Xue Baijin sat cross-legged on the reef. The sea in front of him reflected sparkling colors in the sun. From a distance, it looked like golden dragon scales sprinkled on the sea.
The chubby bird squatted alone on the edge of the reef, with its white hair moving in the wind. Looking at the ice tuo tuo, it cooed softly. Looking at Xiao Suo's back, it must be muttering - asking what love is in the world, it can teach you whether to live or die.
…
After being alone with one person and one bird for an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard in the woods behind.
Chacha~
Niaoniao turned around and looked around, only to see Ye Jingtang walking through the forest with a lunch box and a big grilled fish in his left hand.
"Ji~!"
Bird's eyes suddenly lit up, and like a starving ghost reincarnated, he swooped over and stood on his arm, taking a big bite of the grilled fish.
Ye Jingtang secretly shook his head at this, and did not stop Niaoniao. He stuck the grilled fish on the ground and let Niaoniao eat it by himself. Then he walked up to the rocks and sat down next to Bingtuotuo:
"Eat something, I just made it."
Xue Baijin sat cross-legged with his back straight and his expression neither happy nor sad. He looked like an outsider who had cut off the mortal world even more than in Fengguan City.
Hearing Ye Jingtang's words, Xue Baijin opened his eyes and glanced at the lunch box in front of him - the rice was white rice, with bacon and grilled fish neatly spread on top, with cut eggs in the corner, and even
The fruits picked on the island are embellished with fruits that look full of color, flavor, and appetite. It's obvious that they put a lot of thought into it.
However, Xue Baijin had just finished being screwed last night, and Ye Jingtang went to screw Hua Qingzhi, and deliberately let her listen. At this time, she was obviously not very happy.
For this reason, Xue Baijin took a quick look and then closed his eyes again:
"I'm not hungry."
Ye Jingtang knew that Bing Tuo Tuo was very angry yesterday, but he had nothing to do at the time. At this time, he could only shamelessly sit a little closer, pick up a piece of grilled fish with chopsticks, and bring it to his red lips:
"Ah~"
??
Xue Baijin felt that Ye Jingtang was really a bit presumptuous. He took a breath and looked at Ye Jingtang coldly:
"You...wuwu~"
Ye Jingtang stuffed the grilled fish into his mouth, blocked his words, and said with a smile:
"This fish has no bones, feel free to eat it."
Xue Baijin held the grilled fish in his mouth and shook it with both hands. However, after holding it in for a long time, he still had no choice but to deal with the stalking Ye Jingtang. He snatched the lunch box away and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
Ye Jingtang's eyebrows were curved, and he didn't stare at Bing Tuo Tuo. He just sat in front and admired the seaside scenery. After thinking about it, he asked:
"Yunli has lived in Nanxiao Mountain since he was a child?"
Xue Baijin ate his meal slowly and tilted his head slightly when he heard the words:
"Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just curious. I've never heard Yunli talk about my parents before, nor have I ever asked about them."
Xue Baijin thought for a while and responded:
"Yunli's father was Zhang Henggu's apprentice. He traveled around the world in his early years, accumulated power and restored his country, and was killed by others. Yunli was just born at the time and didn't know about these things at all. Just know it, and don't tell her."
Ye Jingtang frowned and asked:
"Who did it?"
Xue Baijin narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Pingtian Sect is an old minister of the previous dynasty, determined to rebel against Wei and restore Yan. Who can do it?"
"..."
Ye Jingtang fell silent immediately, but after recalling it carefully, he asked again:
"Yunli is just sixteen this year. Sixteen years ago it should have been during the late emperor's reign. The black office had not yet been assigned to the name of Prince Jing. It was integrated with the secret guards and was under the control of Eunuch Cao.
"Zhang Henggu and Protector Zhang are the founding fathers of the Pingtian Sect. His disciples are considered to be high-ranking members of the Pingtian Sect. If he is captured, there should be records in the database. But I used to look up the files of the Pingtian Sect in the Hei Yamen.
I have never seen such records..."
Xue Baijin frowned slightly: "Have you ever looked through the files of the Pingtian Sect? What do you want to do?"
Ye Jingtang spread his hands: "I am a member of the Pingtian Sect, but I don't even know what the Pingtian Sect is like, and Ning'er didn't explain it to me in detail, so naturally I can only go to the black office. I can still investigate.
Is the Pingtian Sect ready to be wiped out?"
Xue Baijin thought about it, but did not delve into this detail, and instead said:
"Yunli's father and mother died unexpectedly outside the church after being hit by the soul-removing needle. The court did not record it. It may be that Yunli's father and mother did not reveal their identities at the time and were regarded as unknown persons in the sect."
The Soul-Leaving Needle was specially made by Divine Doctor Wang. Liu Qiansheng and Qiu Tian were hit by the Soul-Leaving Needle. Their Qi channels were blocked and all their skills were lost. It was regarded as a magic weapon distributed by the imperial court to masters. It has never been spread to the world. If someone was hit by the Soul-Leaving Needle, it would definitely be the imperial weapon.
Moving hands.
But Ye Jingtang has received soul-leaving needles before, and knows how strict the control is. How many needles are used and where they are used must be reported in detail, and the remaining ones must be handed over. There is no such thing as not recording or using it on unknown people.
reason.
Ye Jingtang thought about it carefully, shook his head and said:
"The Hei Yamen had not been separated at that time. It is possible that the files were with the secret guards and not in the Hei Yamen's case library. I will go back and check this matter."
Xue Baijin snorted softly: "What can you do if you find out who it is? Are you going to use public service for personal gain, kill the heroes who killed the rebels, and avenge me, the Pingtian Sect?"
"Well, I went to investigate. I just wanted to find out the whole story so that the imperial court would not be blamed for this inexplicably."
As Ye Jingtang spoke, his hand naturally placed on Bing Tuo Tuo's lower back:
"You are not on duty in the court, so you don't know the rules in the yamen. The court is not a river and lake. The rules are very strict. If you kill a thief and don't report it, it is equivalent to dereliction of duty when you go out and do nothing. If you are found out afterwards, you may be punished for not reporting it.
Suspected of killing innocent people indiscriminately, subject to scrutiny from superiors. So as long as someone dies, the yamen must have detailed records..."
Xue Baijin noticed that Ye Jingtang was groping around, and his eyes were a bit cold. However, when he saw Ye Jingtang looking at the sea and frowning, it seemed that he did it subconsciously, not deliberately frivolous, so after thinking about it, he let it go and asked:
"You have killed at least two to three hundred people, and everyone has a record?"
"Those with names and surnames must naturally be checked off the list of fugitives. As for unknown persons, although there are no detailed records, such people do not need to use the soul-living needle. The soul-living needle is used to seal the Qi veins, and there are no governors or governors below the grandmaster.
Tong, what can be sealed with one injection?"
While chatting in the Night Terror Hall, I felt that it felt good, so I squeezed it on the big moon, and my fingers fell into the elastic space.
?
Xue Baijin didn't want to cause trouble to Ye Jingtang, but Ye Jingtang was too pushy, so he said in a deep voice:
"Night Terror Hall!"
"oh."
Ye Jingtang looked like he had just reacted, quickly released his buttocks, and then started talking again:
"You have already learned five pictures. If nothing happens, you will be able to finish seven pictures today. I can also teach you the eighth picture, but you will definitely not be able to use it for the time being."
Now that Xue Baijin heard about cultivation, he felt a little restless, but there were only a few steps left. The sooner he could finish the training, the sooner he could be liberated. He did not resist at the moment, but asked:
"You can also ask Hua Qingzhi to practice the Taoist dual cultivation method, right?"
Ye Jingtang was very honest about this: "Of course you can. I practiced last night, but Qingzhi has no kung fu foundation. We both advance and retreat at the same time. If she is slower, I can't be faster."
"..."
Xue Baijin originally wanted to let Hua Qingzhi serve as a sparring partner for Ye Jingtang after learning it, but after hearing this, he could only give up the idea and asked;
"How long do you need to practice?"
Night Terror Hall thought about it:
"Master Xiang Han's realm is not high enough. Even if he understands the Dragon Singing Diagram, there will definitely be flaws. I'm not worried about it. The main reason is that Fengguan City is more troublesome.
"I did underestimate Fengguan City in the past. If both sides are 'Lianxu Hedao' and have the same level, then whoever is more powerful will be stronger.
"Fengguancheng has enough skills. Even if I practice here for one day, it can be compared to one month outside. If I want to be able to compete with Fengguancheng, I have to practice hard here for three years, and I still lack a hundred years of experience. So I
At least it will take five years of practice before you dare to come to the door to give gestures..."
"Five years?!"
When Xue Baijin heard this, her expression changed. After all, she had been cultivating here for five years, and she probably had to hold three or four babies. How could she bear this?
"Don't even think about it. If you really want to stay this long, I can just go out and bring the empress over to you."
Ye Jingtang still had to go back to do business. How could he really stay on the island for five years? He shook his head and smiled:
"I'm just talking about the actual situation, and I didn't say that I want you to practice with me for five years. But if you really practice on this island for five years, your strength should be about the same as mine when you get out, and you can compete with Fengguan City..."
Xue Baijin really hoped to become the best in the world, but he had no reason to sleep with a man for five years. He did not respond to this, but after thinking about it, he frowned and said:
"The master at Beiyunbian seems to have been living in seclusion here. He has been here for a long time..."
Ye Jingtang said in this regard: "If he had comprehended a profound skill comparable to that of Minglong Tu and practiced here for more than ten or twenty years, his skill would indeed be stronger than that in Fengguan City.
"But if he wants to defeat Fengguan City, he must first step into the 'Refining the Void'. If he does not have such a high talent and only touched seven or eight pictures, his realm will be crushed. No matter how strong his skills are, he will not be able to stop him.
A slap in the face of 'nine-nine returns to one'."
Xue Baijin nodded thoughtfully, then thought about it and said:
"Then what if he has developed profound skills and found all nine pictures?"
"I have found all nine pictures, but the technique does not fit with myself, and there is no way to 'integrate' with the Tao. And if Fengguan City merges with the Tao, it will be equivalent to becoming one with the surrounding heaven and earth. Mortals are just caged birds between heaven and earth.
, how can we fight with heaven and earth?"
"oh."
"But if you find all nine pictures, and your own skills are several times better than Fengguan City, to the point where you can kill immortals with your bare hands without relying on the power of heaven and earth, you can still fight. But this requirement is too outrageous, Fengguan
Cheng has been practicing for two years, and he wants to make up for the talent gap between them, so the training time is doubled or tripled, and..."
Ye Jingtang also made a blind analysis based on his own insights. When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said:
"And they have to use magic weapons. Both sides have practiced to this point. Ordinary weapons will break at a touch, and they can't break the defense. They can only rely on fists and feet to attack. If you hold the Emperor's Sword and ignore the protection, you will definitely take a big advantage."
Xue Baijin blinked and understood at this time:
"No wonder Long Zhengqing secretly forged such a sword...Long Zhengqing is the Green Bandit, and Master Beiyunbian should be the leader behind the Green Bandit..."
What Ye Jingtang said was just his own guess. He didn't know the exact situation, and he couldn't be sure that this was the case. After Bingtuotuo finished eating, he raised his arms and hugged his lower back:
"The water in this river and lake seems to be deeper than we thought, so we should seize the time to practice."
"..."
Xue Baijin felt a sense of betrayal in his heart, but could not refuse. At this time, he could only sigh silently. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said:
"I'll take a shower, you can find a place by yourself, and go back early after practice."
Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't say much. He got up and went to the woods behind, found a grassy area with a secluded environment, and let the fed and drunk birds go outside to relax.
After finishing the work, Ye Jingtang returned to the reef again. He could hear the sound of water splashing below the reef, and clothes were placed on the reef, but no one could be seen.
Wow~
Ye Jingtang waited outside the reef, but finally couldn't hold it back and quietly came to the edge of the reef and looked down.
The side of the reef is a groove between two rocks, about two people wide, with waist-deep clear water at the bottom. At this time, the sun just penetrates from above.
Bing Tuotuo, who had already unbuttoned her robe, was standing in the water, holding the water to her chest. Her long black hair was tied behind her head, and her perfectly shaped shoulders and back were exposed in the sun, making her look full of water.
The heavy inverted sea bowl and the perfect white moon under the waistline are also visible. She looks like a mature and intellectual female teacher...
Xue Baijin was not blind. When he noticed the prying eyes from above, his eyes immediately turned cold:
"Night Terror Hall, if you do this again..."
Thump~
Water splashes everywhere.
Ye Jingtang jumped down from the rock, landed in front of Bing Tuo Tuo, and said softly:
"This place is more secluded than the woods. I was smelling like smoke when I was cooking just now, so I just happened to take a shower."
?
Xue Baijinrao had been repaired many times. When he found Ye Jingtang falling directly in front of him, his face inevitably turned red. Unable to bear it, he raised his hand and twisted Ye Jingtang's wrist and pressed him on the rock:
"Come, let me wash it for you!"
"Huh? Hiss~..."
Just as Ye Jingtang wanted Bing Tuo Tuo to relax, he pressed his whole body against the rock. Then his robe was torn open, and a not-so-gentle jade hand rolled up the cloth to rub his back.
Chachacha——
Although Ye Jingtang has golden scales and jade bones, he is not insensitive to touch. Just after rubbing it twice, his back felt hot and numb, and he quickly begged for mercy:
"Be gentle, gentle, this is not killing New Year pigs to remove their hair..."
Xue Baijin stood naked in the water. With the movement, his ball trembled. When he saw Ye Jingtang giving in, the shame and anger in his eyes disappeared a little, and he continued to press Ye Jingtang and rub his back:
"You have to take a bath yourself. How can you wipe it clean without exerting force? Don't move!"
"well……"
Chachacha...
Ye Jingtang looked helpless, but after all, it was a mandarin duck bath, and in the end he did not resist, and seriously enjoyed Tuo Tuo's service.
After Xue Baijin rubbed it for a while, seeing that Ye Jingtang not only gave up struggling, but even started enjoying it, he naturally lost interest and threw his robe into the water:
"Wash it yourself."
After saying that, I wanted to fly up.
But unfortunately, as soon as she jumped out of the water, Ye Jingtang, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her ankle and pulled her down in the air.
Xue Baijin frowned, and immediately wanted to step on Ye Jingtang's shoulder, but found that the pervert was pretending to pick her up, deliberately taking half a step forward to block the position, so that she could stand firmly on his shoulder from the front, and here he is
A standard invincible scissor kick.
Boom~
?!
Xue Baijin was caught off guard and sat on Ye Jingtang's face, her whole body was agitated, and she wanted to leave quickly, but the strange touch was transmitted to her mind first, causing her to twist and break free:
"Night Terror Hall, you... ugh... shut up!"
Ye Jingtang didn't dare to offend Bing Tuo Tuo, so he just tasted it briefly. He put Bing Tuo Tuo down and faced each other, and said seriously:
"Okay, let's start practicing. Relax. If you can't remember, we'll start over from the beginning. I'll start."
After saying that, he put his hands on his waist and abdomen and began to guide his breath.
?
Xue Baijin's face turned red when she was kissed, and she raised her hand to continue cleaning up Ye Jingtang. However, as Ye Jingtang really started to teach her skills, she was afraid that she would not remember and waste her time, so she could only grit her teeth and let go of her body and mind to pursue the feeling that was wandering in her body.
breath……
Wow wow~
…
——
The island is isolated from the world, and apart from the big trees that block out the sky and sun, there are no other special scenery.
After finishing the meal, Qiu Tianhe and Xuanyuan Tiangang showed sword skills on the mast, while Alan took the little girl and trotted on the beach to bask in the sun.
Although Zhe Yunli was curious about the noise he heard last night, it was still daytime after all, so it was not easy to study it. Therefore, after eating, he climbed up to the big tree and meditated in the love nest built by the Night Terror Hall.
Hua Qingzhi has trouble walking around, so she also meditates and practices in the house to help her legs recover as soon as possible.
But Hua Qingzhi has no foundation in martial arts, so it is difficult for her to be absorbed in concentration all day long. For this reason, she meditates for a while, then picks up the idle books in the Night Jing Hall and reads them, secretly thinking about ways to stimulate the fierce woman at night, and then continues to meditate.
So back and forth.
Compared with the peaceful and peaceful island, the outside world is obviously much more chaotic.
Ye Jingtang overturned the table in Shuofeng City, seemingly killing only one person in Beiyunbian, but it had a huge impact on the situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Shuofeng City is the main city of the Snowfield, and its influence covers the entire Snowfield and even the Northern Wasteland. Ye Jingtang defeated Beiyunbian in a battle. After those harsh words were spoken above the city lord's palace, Beiliang became obviously panic-stricken. No matter what the Beiliang court did,
I think that Jianghu sects must not dare to be hostile to Ye Jingtang anymore.
Masters from all over the world will not accept the imperial call at this time as long as they have no brains. The once powerful leaders began to get sick and injured collectively or retire directly after leaving Shuofeng City.
However, Ye Jingtang first made a big fuss in Yanjing, and then went in single-handedly, killing Beiyun Bian in the rear area of Beiliang. The imperial court lost troops and generals one after another, but did nothing, which also had a great impact on the morale of the people.
In the eyes of the people, Beiliang has become a helpless little girl. The barbarian Ye Jingtang can come in and out at will, and can't even bite him. What kind of war is this?
Compared with Beiliang, the morale of the Southern Dynasties has naturally increased.
First, the frontier army won a series of battles unstoppably, and the Ye Jingtang swept across the Northern Liang without a single general. No matter the court or the people, they had nothing to say about the performance of the court. The empress's prestige was directly raised to the top, and there were even countless
Jianghu people went to Liangzhou, wanting to contribute to the imperial court.
Take the Hongshan Gang for example. The leaders of the major villages, including Jiang Zahu, all ran to the border. The purpose was naturally to take the opportunity to go ashore and rely on their military exploits to become a famous and upright sect. The sects from other states also had to climb to the top of the Night Terror Hall.
To show their loyalty, they more or less sent their own people to serve the country, and more and more people from the Jianghu community who wanted to make contributions came.
Although Jianghu people are not very good at arranging troops, they are extremely capable in individual combat. As long as they are willing to serve the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally accept anyone who comes. In just over a month, they managed to pull together a group in Liangzhou.
The Longhu camp supported more than a thousand people.
Because there were too many martial arts masters joining the army, and the army did not have so many errands, the imperial court was forced to have the luxury of using a grandmaster to lead the team, serving as a scout in the wilderness to catch tongues, catching arrows with bare hands, cutting off horses with one sword, and the horses could not catch up, so they dismounted and chased with their legs.
, which stunned the scouts of the Xihai Protectorate.
The Xihai Protectorate currently has no experts available at all, and even Beiliang has difficulty gathering such a team. So much so that the intelligence network in Xihai has become almost one-way and transparent. Scouts will die when they leave the city. King Zuo Xian can't even tell where the main force of the Southern Dynasty is.
Not sure, so we can only stick to the city.
Of course, the current situation is not entirely favorable. After all, after the battle in Shuofeng City, a key figure related to the national destiny of the two dynasties suddenly disappeared.
As August approaches, the snowfields quickly turn cold after several rains, and light snow has fallen in advance in the far north.
Snow was originally part of the Northern Wilderness. Leaving the livable zone to the south, it was a no-man's land where the snow never melted all year round. Although wandering rangers occasionally set foot there, usually not a single person was seen for hundreds of miles.
And just as the ice and snow gradually spread to the south, two fast horses galloped out from the depths of the northern wilderness and headed towards the snowfield.
Both horses are well-bred horses. The leader is a slender woman wearing a white dress, a curtain hat on her head, and a red wine gourd hanging from her waist.
The woman at the back was wearing a red and yellow skirt, and a leather armor on the back of her waist, with a medicine bottle hanging on it. After running for a long time, her face was already a little tired, and she was saying along the way:
"You can be considered as running away. Witch, how did you find this road?"
Master Xuanji was riding on the horse. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the snowfield, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:
"I've been traveling on this road for ten years. Although I didn't find the Singing Dragon Picture, I visited a lot of places. This road bypasses the Sunset Peaks and crosses the uninhabited land of the Northern Wasteland. There are no natural obstacles blocking the road halfway. It only takes me 20 days.
The imperial army will descend from the sky with its magic soldiers, marching southward from the snowy plains, directly taking the inner organs of Beiliang..."
Fan Qinghe and Xuanji are both very familiar with Beiliang. They came here because they heard that Ye Jingtang disappeared after the battle, so they came to take care of him to avoid any accidents. They also explored the route and prepared for the subsequent use of troops by the imperial court.
Hearing what Master Xuanji said, Fan Qinghe frowned and said:
"Before Jiazi, Beiliang made a surprise attack on Qianchibu's hometown. There were 7,000 people when they set out. When they arrived, there were only more than 3,000 people left. After burning and killing them, only a few hundred people were left after running back. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out.
Most people are left behind and are starving to death and freezing to death. Are we going to fight like this?"
Master Xuanji naturally knew the allusion to Beiliang's surprise attack on the Qianchi tribe, so he said:
"Now generations have changed. There was no 'food elixir' in Beiliang before Jiazi. Seven thousand people suddenly attacked the Qianchi tribe, which was equivalent to dead soldiers. It was unexpected to reach Tianya Peak, and it was impossible to come back alive.
"Now, we only need to bring a bag of food pills per person to ensure that the soldiers are not hungry, travel lightly and have enough to eat every day, and have thick and warm winter clothes, so that it is not a problem for the soldiers to go to the permanently frozen lake to fight.
.
"Beiliang is not heavily guarded in the north. As long as we capture Cangshan Mansion from the rear, we can retreat to cover the army's assembly across Tianlang Lake, and advance directly to Yanjing..."
Fan Qinghe nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this style of play would probably make Beiliang drink a pot, but she had no intention of paying attention to this, and instead asked:
"After Ye Jingtang went after Beiyun Bian, he disappeared. Is there anything going on?"
Master Xuanji was actually quite worried about the safety of his good disciple. However, the Night Jingtang even beat Beiyun to beg for mercy. The possibility of capsizing in the ditch afterwards was extremely low, so he still said:
"No, he should be hiding somewhere to recuperate. Let's find him first. Before the army comes to the border, he needs to continue to cause trouble and attract Beiliang's attention..."
Fan Qinghe didn't know the current location of Night Terror Hall, so he could only set off with the demon girl towards Shuofeng City...
