Last night in King Nanzhao's side hall study, the king took him to the armory with a hidden compartment behind the study.

He also saw the double swords illuminated by a luminous bead at a glance.

According to legend, it was a pair of assassination blades made by King Nanzhao. It killed people invisible. It was a top-quality double blade made by a peerless swordsman in the Miao region. It cut bones as if they were mud and left no trace of blood. He handed these swords over before his death.

It was given to the then Lord of Dali City, and the royal family kept it under special care after that. No one among the remaining Martial Saint leaders has ever seen this double blade again.

It turned out that it was indeed in the Dali Palace.

This pair of swords ranks among the top five weapons, comparable to the divine sword Kuiyu.

"This weapon is called Heartless and Severed." Tang Yejue wiped the blade gently.

As the name suggests, only by ruthlessly cutting off thoughts can the weapon's power be maximized.

Lu Zhanfeng also nodded: "The ultimate love can be combined with moves to reach a state that no one can easily reach, but the ultimate love can sometimes be a sharp blade. If you want to practice to that state, it may take some time. After all,

Yesterday, someone told me that after I returned from working at the monastery, I would marry a wife and have children."

After hearing this, Li Yuan interjected: "Then the price of using this weapon is too high, right? How can we end love and love?"

Tang Yejue thought for a moment and replied: "If you ask me, I don't know. However, there is a kind of Gu called Soul-Destroying Gu, which can make people lose all their feelings... Is this considered heartless?"

Li Qingjun teased him: "You don't want to use this Gu to achieve the point where man and sword become one, do you?"

"No, it's not necessary yet." Tang Yejue shrugged, "With my martial arts, it's enough to just use its normal power."

The group had breakfast, got into the carriage prepared by King Nanzhao's order, and walked out of the Nine Layers Palace Gate.

Lord Li Qing handed over the wronged souls in the gourd to the monks of Dali Chenghuang Temple. In this way, the matter of "the fairy in the painting" seemed to have come to an end. Luo Shengyou, who was eyeing the throne, was also captured by the courtiers.

After the verdict, he was imprisoned, and King Nanzhao ordered his property to be confiscated and distributed all to the people. This seemed to be a good ending after what they had experienced in Dali.

The journey to the Central Plains is about to continue.

After spending a long time in the Nanzhao Palace, I lifted up the curtains and saw that the blue sky after the rain was much fresher and more beautiful than the blue I saw when I looked up from the deep palace. Shops were lined up on both sides of the road, and vendors were shouting and wooing pedestrians rushing to the early market.

Even the teahouse and bookstore have opened long ago. The waiter in the shop has a sweat towel on his shoulders and looks around for customers like an eagle.

The morning filled with the atmosphere of the city was so lively. When passing by the royal koi pond, Li Yuan lay in the car and sighed: "I seem to have been trapped here for a long time, and now I can finally leave here. Li Yuan is so happy."

"

Li Qingjun also took a look outside. There were still many koi in the pond, but the red one with white stripes on its tail was missing. It seemed that the most beautiful one asked him for help on the street that day.

Koi... Subconsciously, he glanced at Li Yuan from the corner of his eye, but when Li Yuan looked back at him, he quickly looked away.

After passing this street, you will soon have to go to the suburban path, and the carriage will be delivered here. From here, you can go over half a mountain and a village at the junction to reach the Central Plains.

So Tang Yejue and others got off the carriage, bought some dry food on the street, and walked onto the trail. However, the further they walked, the more secluded they became, especially after climbing half the mountain.

In order to conserve their energy, they did not talk too much and just walked with their heads down. On both sides, there were either cliffs dozens of feet high or bushes growing randomly together horizontally and vertically.

Gradually it went from bustling with people to deserted.

At this moment, Tang Yejue and others were about to pass by a high slope, which was around the corner. Footsteps suddenly sounded. They could only hear the sound, but no one could be seen.

Lu Zhanfeng and Tang Yejue exchanged glances, and then drew out their weapons. Li Qingjun protected Li Yuan, and there was an inexplicable aura of sword-drawing and crossbows around him. Li Qingjun hid behind Li Qingjun and asked in a low voice: "

Why is this place so desolate just a short time after we left? Logically speaking, this is also the boundary of Nanzhao Kingdom?"

"Something is fishy, ​​don't wander around." Li Qingjun warned the girl behind him.

Cari Yuan could only nod, an undercurrent of caution surging in the bead ring on her wrist.

However, soon, they saw a piece of coarse cloth and a patchwork long skirt, revealing a piece of skirt. Then, walking into their field of vision was a cardamom girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing the posture of holding weapons, the girl was so frightened that half of the basket of firewood fell off her back.

"...Don't be nervous, girl." Li Qingjun immediately said gently and comfortingly: "We are not bad people."

Lu Zhanfeng and Tang Yejue also quickly put away their weapons.

But the girl still looked them up and down with suspicious eyes: "You, where are you from?"

"Nanzhao Kingdom." Tang Yejue replied hurriedly, taking out a pastry from his chest: "This is for you to eat, it's very sweet."

He wanted to get close, but the girl ignored him at all and even took half a step back, very guarded.

Tang Yejue handed it to Li Yuan with some dumbfounding. As a girl, the girl was obviously much less wary of Li Yuan.

"Tell sister, why are you here?" Li Yuan knelt down and handed the pastry to the girl. It didn't look like there was anyone in the area, and he didn't know where the girl came from.

The girl's earthy hands carefully took over the well-made pastry, weighed the dry firewood behind her, raised her eyes to look at Carp Kite, and replied: "I live in the middle of the mountain, and there is a big natural hole nearby, and there are

A century-old tree, if its branches are blown down by the wind and fall in, it will not get wet by the rain.”

It has been raining for days and the branches that have been soaked can no longer be used as firewood.

"Where are you going?" she asked next.

Lu Zhanfeng thought that she often walked in this area and wanted to get familiar with it: "Keep going forward. Do you know what is ahead?"

The girl was slightly surprised: "You are going to the Central Plains?"

Li Yuan nodded: "Yes."

"Take a detour, take a detour." The girl immediately shook her head like a rattle: "If you go around the mountain next to it, you can also go to the Central Plains."

Tang Yejue squinted his eyes, trying to see how many mountains there were, but the mountains were foggy. Finally, he compromised and asked, "How long does it take to walk? Have you been there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull thunder suddenly sounded in the distant sky. At that time, the sky brightened, and when he looked up, he saw that the dark clouds had dispersed, but it was not a sign of clearing up.

The girl also raised her head and glanced, and then spoke faster: "I have been to that place when I was a child. I climbed over several mountains and walked a section of water. It took so many days at least."

She held up three fingers.
