Money in the heavens

"Ice the Yanzi River! Brother Qi, I didn't expect you to have such a method!"

Xu Fengnian looked at Qi Zhengyan in surprise and said.

Qi Zhengyan was usually paralyzed and very silent, but he didn't expect to freeze the surface of the Yanzi River with one move. This method was no more mysterious than Wang Zhonglou's ability to cut off the river with one finger.

Qi Zhengyan said with a smile on his lips:

"The technique just contains some ice power!"

However, everyone can see that this is not only the ice attribute in the true energy, but also the power of heaven and earth. Although it is not as big as the celestial realm, it is not simple.

The young man in green shirt also glanced at Qi Zhengyan in shock, and the boat disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant.

Ning Emei, Xu Fengnian, Qingniao and others flew to the frozen river, fished out the fallen soldiers and horses, and continued to move forward with little loss.

The two cliffs at the end of the cave ridge are as neatly cut as a knife, less than ten feet apart, shaped like a portal, and only one boat can pass through. That was the last gate of hell. The four characters "Ghost Crying Pass" were engraved on the rock. It was carved by Lu Dongxuan, a great immortal who ascended on a crane from Wudang Mountain, with his fairy sword. It's interesting to say that Lu Dongxuan was also called the Three Immortals of Dan, Sword and Poetry. Not only was his swordsmanship superb, He is a famous land swordsman, and he is also good at alchemy. He has many poems and songs, but his calligraphy only has eight characters. Except for "Ghosts Cry at Xiongguan" and "Xuanwu Dangxing", they all use swords as pens.

After leaving the gate of hell, the view suddenly opened up. The three rivers of Yanzi River, Shu River and Canglan River converged. This was once the battlefield of the Spring and Autumn Three Kingdoms, and it has been a famous place where countless heroes and heroes waged wars since ancient times. The water of the river changed from rapid to slow, and the surface of the river changed from narrow to narrow. It is so wide that it feels like you have fallen from the underworld into the world of the sun, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The blue bird jumped down from the second floor of the ship and said softly:

"Your Highness, the man who capsized the ship is waiting for us in the middle of the river."

Sure enough, as the ship moved slowly, we saw the green-shirted travelers again.

This Wu Liuding has really suffered countless hardships!

One pole of provocation is not enough. Do we need three more poles to challenge them all?

Xu Fengnian opened his eyes wide and looked at the Wu family's sword crown that became more and more clear. This young swordsman's appearance was not unusual. His face was old-fashioned. At first glance, he showed an inhumane and withdrawn temperament. The sword was withered in the grave. This has always been the case for future generations of swordsmen. If you want to go out to experience the mountains, you must first defeat an ancestor in the family, regardless of life or death.

Wu Liuding was tall and slender. He did not carry a sword today. He carried the black and green bamboo pole on his shoulders and clasped his hands. This posture was really arrogant to the extreme.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaowei was also eager to try. After all, it was the sword crown from the Wu Family Sword Tomb, so naturally she wanted to step forward to have a look.

However, Li Chungang recalled the old green robe in his exchange with Jiang Ni. The old sword god stretched out his one arm and whispered:

"Xu Fengnian, lend me a sword, just one sword."

Xu Fengnian was stunned.

Li Chungang murmured: "I owe you a sword."

Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, then threw the horizontal knife from his waist and threw it towards the top of the river, as if to throw it to the Qingshan boat a hundred feet away.

The old sword god facing Jiang Ni took one last look at her. He said that day that the little clay figurine in Xu Xiaozi's mouth looked like the Princess of Beiliang. In fact, that was not necessarily the case. She looked more like the girl who liked to wear green clothes.

Li Chungang smiled, only the vicissitudes of life floated out of the bow of the ship, raised his head and laughed boldly:

"Little green robe, look at Li Chungang's sword. His brows are raised and his words are like thunder, like a dragon in the Yanzi River. With your sword in the air, go with one strike. Farewell me at the first watch and come back at the second watch!"

With his back to Bian Zhou, the sword crown in his green shirt and the horizontal sword, without the magic weapon Trojan Horse and Ox, and without the jade tree Linfeng in his youth, the old man with only one arm left held the horizontal sword that was not a sword, turned around and just made a light move. sword. Qi Xuan frame said that I proved the Tao with the power of the sword, but I did not enter the way of heaven and took the wrong path. But you said that one sword strike was enough.

I, Li Chungang, want to be very heavenly? !

One sword is enough!

At first no one saw the grace of this sword, they just felt it was boring and the river was silent.

But the green-robed Dragon King ignored the boat and shot away.

moment.

The river was split open by rumblings, reaching a height of two hundred feet.

With such a sword from the legendary Land Sword Immortal, even if there were real dragons in the world, they would be killed on the spot!

The fighting spirit in Jiang Zhiwei's eyes grew stronger and she whispered:

"What a sword!"

This sword already has the appearance of an external scene, activating the power of heaven and earth.

Old Man Li cut through the sky with his sword for no reason. He seemed to be showing signs of returning to the highest level of martial arts. Without any surprises, he wandered back to the bow of the ship and threw the horizontal knife back to Xu Fengnian. He glanced at the river and the cliff in the distance, and seemed to be relieved of his knot. , smiled bitterly, and then walked into the cabin silently.

But before walking into the cabin, he turned back and took a deep look at Shang Yi. He came to escort Xu Fengnian not only because of Xu Xiao's commission, but also because he wanted to see with his own eyes the means of bringing the dead back to life. If he could really save someone, Princess Wu Su, is it like what Nangong Pushe said, that when you reach a more advanced realm, you can reverse time and everything?

Lü Qiantang, who was watching the tide and practicing heavy sword, was frightened by this sword. He finally remembered Senior Xiaoyao who had stepped on the tide at the head of Guangling River a long time ago. Not to mention a middle-aged swordsman like Lü Qiantang, even Wei Shuyang, who had given up swordsmanship and practiced Taoism, could not help but let his hair and beard spread out. How could he not want to learn from the young people who traveled around the world with swords like Li Jianshen? Deng Tai'a is indeed a new generation of swordsman, but he is far less impressive than Li Chungang. Deng Tai'a is half immortal and half demon, like a celestial being millions of miles away from the ground. After his debut, he rarely made a move, only fighting with Wang Xianzhi and Cao Guanzi. Afterwards, some fragmented rumors were spread, which made people chew on them.

But the old generation of Li Jianshen had won a great reputation in the martial arts world with his swords, especially the love-hate entanglements with women, which made countless younger generations imagine and yearn for him. For example, the old Taoist priest Wei Shuyang remembered that when Li Chungang was at the peak of his martial arts, a female poet who admired his extraordinary style had been obsessed with him and wrote countless poems, praising Li Chungang's flying sword for destroying the first peak of Zhongnan, saying that he had a green snake in his sleeve and was bold, and even said that he was as brave as Lu Zu, and he showed the sky and showed the unfairness to people. All this is over. She has long been old and yellow, her beauty has long been white, and she has long been buried in a lonely grave. Before her death, she did not forget to let future generations burn all her poems.

The martial arts world where Li Jianshen was still there, there were countless of her, who became three thousand weak waters, but he did not see which one he took. Many people and many things in the martial arts world back then were like them, no longer glorious.

On the other side, Meng Qi and others were comparing the martial arts realms in the celestial phenomena and the real world. Such means of inducing the power of heaven and earth were comparable to the outer scene, but there was still some gap compared to the real outer scene in the real world.

After all, in the outer scene realm, ordinary mortal armies were useless, but the celestial realm of this world, and even the immortal realm on land, could hardly confront the army head-on.

But Meng Qi and others could also see that this was not a problem of realm, but caused by the different background and world. If Li Chungang was placed in the real world, he would also be a master-level expert in the outer scene, and even have the hope of achieving the realm of Dharma body.

At this moment, Meng Qi and others just realized how great an opportunity it was for Shang Yi to use his means to bring them to this world.

Seeing the contemplation of Meng Qi and others, Shang Yi nodded slightly, knowing that they understood where the real opportunity in this world was.

This world is not an ordinary martial arts world in the snow, but a world that he evolved together with the great powers on the other side. In other words, the various laws of heaven and earth in this world are almost invisible to practitioners. Compared with the high avenues in the real world, it is relatively easy to comprehend the avenues in this world.

Practicing in this world today can quickly improve their realm and perception, which has unimaginable benefits for future martial arts practice!

Three large ships entered the lake from the river. The 800-mile Chunshen Lake was vast and misty. This lake accommodated six rivers and swallowed the river. It has always been a place of death for military strategists and a tourist attraction for poets. Xu Fengnian stood at the bow to explain the geographical features of Chunshen Lake to everyone, and attached many military insights that Li Yishan had instilled in him.

"Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the North and the South confronted each other, and all of them fought for this place as a base. If you control the Spring God, you can set sail to the east, look down from a high position, and snatch the world like a lion fighting a rabbit. In the past, if the North wanted to drink water in the southeast, or the South wanted to raise troops to the north, they had to pass through the 800-li Spring God Lake. The three cities, three passes and three mountains have always been the focus of military strategists.

Three cities are important, Xiangfan, Xingyang, and Wuling. Xiangfan is important in the world, Xingyang is important in the southeast, and Wuling is important in the state.

Xiangfan has always been said to be the waist and back of the world. When the Three Kingdoms fought here, Wang Mingyang, an old minister of Western Chu, was appointed to become the governor of Xiangfan County. He resisted Xu Xiao's 100,000 troops and armor and defended for three years.

Later, Western Chu was destroyed and Western Shu was destroyed. This Jixia scholar from Shangyin Academy still swore to die and refused to surrender. There was cannibalism in the city, and Wang Mingyang even cooked and killed his wife and children with his own hands. Three years later, the city was broken, and less than 10,000 people in Xiangfan were left, becoming a ghost town. City.

In the correct version!

It is said that ten years after the city was broken, there were still hundreds of thousands of lonely ghosts who refused to leave the city and wailed every night. The dynasty had to let the head of Longhu Mountain go to Xiangfan and set up a Zhoutian Grand Ceremony. The number of seats reached an astonishing 36,500, which was an unprecedented and unparalleled feat.

This offensive and defensive battle earned Wang Mingyang the title of the first defender of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even Xu Xiao admired him.

Only one person achieved success and fame, but he dragged 200,000 people to be buried with him. Wang Mingyang will be a controversial figure in another thousand years. "

As he spoke, Xu Fengnian's expression gradually became complicated. Wang Mingyang's defense of the city caused a lot of losses to Beiliang, but he didn't expect that now he would leave his mother a glimmer of hope. It was really...

Meng Qi and others also had some complicated feelings. Although there was no right or wrong in the national war, the people were the ones who suffered after all!

The guy who was playing the role of host on Mount Lao was an old member of the Northern Liang Army. He had no outstanding military achievements, but he became very successful after entering the business world. He was the richest man in the state, and even the tenth-generation aristocratic families could not compare to him. He was known for his extravagant lifestyle. He once competed with a person with a royal merchant background in the state for financial resources, which attracted countless curses and saliva comparable to half of the Spring God Lake. The old soldier who led Xu Xiao's horse was not conspicuous at first glance. He was dressed like an ordinary person in the market, and he had no arrogance at all. When he saw His Royal Highness, he burst into tears and knelt on the flat ground at the ferry. No matter how Xu Fengnian supported him, he was unwilling to get up, but just fell to the ground and cried. His wife, children and other family members behind him were all dumbfounded.

Xu Fengnian knew the inside story. This sixty-year-old man surnamed Wang not only admired the King of Beiliang very much, but also respected the Princess from the bottom of his heart. He was also one of the few lucky old soldiers in the Beiliang Army who had seen the young Crown Prince draw his sword. Although he was just a horse-leading soldier, the Xu family did not regard him as a servant.

People from the Beiliang Army had two extreme fates. Either they struggled at the bottom and had a headache even with the daily necessities, or they rose to the top and were truly unattainable. This was related to the dynasty's complex psychology towards the Beiliang Army, mixed with fear and jealousy, which led to many rejections, making people labeled as Beiliang Army hold their breath after losing the protection of the Iron Cavalry. After finally achieving success and fame after paying more blood and sweat, they were often particularly sinister and cruel in managing their families, doing business, and engaging in politics.

Wang Linquan, who was kneeling in front of Xu Fengnian, was an example. In the Wang family, family rules were far more important than national laws, and family management was like managing the army. Once a daughter-in-law made a careless statement, Wang Linquan, regardless of the wealthy clan behind her, directly kicked her out of the house, and even her son was dragged to the ancestral hall to be whipped. So when the Wang family members saw the moody and scheming head of the family kneeling to a young man, they burst into tears on the spot. They were all scared and speculated on the identity of this white-robed jade belt.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang traveled and would rest in Mount Laoshan. Naturally, only Wang Linquan, the local snake of Mount Laoshan, knew about it. These were all arranged secretly by Lu Qiuer, and there must be no mistakes. Xu Fengnian looked up at a huge jade Guanyin holding a bottle on the top of Mount Laoshan. It was said that Wang Linquan spent one million silver taels and took ten years to build it. This Guanyin with a pure bottle stepped on a yellow dragon, and there was also a Vajra with angry eyes and lowered his eyebrows. He held a seal in his right hand and pointed directly at the Spring God Lake.

Wang Linquan finally stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and bowed to lead the way for His Royal Highness, just like when he led Xu Xiao's horse. No matter how rich and powerful Wang Linquan is today, he never forgets his roots. Wang Linquan saw that His Royal Highness was looking at the Guanyin statue on the top of the mountain, and said softly: "Your Highness, it is strange to say that Chunshen Lake has a thick column of water rushing straight into the sky every February 2nd for thousands of years. On that day, no one dares to go boating on the lake, so it is called the Dragon Raising its Head. It is said that there is a candle dragon trapped at the bottom of the lake who was punished by heaven for privately bringing rain to the south of the Yangtze River. He should be punished for thousands of years in the world. This dragon was not satisfied with the confinement of the heaven, and specially made trouble on that day. So we all call that day the Dragon Raising its Head, but after I dared to invite Goddess Guanyin, there were no more strange waves in Chunshen Lake. "

No matter whether he was proficient or not, Xu Fengnian, who was knowledgeable, smiled and said, "On February 2, the horns began to appear, and the blue dragon in the east began to show its prowess, which is the Dragon Raising its Head. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient books that dragons ascend to the sky on the spring equinox."

"Your Highness is knowledgeable." The wealthy Wang Linquan praised sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, not flattering. Merchants in the dynasty did not have a high status, but at Wang Linquan's level, he did not need to be servile even if he sat at the same banquet with the governor. Wang Linquan was known for his sternness and revenge. It was as difficult to ask him to sing praises as to ask him to be compassionate. Therefore, once he praised them, whether they were scholars who wrote beautiful articles or officials who cared about the people, they were all very happy and confident.

"It's true." Xu Fengnian said softly, "Aren't you afraid of rumors in the court? Will it affect your business?"

"It doesn't matter to me whether I earn one million or ten million. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Since I can already provide them with food and clothing, I will not be ashamed of my ancestors." Wang Linquan said with a smile.

"You are quite open-minded." Xu Fengnian retracted his gaze and teased.

"These are just the superficial things I learned from the general and the princess. I don't deserve the word open-minded of your highness." Wang Linquan looked ashamed.

Wang Linquan's loyalty made Shang Yi, Meng Qi and others sigh. The means of Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, were so clever that he could even sacrifice everything in his family and his half-life struggle for the Xu family.

You know, how could King Jing'an not know that Xu Fengnian was settled here now? This was a deterrent to King Jing'an. You, the richest man in Qingzhou, are all from Beiliang, let alone others. This made King Jing'an dare not take action against Xu Fengnian in Qingzhou.

However, in this case, after Xu Fengnian left Qingzhou, how could King Jing'an let Wang Linquan and his family leave safely? He would definitely use thundering means to destroy the entire family to intimidate other people in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Wang Linquan's actions can be said to have blocked the Wang family's retreat.

Coming to the square where the Jingping Guanyin statue stood, the white jade Guanyin was angry and lowered her eyebrows, which was very lifelike. The right hand was bent at the elbow towards the Spring God Lake, and the five fingers were stretched out, with the palm facing forward, as if giving fearlessness to all living beings.

If you look closely at the face of the Guanyin statue, you can see that it is somewhat similar to Xu Fengnian, and it is exactly the same as Wu Su, the princess of Beiliang.

Shang Yi's eyes flashed, and he saw the merits and luck contained in the Guanyin statue that suppressed the Spring God Lake, as well as the connection with Beiliang! (End of this chapter)
