a moment, the breathing inside the curtain completely stabilized.

"Taishan Yaolu also has the secret technique of rebirth of severed limbs, but it is usually provided to Xuanmen." Qu Xin said, "Because the spiritual body is a platform on which it can be performed. For the Vein Tree Realm, this secret technique is too harsh and dangerous. , it is not recommended to apply it by force.”

"Either wait until you are promoted to Xuanmen, or you can take the path of Yangyi Pavilion." She continued, "Prosthetic limbs are a very mature thing for them. The most basic part is not even a magic weapon, but it is enough to meet daily activities - —But her wound is too new and it is still bleeding. She will need to recover for at least another half month. "

"Well." Pei Ye walked around to the head of the bed, put a hand in, and gently took away the green bag from the sleeping girl's pillow, "I'll ask you to take care of her for a few days. When she wakes up, you can have a chat with her. The broken arm thing—she has a lot more money than I do.”

"good."

Pei Ye lowered his head and opened the small bag, flipping through it carefully. The first thing he pulled out was a book on tying feathers. Pei Ye paused for a moment, then took out a well-packaged letter from the deepest compartment.

It was getting dark, and the long night was approaching. The surroundings were still silent in the middle of the night, and the stairs were extremely dark.

Pei Ye dressed neatly and walked down the medical building slowly with [Jade Tiger]. At this moment, the patients and doctors were all asleep, and it seemed that he was the only one in the whole building.

Pei Ye walked down the stairs silently until he came to the door of the first floor, and suddenly stopped.

A little light from the sky shone through the thin crack of the door. In the dim light of the early morning, a tall and straight figure stood quietly beside the door.

He spoke in a gentle voice: "Mr. Pei, where are you going to move late at night?"

Pei Ye looked up and saw the old man wearing a cloak, like a statue in the shadows - Gao Feigong.

Then Pei Ye remembered that he had been secretly following him since he entered the city.

Pei Ye was silent for a while. He knew that there were four dedicated soldiers outside the door. Outside, two carriages for him to travel, one Hua and one Jian, were parked in the yard.

"Hello, Commander Gao. I'll go to the Immortal Terrace."

"Oh, I'll prepare a carriage for you."

"No need, I'll go by myself."

"Then I'll follow you."

"No need."

"."

Pei Ye held the black cat and looked at the general quietly: "Unless the commander insists."

Gao Feigong paused: "Of course, it's up to you."

"Thank you."

Pei Ye pushed open the door, and the coldness hit him from the empty street.

Pei Ye walked along the street without saying a word. He held the sword and paced to look at the stars in the sky. Gradually, the stars disappeared, the sky brightened, and the street began to be crowded.

Today is the day when the revision meeting will be finalized. The top 22 sword talents will be re-ordered, and the legendary young hero will also appear on the Jade Sword Terrace. The whole city woke up earlier than usual.

Pei Ye saw many people going to the Jade Sword Platform together along the way. Most of them were Jianghu people or sects with unfamiliar clothing. He didn't recognize many of them at all. He couldn't help wondering where they came from and what kind of swords were hanging around their waists. It would be a happy thing to get to know them and learn from them.

However, the Immortal Platform has arrived.

When he came to the door and asked someone to report, the guard looked at him in surprise when he mentioned the name "Pei Ye". A moment later, a clerk walked out of the door quickly.

"Mr. Pei." The man hurriedly saluted and led him into the door. "I wonder what you want to do when you visit me this morning?"

Pei Ye retracted his gaze and bowed: "Excuse me, I have something to ask Xiao Changgong and Xiao Hejian. I wonder if he is here?"

"Ah, Xiao Hejian went out of the city last night. I don't know if he has returned yet. I will ask someone to ask him immediately. Please wait."

"Excuse me."

Pei Ye sat down in the corner of the lobby on the first floor. The people coming in and out were still walking fast, but not in the tense and hurried manner of Kongtong.

The clerk came back and started to make tea. Pei Ye retracted his gaze and suddenly said, "I heard that several adults tried to ambush Qu Zhu last night. I wonder if they got any results?"

"."

The clerk paused.

He looked at the upright young man with a little uneasiness. Apparently, this name had been widely spread in Shaolong Prefecture in the past two days, and Xianrentai had known about his grievances with Qu Zhu.

"I didn't participate in this matter last night. However, the task of sorting out the case files was issued this morning. It seems that Qu Zhu didn't show up in the end."

"Oh, okay." However, the young man just nodded and bowed politely, "Excuse me."

"Mr. Pei, you're welcome."

The two sat down at the table. Pei Ye looked at the people coming and going, sipping his tea, until a moment later, someone hurried over: "Written by Qi, Xiao Hejian hasn't come back yet."

"Ah." The clerk bowed to Pei Ye apologetically, "Mr. Pei, if you have anything to say, please tell us. Why don't we take care of it for you first."

"Ah, I--" Pei Ye paused, and just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly paused.

The solemn man who was coming in at the door also saw him at the same time and walked over.

The clerk has bowed and saluted. The man who came with a sword on one arm is Zhang Xiaozhu, the master of Shaolongtai.

"Master Zhang."

"Young Master Pei." Zhang Xiaozhu was slightly surprised that this powerful man stood in front of the table, "Is there anything urgent?"

In his impression, the young man was not a person who could not wait. The results of last night would have been sent to Taishan Medicine House at dawn, so there was no need to come here specially.

"Nothing, Master Zhang." The young man clasped his fists and said with an apologetic smile, "I wanted to find Xiao Hejian, but now I have to trouble you - I heard that a lot of soul-stealing beads were seized a few days ago. I wonder if I can go and see them?"

"Oh, that's nothing. I'll write you a warrant."

The clerk next to him immediately handed over the pen and ink. Zhang Xiaozhu pulled out a chair and sat down, but slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

Smiled slightly: "If Pei Shaoxia waited another three hours to hang up the Yanjian, he would not need this warrant."

"."

"Lord Sui said that you should not be assigned work after the seal is hung, so as not to restrict your freedom. This is really a reversal of right and wrong." Zhang Xiaozhu picked up the pen and ink, "It is clear that the government office has many rules, and most of the people in the Immortal Terrace are employed by sects and promoted based on merit. It has always been the most fair and free place."

Pei Ye smiled and bowed: "Thank you, sir."

"But to be fair, with Lord Sui leading the way, the future is indeed brighter than in Taichung." Zhang Xiaozhu handed him the warrant and smiled, "At least the Immortal Terrace can't let you be listed first in the sword book."

Pei Ye smiled: "I am also very nervous. I don't know what masters there are on the Jade Sword Terrace today. I am worried about showing my weakness."

"Today, there are almost four people on the Jade Sword Stage: seventeen people from the ceremony, seventy-two people who have been registered as swordsmen, more than thirty officials from various ministries attending the ceremony, and more than a hundred guests from various sects. But what do you have to worry about? Yes, Mr. Sui is here anyway." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled as he drank his tea, "It's really not worth mentioning that he controls such a sword."

"Yes, Master Sui. He is indeed very powerful."

"I met him fourteen years ago, and to this day, I still regard him as my senior." Zhang Xiaozhu said softly, "If you have the opportunity to work with Mr. Sui, you will feel it - the mountains and seas are quiet, and everything is clear. , as long as he stands with you, no matter in the officialdom or in the world, there seems to be nothing worth panicking about. "

"So at this time, he is more than ten thousand people, and Shaolong shares the same respect. He has a high position, but I feel that the position of the governor is just the beginning of his entrance into the palace." He continued with a smile, "So. Pei Shaoxia is really lucky."

Pei Ye lowered his head, smiled, and said softly: "I accept your good advice."

Zhang Xiaozhu was slightly silent: "There are many things to see on the road ahead, Young Master Pei."

"."

"Same regret." The host raised his glass lightly, sat next to the young man, and watched the figures coming and going in the hall with him, "We still guessed wrong. Qu Zhu is not a fire slave, and he has already obtained the gift. Ting Xin, he may have left Shaolong when we laid the trap."

The host drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the pot and poured it over.

Pei Ye shook his head: "There's nothing we can do about it, Mr. Zhang."

"Yes, we said at that time that it might be very harsh. So, I don't know why you want to see the Soul Seizing Pearl now. In two quarters of an hour, the book revision meeting will start." The man looked at him and said softly, With a serious expression, he said, "If you have anything, young hero, you can just say it."

"Nothing, Lord Zhang." Pei Ye smiled and gently stroked the scabbard in his hand, "I just want to see the sword in these beads."

He was silent for a moment and pursed his lower lip: "It's just a pity. At that time, Xiao Hejian said that he believed that Wu Hejian's life would be worth something. Now it seems that he still lost to Qu Zhu."

The autumn air is cool and cool, and the Jade Sword Terrace is already crowded with people.

Each pavilion is occupied by its own sect and dignitaries, and the smaller ones also have their own area. However, more Jianghu people, scholars and scholars, as well as countless ordinary people, are still mixed together, and the conversation is mixed into an indistinct wave.

The start of the registration meeting yesterday has raised the number of people to a higher level. Countless Jianghu guests and ordinary people came to watch the competition between those talents, but after all, it was still an agreed stage.

Today is the real solemn "observation ceremony". This is the day when the "Golden Book of Shaolong Swordsmanship" was completed. The government invited nearly two hundred celebrities to the Jade Sword Stage, including celebrities, important ministers, and elders from all walks of life, including seventy-two The sect of registered swordsmen - the Guanhu Sword Sect, where Cai Wuzhi was born, has an old man and two young men here today. Their clothes and boots are neat, their heads and faces are clean, and they are already sitting in the corner of the seat.

Further ahead are some major sects, not to mention those who have swords and are enrolled, and those without swords are enrolled, and even those who are not in Shaolong have a seat to watch the ceremony, such as Kongtong, Taishan Yaolu, Yangyi Tower, etc. The prominent seats on the other side are covered with many blues and purples, solemnly representing the imperial court's absolute recognition of this book.

If yesterday it was still a pure competition between swordsmen, today the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn.

Keeping the first twenty-two swordsmen today allows you to see the sword book completed, and it is exciting enough but not lengthy. Another more important reason is that there will be a qualitative leap in the resources allocated to the first twenty-two swordsmen - these twenty-two people can all be selected into the Sword Mastery Academy.

Of course, the talent of everyone inside is enough to enter the Dao Qihui, but you are from another sect. Why should the Thirty-Three Swords Sect allow you to join the sect to practice?

So this opportunity is almost impossible.

Of course, this was an unimaginable effort of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know how the imperial court could reach an agreement with the Thirty-Three Swordsmen. At least here, what Shaolongjian saw was - you have come to be included in the kendo gold revised by the imperial court. If you sign up, Datang Dao Qihui will open the door to you.

For the top swordsman geniuses such as Xiang, Cui and Su, this is a truly irresistible temptation.

No matter how proud the heritage of Luoying Mountain is, they will all dream of stepping onto the platform of the Thirty-Three Swords Gate to discuss, exchange and participate with Tianshan, White Deer Palace, Longjun Dongting, and even the true successors of Yunlang Mountain. Sword book.

At this time, everyone was sitting quietly, and the twenty-one swordsmen were lined up in a row. In front of them was the empty sword field, and everyone present could clearly see them.

Ren Zixin sat down with her father excitedly and curiously. She was also groomed in an unprecedentedly neat and delicate manner. At this time, she subconsciously kept a low profile and was elegant. She stared at the swordsman's seat for a long time, then excitedly raised her hand and whispered: " Ah, where is Senior Brother Wenyuan!"

The man nodded: "It's an unexpected surprise that Xiao Zhu can join two people. Let's just watch quietly today."

"Yeah." Ren Zixin nodded repeatedly and curiously took a closer look at those prominent names - she had heard of them thousands of miles away as early as Longxi, and now it was the first time she saw them so close.

She identified them one by one in her mind: Nan Guannu, Cui Zijie, Xiang Zongyuan, that was Su Xing, but he seemed to be as big as herself.

Suddenly a girl's voice came from the side: "Of course Su Xingke can go up further."

Ren Zixin was startled and turned around. It turned out to be the girl she had seen down the teahouse, talking to a somewhat silent young man next to her. Ren Zixin recognized that this was the one who had been running errands back and forth as soon as she sat down.

"But Xiang Zongyuan was also born six years ago." He whispered, "In the past six years..."

"What he has achieved in the past six years may not be as impressive as he was back then."

".That's right too."

The two of them chatted and walked forward until they sat down next to a man in the second row.

Ren Zixin looked at it in shock, that was actually the location of Kongtong.

But at this moment, the whole place suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked forward, and then they all stood up one after another. Ren Zixin was pulled by her father, and then she saluted with her surroundings in a daze.

When he straightened up, he saw the tall figure in front of the hall through the gap, and subconsciously held his breath.

Wearing a quiet Xuanyi, wearing a white jade at the waist, his gray hair was simply and neatly tied back. The three sides of the Jade Sword Pavilion were full of people, but he was the only one standing in front of the hall, but he did not look thin at all. Instead, he was as calm as the mountains and the sea. The majesty spread to the audience.

Ren Zixin only glanced at it and didn't dare to look again, thinking that this was probably the Lord who supported the Sword Selection Club, the current Governor of Shaolong.

The old man's eyes swept downwards quietly, and he nodded slightly: "Thank you for the thin noodles today. Please take a seat. I hope that after the spring and autumn, I will still remember the grand event of sharing today."

He sat down and waited for everyone to sit down one by one. He turned his head and looked at the registration meeting: "Yesterday, we reached twenty-two people. Please continue, Mr. Chen."

Ren Zixin lowered her head and sat down, putting her hands on her knees, subconsciously becoming more upright.

The backs of the two Kongtong people came into view again in front of her. She was suddenly startled, remembering something, and when she looked around, she didn't see the young man.

"There are forty-four in total." In the quiet room deep in the Immortal Terrace, Zhang Xiaozhu pointed to the half-iron and half-amber beads all over the wall. "It used to be that it was very difficult to find just a few. Many of them were destroyed by ghosts, but we A complete set was found in Jianfu Mountain."

"I asked a warlock with a high spiritual level to look at it. I also looked at two of them myself. Inside are the old shadows of the swords used by the victims." Zhang Xiaozhu continued, "There are many, some are few, some are strong, some are weak. But every reading is sad, and they can’t sustain more than a few readings.”

Pei Ye nodded: "I want to stay here for a while, Mr. Zhang."

"Okay." The man nodded slightly, "These things that have been 'deposited and withdrawn' are of little value, but I have to remind you again, be careful not to look into them."

Pei Ye nodded: "Thank you."

Zhang Xiaozhu closed the door and walked out, walking away.

Pei Ye stood quietly, looking at the old and new beads all over the wall.

The location of the quiet room is very remote, the wooden door is very heavy, and there is only a small high window on the wall.

The morning light shines in, the floating dust ripples slightly, and there seem to be countless souls in the quiet air. The young man pursed his lower lip. After a long moment, he reached out and picked one off.

This one looks very old. The white amber has been slightly discolored since it was six or seven years old, but it is still very well preserved.

Pei Ye knew why Xianrentai found such a set of beads in Jianbelly Mountain, because no matter how much was lost outside, the ones they successfully sent back were the ones that were included in the [Mirror Dragon] and [Heart Mirror].

But of course they passed through another pair of eyes first.

Pei Ye held it up in front of his eyes and looked deeply into it.

"Yuquan Mountain, [Hai Yue Tide] Qiu Heron, twenty-three years old, temporarily listed in the sword register twenty-two, the revision meeting decided: Shuke." The white-bearded old man who headed the revision meeting was Shaolong Xiujian Chen Lihuai, the most senior swordsman in the academy, was born in Tianshan when he was young and has been in Shaolong Sword Academy for nearly thirty years since its establishment. Above Ying, but under the book of Zhigu Song in the 16th century, and older, he should be behind the 20th, 23rd Bai Weiyu, 24th Wenjiao, 25th. Wang Jinhong is about the same age as him, but his sword skills are inferior to Qu Ying's, so he has no reason to win."

"The discussion is now open, please tell me your doubts."

All was quiet.

Ren Zixin did not go to the Jade Sword Stage yesterday, but looking at the figures flying down to the sword field, she knew that the atmosphere must not have been so solemn and solemn yesterday, but it was true that both the figure in the hall and the Qingzi who looked down or talked to her opposite Under great pressure, I didn't dare to ask my father's opinion.

It was not until three breaths later that a figure stood up from the front row of the swordsman, it was Cui Zijie.

He clasped his fists upright, bowed first to the hall, then bowed to the Xiuxianhui and the Qingzi Seat in the same upright manner, and finally lowered his sleeves and folded his hands and said: "Everyone, I, Senior Brother Menqiu, have entered the Fourteenth Square, and have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. Shang Shao, on the other hand, I personally think that the theory of 'sword realm' is wrong."

"What's wrong with Cui Zhen's message?"

Qiu Heron stood up at this time, clasped his fists and said loudly: "My lords, Heron would like to meet the Master of the Book of the Sixteenth Song Dynasty!"

Many people in the hall were slightly shocked, and Ren Zixin covered her mouth - this was a challenge for one to surpass six people!

The secluded room was so quiet that it seemed like two different worlds from the Jade Sword Terrace.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the boy who was staring at the beads breathed a sigh of relief and moved the beads away from his eyes.

Then he took out a notebook and began to list carefully from top to bottom in clumsy handwriting.

【First one】

1. "The Sword Covers the Moon" by Yunyang Tower

2. Ignorance·A1

3. Ignorance·A2

4. Suspected to be the blessed place of Five Swords·A3

five,.

Until there was a long list, Pei Ye put this one back in its place and picked up the second one.

His lips were slightly pursed, as if he was doing something that he found difficult with all his heart.
