Star Trace Gate

Chapter 81 Origin of Kyoto

Tomb of Princess Anping, second floor.

Ten players sat cross-legged, each summarized the scattered information found in the tomb passage, and narrated the major events in Princess Anping's life from a first-person perspective.

Because everyone speculated that Princess Anping's life might be related to the subsequent mission, everyone was immersed in it, and Princess Xu Qingzhao took the lead in telling the first story.

She sits tall and straight, and her voice is gentle and melodious.

"I am Anping,

An eldest princess who was born in the late Jingguo period, a period of frequent wars.

Before the age of eighteen, I was born and raised in a palace. My life was as plain as water, making no ripples. Even if I wanted to describe it, I couldn't write about it.

When I was eighteen years old, I met Li Mu again.

I haven't seen him for three years since we passed by him in Qinglian Township.

I don’t know why, but that day, the figure of him dressed in white, drinking strong wine, and leaving with his sword left a very deep memory in my mind.

There is no such man in the palace, nor in the court. In the past three years, I have always thought of him when I was in a trance.

The year I saw him again, spring was already blooming.

Huang Zi, a swordsman from southern Xinjiang, has been living in Kyoto for more than three months. He has spread word to the world that he wants to fight Li Mu, who is known as "the best swordsman in Sichuan".

This attracted countless talents, celebrities, swordsmen, and people from all over the world to gather in Kyoto, all just to see who would become the "No. 1 Sword Immortal in the World".

That day, my brother and I climbed up to the Wangxi Tower together. Looking up into the distance, we saw that the long street outside the imperial city was already overcrowded and very lively.

It is said that Huang Zi, a swordsman from southern Xinjiang, was born ten years ago. With his famous sword 'Ling Yun', he defeated all the heroes in the world, but for some unknown reason, he has never been to Shu.

I have heard that there have been discussions in the Jianghu that as long as Li Mu is still alive, Huang Zi will not dare to enter Shu or draw his sword to the north.

So, Huang Zi, who had been preparing for three years, came to Jingguo Kyoto and announced to the world that he would fight Li Mu.

The country of Jing was proficient in martial arts, and the world was full of excitement. Many people regarded fame and fortune as their own lives.

More than three months have passed, and Li Mu has never responded directly. However, many good people have brought him news, claiming that Li Mu is already on the way to Beijing, will arrive today, and will definitely pass by here.

At sunrise, Huang Zi came to the ring and waited, but the day passed and it was already sunset, but Li Mu had not yet appeared.

Brother Huang was impatient to wait, and so were the crowds of spectators on the long street... Even I was a little uninterested.

Is Li Mu scared? Don't you dare to challenge?

But just when my brother and I were about to leave Wangxi Tower and return to the palace, he finally appeared.

I remember clearly that he was still dressed in white, walking lightly, being held up by three friends, looking drunk.

Aren’t you trying to be number one in the world? Wasn't it the battle that famously moved Jingguo?

Why is he drunk?

I don't understand.

Looking from afar, he came from the south of the long street. He seemed to be drunk and unconscious. He was held up by three friends all the way. He ignored the 'judge' who came specially, ignored the ring, and even ignored Huang Zi, who was waiting for a day of fighting. , just staggering by the roadside, as if he had forgotten... He, Li Mu, is today's protagonist!

When he was about to walk across the ring, Huang Zi, who had been waiting for a day, finally couldn't help it and said: "Sword Immortal of Shu, come on stage and fight me!" '

Unexpectedly, Li Mu stopped, squinted his eyes, and asked teasingly: "Who is the Sword Immortal?" '

Huang Zi didn't want to waste any more words: "Li Mu, are you going to be timid?" '

Li Mu took off the strong wine from his waist, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "Afraid to fight?" What if you win today, and what if you lose? ! '

Huang Zi is arrogant and full of vigor, and is not afraid of this life-and-death battle: "I will not enter Shu, just to support your reputation as a swordsman." Today, take your name and reach the top of the world! '

The street was silent, and the emperor brother and I stood up one after another, stood on the high platform, and stared nervously with bated breath.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu took another sip of strong wine, raised his arm and threw the three-foot long sword that had been with him for more than ten years onto the ring, discarding it like a broken shoe.

'Ha ha. '

'Leave this fame in the world for your benefit, leave this peach cake and turbid wine for me. '

He replied with a smile, and with the support of three friends and under the gaze of thousands of onlookers, he escaped and staggered into the city gate.

The shocking battle that attracted the attention of the whole world ended without Li Muwei accepting the challenge.

The onlookers who came after hearing the news returned disappointed.

Even Wang Tong, the emperor's brother and the annoying son of the chief minister, commented: "You have no spine, just for fame and reputation." '

This was naturally meant for Li Mu.

I was also disappointed and puzzled, but more importantly, I was curious.

Li Mu is not only a swordsman, but also a scholar, and this scholar has always regarded reputation as his life.

Isn't he afraid of the ridicule of the world? Aren't you afraid that the fame you have accumulated for half a lifetime will disappear in an instant?

After that day, there was a saying in the world that "there are no more rivers and lakes in Shu, and swordsmen in Shu will not go south".

Later, when I returned to the palace, I was still puzzled.

For some reason, although he made me a little disappointed, I found that the scene today was more profound and unforgettable than the passing by Qinglian Township three years ago...

Leave the world's fame for your benefit, leave the peach cake and muddy wine for me.

Does he really dare not accept the challenge?

Or disdain to challenge?

Remembering that my father had mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to marry me to Wang Tong, the son of the chief minister, I felt even more upset. I wanted to talk to someone, and I also wanted to drink a sip of strong wine...

Sleepless at night, I couldn't help but want to see him. "

Without haste or delay, the beautiful and melodious voice disappeared.

Xu Qingzhao raised his head and glanced at the crowd: "The princess's life that I have seen ends here."

"Cough cough."

Liu Jishan came to his senses and commented in a vulgar manner: "Li Mu is a bit of a pervert. But he does have a certain pretense. If you ask me to correct these two sentences in public, I won't be able to do it."

Xu Qingzhao gave him a cold look: "If he is a mediocre person, how can he make Princess Anping fall in love at first sight?"

"Humph."

Liu Jishan pouted and replied, "You're just a nymphomaniac."

Hearing this, Tang Feng was not happy anymore: "What do you mean by a nymphomaniac? I am a princess. If I don't like handsome, talented, and world-famous people, how can I love you, who has more than three meters of hair on your chest and teeth? If you don’t do it, you will be a stinky person with Three Character Classics!”

"I'm uneducated, so what?" Liu Jishan's eyes showed the fearless rush of an ignorant person: "Drill a hole! Do you want to drill a hole!?"

"We are in the princess's tomb, you'd better not talk nonsense." Groomman No. 6 looked at Liu Jishan: "It would be bad if it affects everyone."

Liu Jishan blinked, glanced furtively at the windy tomb passage, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more.

"I'm a little confused now." No. 3 Xing Tao frowned and whispered: "Generally in ancient royal tombs, the life of the tomb owner is very concise. Why is Princess Anping's so long, and it is more like an autobiography, or Is it a love story?”

Next to him, Ren Ye was thinking about this issue before, but he thought about it carefully. Since the star gate is set up like this, it means... there must be important information in Princess Anping's life, but it's just buried in words. Here, you need to find out the clues yourself.

……

In Mr. Lu’s star gate.

After He Xiazi thought for a long time, he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid...it will be difficult to find that writer. If he really wants to go through the life-and-death stage of the mission, then he is probably already in the Star Gate. The higher the level, the more likely he is. The longer the phased tasks are, the more likely it will be three to five years.”

Mr. Lu sat on the edge of the well and drank another mouthful of well water: "Do you know the purpose of calling you here today?"

"I guessed it." He Xizi nodded immediately: "I have raised Yao Sen for three years. Do you want to use him?"

"Does he have a very rare prop?" Mr. Lu asked.

"Yes, that prop can indeed be 'stealed'." He Xizi added: "You came to me because my magic has the property of 'actors leaving the scene', which can be used for secondary evacuation, right? ?”

Mr. Lu nodded, pointed at him and said: "Let Yao Sen go to Kyoto, and you will take care of him outside. I don't know if the second act of Qingliang Mansion is the final chapter, but we must pave the way before Ren comes out." good."

"No problem." He Xizi nodded immediately: "I will go and talk to Yao Sen. I hope he is willing to take this job."

"Is he still unwilling to join the Bell Club?" Mr. Lu asked: "If he is willing, with that prop alone, he will at least be a Golden Bell."

He Xizi shook his head.

"Oh, then take your time. You must convince him to go to Kyoto."

"I try my best."

After the two of them finished chatting, He Xizi said goodbye and left.

Mr. Lu picked up his hoe and shouted outside the courtyard: "Keep singing to calm down your heart."

"Once upon a time, I walked forward at a loss,

On the dark night road...! "

The group of women sang even more cheerfully.

Farms, gardens, healthy vegetables, cool well water, and a group of women who can open their mouths and moan... Mr. Lu's peaceful life is the dream of many men!

……

On the high-speed rail.

"This train will arrive in Kyoto City in five minutes. Passengers getting off the train, please...!"

The loudspeaker sounded. Ren Qingning yawned, took off his blindfold, and asked blankly: "Are you getting off the car?"

"Yes." Ren Daguo nodded slowly and handed over a bottle of water dotingly: "Drink a little to moisten your throat."

"Thank you." Ren Qingning smiled and turned to look at Yan Duoduo: "Boss, can we move around on our own while we are in Beijing?"

"What's wrong?" Yan Duoduo asked.

"I made an appointment with a friend, and we may have to play alone for two days." Ren Qingning smoothed his messy hair, raised his little hands, and said coquettishly: "But I promise that I will not cause any trouble to the organization."

When Yan Duoduo heard this, he frowned: "You said you're going to play for two days, but you're not going back to the hotel to stay?"

"Yeah!" Ren Qingning nodded.

"When you said that, I also remembered that there were two people walking together on the street who wanted to invite me for a drink." Ren Daguo picked up his luggage and looked at Yan Duoduo.

……

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Mr. Dan from the Fraudulent Chamber of Commerce, who had been tricked by Ren Ye and Huang Wei, was standing in the airport lobby with a phone in his hand: "Yes, quickly check the actor's information for me. Uh-huh, the boss is in a hurry..."
