different paths

In the east wing room, there is light smoke, and an exquisitely crafted blue and white seawater pattern incense burner slowly emits bursts of fragrance.There are thick curtains hanging in the room, the light is dim and unclear, only two lamps with branches are lit on the incense table.The workmanship of the branch lamp is complicated, not like ordinary products. One person stands on the base of the dragon, bowing and playing the piano, the trunk of the tree lamp above the head, the trunk is entangled with green vines, vines and branches, and there is a lamp on each protruding branch. There are running lights with handles, and there are birds perched on the branches, which are vivid and lovely.

The three of them stepped into the room, and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes half leaning on the bed, and a scholar in green clothes sitting on the edge, with a few slender fingers resting on a white wrist.Hearing the movement at the door, the scholar in Tsing Yi turned his head and nodded towards the three of them, but the beauty in white closed her eyes slightly as if she had never heard of it, remaining indifferent.

"How is Clan Master Li now?" Jia Wujua asked with his eyes on Li Yan's pale face.At this moment, Li Yan was completely washed out, she was a little less charming than usual, but a little more heroic.

The scholar in Tsing Yi tucked Li Yan's outstretched hand with a thin blanket, stood up and said: "There is no serious problem, but if you want to fully recover, you need to rest for a while."

"The poison that benefactor Li is suffering from is really the poison of the corpse flower?" Monk Fa Yan asked.

The scholar in Tsing Yi nodded: "Exactly. Fortunately, Sect Master Li sealed the meridians in time, and the poison of the corpse flower did not penetrate into the lungs. Otherwise, even if there are herbs from the tomb for medicine, there is no possibility of a radical cure."

Monk Fayan uttered the Buddha's name in a low voice, but his gaze stayed on the incense table.

Noticing his gaze, the scholar in Tsing Yi said, "Does the mage think there is something wrong?"

Monk Fa Yan sighed softly: "The lamp is a good lamp, if it has a gauze cover, it would be even better." Where his eyes fell, there were several corpses of moths lying on the lamp with branches.The lamp flame flickered, illuminating the moth's wings flickering, as if it could still struggle to fly in the next moment.

At this moment, a cold sneer came from the bed——

"Sweeping the floor may hurt the lives of ants, cherish the moth gauze lamp, you Buddhist family is compassion." Li Yan opened her eyes at some point, and looked at Monk Fayan and his party with mocking eyes.

"Master Li's words are wrong. Don't you know that among the Four Great King Kongs of Shaolin, there is one who loves sweeping the floor the most?" A teasing voice sounded, it was Qiu Wanzhan.

Li Yan glanced at Qiu Wanzhan lightly, but did not speak. For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little stagnant.

Seeing this, Jia Wuchai hurriedly said: "Since Sect Master Li is fine, why don't you go to the Jiange with us and see how powerful the Yuewang Excalibur is?"

It turned out that when the wine was drunk last night, Lu Changqi spoke quickly and told the news that the King of Yue's Excalibur was released.Originally, after several twists and turns, he wanted to wait for the divine sword to be forged before revealing the news, but he didn't expect that the turbid wine got into his stomach, and his head was hot, but he still couldn't hold it back.

It is at noon today that the soul will come out.

Hearing this news, Li Yan seemed not interested, but casually said: "For such a big event, there must be quite a few heroes present."

"Naturally." Jia Wuchai nodded, "Shaolin, Wudang, Taichong, Beggars and other famous sects needless to say, even the small sects who have not been to the villa a few days ago, they heard the news last night and sent people Hurry up and make sure to arrive at Longyuan Villa before noon."

Hearing the grand occasion that Longyuan Villa is about to usher in, Li Yan, as the sect master of her secret opponent Jianwumen, not only was not unhappy, but showed a happy smile: "That would be the best."

She smiled deep into her eyes, and there was a sense of joy from the heart in her tone.

At seven quarters past, the front of the Jiange in Longyuan Villa was bustling with people from all walks of life who came here admiringly.Nearest to Shimen, the four teams of Shaolin, Wudang, Taichong and Beggars occupy a corner each. The gang members of the "Big Gang" also have disciples of the "Guanzhong Jiuhao", and there are also many sword warriors, presumably from the large and small sword sects in the Heluo area.Further away, a group of people in brocade robes and jade belts, with goose-winged knives inserted obliquely, and goshawk pictures embroidered on their chests, and only the leader of them carried a fire dragon gun on their backs. It was Suo Luzheng and his party.

Jia Wujue looked at Suo Luzheng and his party and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I thought they had left first."

"How could they leave so easily without seeing Zhuanpo?" Qiu Wanzhan said.

Jia Wujue glanced at him: "Could it be that you know what mission the imperial court sent them?"

Qiu Wanzhan smiled slightly: "The Beggar Clan has eyes and ears all over the world, so it's not a problem to know this little thing."

"Oh? What is that mission?" Jia Wuhai asked curiously.

"Although it's not a problem, I just don't want to know."

Jia Wukai glanced at Qiu Wanzhan's playful smile, and silently rolled his eyes.

Qiu Wanzhan had had enough of teasing, and he just said seriously: "Actually, you don't need to ask, you can guess the purpose of their trip. The royal family has always valued dragon veins. There are three major dragon veins in the world, Genlong in the North, Zhenlong in the Central Plains, and Zhenlong in the South. Xunlong, both came from Kunlun. Kunlun is the root of the dragon veins, and Longyuan Villa is in an important position in Kunlun, so naturally every move has attracted the attention of the court."

"You said that..." Jia Wujue glanced around, "It reminded me."

"Oh?"

"As far as I know, the dragon veins are divided into birth dragons, death dragons, parallel dragons, and reverse dragons, etc. The birth dragons are galloping and rolling, winding and undulating, with myriad postures; the dead dragons are as stiff as corpses, with monotonous postures and It is the same as the dead snake. Those who follow the dragon are in the same direction as the main vein, and gather qi, which is an auspicious place; those who go against the dragon and the main vein are in the opposite direction, and retain yin energy, which is a bad place." Jia Wujue frowned slightly, "I first When I came to Longyuan Villa, I felt a little strange, but I didn't think about it. After you mentioned it today, I realized that the terrain of the villa is a reverse dragon."

"Unexpectedly, brother Jia also has a lot of research on geomancy." Qiu Wanzhan glanced at him appreciatively, "Yes, the mountain situation of Longyuan Villa is really weird. In my opinion, it's not just as simple as being in Nilong. But Well," he rubbed his nose and said, "since ancient times, the art of casting swords has always been mysterious and mysterious. The right time, place and people are indispensable. Maybe only in this weird terrain can we forge unparalleled artifacts. Otherwise, why would Yue Zhi There were thousands of choices back then, and there was old man Sikong to help, but this place was chosen?"

Jia Wujue let out a "huh", but the doubts in his heart still did not dissipate.He looked around aimlessly, and when his eyes fell on the Shaolin group, he suddenly realized a problem, and he immediately walked towards them quickly.

Monk Fa Yan was fighting with the disciples beside him, when he heard someone behind him say: "Master, have you ever seen Brother Yue?"

He turned around when he heard the words, saw that Jia Wuju seemed anxious, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jia, don't worry, although the Sa family has not seen the younger brother today, but he is a big living person, and his skills are extraordinary, Long Yuan With so many guards in the villa, nothing will happen."

"But I clearly remembered that I went back to the place where I stayed with him yesterday, but when I woke up, I was in the corridor." Jia Wujue still had a worried expression on his face, "When I went back to the guest room to look for him, someone had already gone to the room. It's empty. I thought he came to the Jiange with the mage, but it doesn't seem to be the case."

Monk Fa Yan was kind-hearted and fat, he didn't think anything would happen to him as a junior, he laughed and said: "Brother Jia, listen to the Sa family, if you care about it, you will be confused. There are so many pairs of eyes watching at Longyuan Villa. If someone wants to misbehave with my junior brother, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to do so. Besides, my junior brother usually makes good friends, so how can anyone harm him?"

"But he came here this time for the matter of Yue Wang's Excalibur. Now that the Excalibur is released, he has never shown up. Doesn't the mage find it strange?" Jia Wujue frowned.

"The little junior brother from the Sa family has a really good heart, but his temper is a bit cold after all. Maybe he just thinks there are too many people at this time, and I don't know."

Monk Fayan's big lala finally defeated Jia Wujue, he sighed, and decided to look for Yue Chentan after appreciating the sword.At this moment, the stone gate of Jiange was pushed open with a "boom", and Lu Changqi walked out of the stone gate with a happy face.Behind him, there is still a silent cover-up, just after the wedding, but there is no trace of joy on his face.

"Thanks to everyone who appreciates and tolerates the repeated postponement of Zhuanpo's birth, I would like to thank everyone in advance." Lu Changqi said, bowing deeply, and then continued, "These days have been turbulent, thanks to everyone It is only with the help of outstanding heroes that turning souls can be forged. Now that noon has come, Lu sincerely invites all of you to enjoy the divine sword together!"

With an excited wave of his hand, the stone door of the Jiange opened wide, and the crowd rushed in. The originally spacious Jiange was filled with people who came to watch the excitement in an instant. "哗啦" There was a loud noise, and several iron chains hung down in response. Everyone hurriedly grabbed the chain links, and after a while, they reached the top floor of the Jiange.

On the top floor of the Jiange Pavilion, the gate of the mechanism made of god statues is still tightly closed.

Lu Changqi saw that everyone was puzzled, so he explained: "The last part of sword casting must be rid of popularity, so yesterday morning, the top craftsmen left the stone room. In order to be safe, the entire sword pavilion was also sealed. So "He looked at the crowd and said, "Lu, like everyone else, has never seen the true face of turning around."

As he spoke, he and Yan Ri walked to both sides of the stone gate and activated the mechanism.The blood pooled in the palm of the statue, and the statue was divided into two from head to toe, half benevolent, half ferocious, and moved slowly to both sides.

Lu Changqi took the lead and walked in the front. He walked briskly, with irrepressible joy.Seeing the huge Bronze Jue appearing in his field of vision, his already steady pace quickened a bit, as if he couldn't wait for another minute and a second.

Behind him, people in the Jianghu had different expressions, some were smiling, some were rolling their eyes. Many stretched their necks and raised their heads to look into the distance, unable to hold back the urgency and longing in their hearts.

But some of them had different expressions from others, not only did they not show joy, but they frowned instead.Before the crowd reached Bronze Jue, they heard a voice coldly saying: "There is a fishy smell."

The sound was too cold, without any warmth, everyone was stunned when they heard it, and before they could react, they heard a loud "bang" in front of them, and the huge bronze horn actually cracked from the middle——

A figure slowly fell down from the split belly.

With a "plop", the blood pool submerged the figure. Lu Changqi stood in front of the blood pool, his lips were darkened, and his face was pale.
