Chapter 9: The Old Man at the Head of the City
Huangfu Yuxiu arrived in Liaodong a little later than Li Xuandu and others, because he became less and less confident about this trip to Liaodong. The reason why this is so is not because of the previous blockade and killing, at that time he did not show his true face, nor did he show any real ability, and he was not afraid that Qin Buer and others would be able to recognize him, what really discouraged him was the attitude of the Liaodong Qin clan towards Li Xuandu. Not to mention that the four ministers led by Qin Buyi walked with Li Xuandu all the way, and not to mention that the hall master of the Beichen Hall of the Heavenly Sect of the Heavenly Sect personally greeted him when he was at the boundary of Yanzhou, but what he saw in Yuguan that night made him completely unconfident.
Soon after Li Xuandu and others arrived in Yuguan, Huangfu Yuxiu also hurried in. For him, although this place is an important military town, it is not difficult to blend in. After entering Yuguan, he hid in the tower at the head of the city, and then Li Xuandu and Qin Qing appeared one after another. He had already learned from the Holy Monarch that Qin Qing was preparing to break through from the Heavenly Transformation Realm to the Immortal Realm, and he would not leave Liaodong until he was idle, but at this juncture, he still came to Yuguan and met Li Xuandu in person, how could this not make Huangfu Yuxiu discouraged?
Huangfu Yuxiu didn't know if Qin Qing had discovered himself at that time, but there was a high probability that he should have found it, otherwise Qin Qing would not have slapped the city wall inexplicably. Huangfu Yuxiu was an interesting person, and from Qin Qing's palm, he heard the words that contained the meaning of rejection.
Because of this, after Huangfu Yuxiu came to Liaodong, he did not visit the Qin family, but only tentatively handed a letter of worship to the governor's palace, but the result was sunk into the sea. Huangfu Yuxiu immediately understood that the road to Liaodong had been blocked, and before he could show his sincerity, Qin Qing and Zhao Zheng had already made a choice. So he had no choice but to leave this land where the Ten Sects originated.
On the way back to the northwest, he received a message from the Holy Monarch Taiyun, telling him to go to the Golden Horde immediately.
Huangfu Yuxiu had to temporarily change his itinerary and embark on the journey to the Golden Horde.
I don't know if it's because of the limited space of the biography, or because Taiyun has other concerns, in short, the biography is vague, only saying that he should go to the Golden Horde, and after he arrives, someone will come to see him.
This reminded Huangfu Yuxiu of the previous sect master of the Wudao Sect, that is, the person who taught him the "Nine Profound Skills" - the "Magic Knife" Song Zheng.
There is rarely a single person on the rivers and lakes, and more often it is a moment of brightness, such as Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu, or Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui. Song Zheng and Qin Qing were like this back then, the two acted in a righteous and evil manner, which was completely different, which can be seen from the titles of the two. However, if you talk about realm cultivation, it was Song Zheng who was stronger back then, and Song Zheng was only half a step away from the immortal realm when Yuxu fought the sword, otherwise he would not have beaten Li Daoxu's idea, and Qin Qing only now had the realm of Song Zheng back then, and began to officially prepare to promote to the immortal realm. After Song Zheng disappeared, there were rumors that he had gone to the Golden Horde, but was this rumor true? If Song Zheng was still alive, what would he be in today? Has he been successfully promoted to the Immortal Realm, or has he become a waste?
......
From the Golden Horde to the southeast, the southwest of Liaodong, located at the intersection of the northwest, Liaodong and the grassland, there is an ancient military town, which was originally the capital of the previous dynasty to protect the house, and later the Golden Horde Iron Horse went south to enter the customs, and the Great Jin Dynasty died because of this, this military array naturally did not survive, became a ruin, and only the ruins remained.
Later, commerce flourished, because the Golden Horde was far away, the caravans chose to stay here to rest, and the caravans from the northwest and the caravans from Liaodong converged here, and then embarked on the ancient trade route that had been opened up for many years, so this place gradually became a place similar to a post station or inn, but there were no men to serve, and no one would collect money.
When the Yan family caravan came here, there were already several northwest caravans staying and occupying several good positions. Fortunately, this former capital protectorate covers a vast area, and the Yan family still found a leeward place and set up camp.
Li Xuan has a habit of coming to an open place to observe the terrain whenever he goes to a strange place, which is the root of his illness when he was chased and killed by the Heshuo heroes, in order to be able to get out smoothly after the guerrilla sneak attack, he must be familiar with the terrain. So whether it was in Beiyang Mansion or Yuguan, Li Xuandu always had to go to the city to feel at ease.
Many times, there are always changes in the city, when he was in Beiyang Mansion, he met a strange woman, at that time he only had Xuanyuan Realm, but he was beaten by others, and he had no power to fight back. When he was in Yuguan, he met his father-in-law, fought a fight, and lost again.
However, the habit of many years is not so easy to change, Li Xuandu still said to Zhang Wendu, and came to the city wall here, although part of the city wall has collapsed, but most of the city wall is still intact, enough for Li Xuandu to go around the city for a week.
Li Xuandu stopped at the collapsed city gate tower, and found a stone tablet in the ruins, after Li Xuandu roughly read it, it turned out to be a desperate letter, which was left by the last guard of the capital protection mansion, which made Li Xuandu sigh and sigh.
At this moment, someone unceremoniously gave Li Xuandu a kick from behind.
This kick came silently, even Li Xuandu didn't notice half a point, and was almost kicked headlong into the city. Fortunately, at the last moment, Li Xuandu forcibly stopped the castration and was able to stand firm, but there was still a clear concave footprint in the back of the heart.
Li Xuandu turned his head to look, his face changed slightly.
The man who came out was a woman with a hood.
The so-called hat, originally belonged to the beard, the first style is called "Mi Li", generally made of soap yarn or white yarn, there is a wide brim around, there is a drooping silk mesh or thin silk under the eaves, which is long to the neck, in order to cover the face, the longest can even reach the foot surface, and to later generations, and the surrounding vertical net is shortened, you can slightly expose a small half of the chin, also known as "shallow exposure", can be regarded as a necessary thing for women to go out, Li Xuandu once gave Qin Su a top. And the hat worn by this woman is quite retro, and the white veil hanging down the eaves to the neck is not the same as the "shallow dew" that Li Xuandu gave to Qin Su. This reminded Li Xuandu of the unbearable past in Beiyang Mansion.
When he was in Beiyang Mansion, Li Xuan was in the Xuanyuan Realm, and this woman was in the Innate Realm, and she was only one step away from the True Realm. Now Li Xuandu is already in the immeasurable realm of heaven and man, and Li Yuanying is not his opponent, but this woman is still a cut above him, is there anyone in this world who ascends faster than him?
The woman saw that Li Xuandu's face was cloudy, and smiled faintly: "Don't think that I can't recognize you if you wear a mask, you have grown better than last time, I don't know how many tricks you can take from me this time?"
When the words fell, the woman stretched out a finger and nodded to Li Xuandu lightly.
Li Xuandu only felt that the operation of the qi in his body had stagnated for a moment, and at the same time, the bridge between heaven and earth that was sympathetic to heaven and man was also forcibly interrupted, and the whole person seemed to have become an island, and he could no longer borrow any external force. Li Xuandu had to rely on his own body to slap a palm.
This finger was on Li Xuandu's palm, causing a bloody hole to explode on the back of Li Xuandu's hand. It was just a finger, but it was more powerful than any divine weapon, and it directly pierced Li Xuandu's palm.
Li Xuan was not frightened, at this time, the qi in his body had returned to normal operation, and under the circulation of the qi machine, the "leakage" came into play, and this terrifying-looking wound healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The woman didn't rush to make a move, but said softly: "It's really not easy for you to be able to cultivate the 'leaky passage' of Jing Zen Buddhism to such a point. ”
Li Xuandu is not a mud bodhisattva who can only be beaten but does not fight back, a little under his feet, in mid-air, the "great master" on his waist has been unsheathed, and he slashed towards the woman.
The woman sneered: "You also call it knife technique?"
Before the words fell, her figure appeared on Li Xuandu's side like a ghost, and she punched out. Li Xuandu was in mid-air, and he could only twist his shape with the method of resisting the wind, and the "Great Grandmaster" in his hand was horizontal to block this punch. But to Li Xuandu's surprise, this punch was so powerful that Hugh said that it was the power of the ten tigers, and the power of the twenty tigers was also there. Li Xuandu almost couldn't hold the "Great Grandmaster", and the tiger's mouth cracked directly, and before the blood flower bloomed, it had already healed, and it was repeated several times before he barely took this punch.
After the two landed, the woman stretched out two fingers: "The two moves have passed, and there is still one last move left." ”
