Li Xin'an couldn't help but remember the origin of Penglai Pavilion - Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty went to sea to visit immortals, and the fleet set out from Penglai Island. After the fleet left, the soldiers and craftsmen there stayed there, hoping that in his lifetime, he could see the fleet returning to the Central Plains again.
Unfortunately, a few years after Xu Fu went to sea, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and the people on Penglai Island could no longer return to their hometown, so they took root here, got married and had children, passed on from generation to generation, and gradually evolved into the Penglai Pavilion today, and with the power of the sect, they protected the East China Sea.
For hundreds of years, Penglai Pavilion has flattened pirates, opened canals, and set up shipping. Penglai Pavilion is respected in the hearts of both the court and the people in the Jianghu. If Murong Villa had not emerged, I am afraid that the one who holds the bull in the Jianghu would have been Penglai Pavilion after the Tang Sect retreated.
Of course, Li Xin'an's suspicion of such a sect and such people will not be suspicious of his pride.
"Xinan is ashamed." Li Xinan sighed and bowed deeply to Han Jiqing, "Senior Brother Han, I am really ashamed to judge a gentleman's abdomen with the heart of a villain."
Han Jiqing bowed his fists and returned the greeting: "Young Master Li, please be polite. In the future, we will be companions and we still need to take care of each other."
After the people from Penglai Pavilion were introduced, it was Tianshan Sect’s turn.
Li Xin'an naturally knew the people brought by Xu Hanying.
"Mr. Li."
A familiar voice sounded in Li Xin'an's ears. Li Xin'an turned his head to look, but Song Shuping walked out of the room with a warm face.
"Senior Brother Song." Li Xinan said in surprise, "Long time no see."
Song Shuping smiled and said, "I just said that you and I will have a chance to meet one day."
"I guessed that it was you who came." Li Xin'an said, "But no one left behind in the Tianshan Sect."
"The second senior brother is here." Song Shuping said, "You didn't communicate much with him at that time, so I don't know how powerful the second senior brother is."
After greeting everyone, they met one by one, Li Xin'an and Murong Bai walked out of Tianji Tower.
"Gu Yi from Qilin Academy invited me to have a drink tomorrow. What do you think?" Li Xin'an asked.
Murong Bai said, "It's not just you, everyone who wants to go north to assassinate An Lushan this time has been invited by him."
"It's good to know each other and get to know each other well, and it will be much more convenient to act in the future."
Murong Bai stopped and looked at Li Xin'an with a doubtful look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Li Xinan asked with a frown.
"Brother Li, do you think this is really good?"
Murong Bai said in a deep voice: "This trip to the three towns will be a life of death. If we go there this time, we don't know how many people can survive. Almost all the elite disciples of each sect. If they all die in this operation, it will be a big blow to the world."
Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Bai Mutou, do you know what's wrong with you?"
"What?" Murong Bai was stunned.
"You are too high in status and think too much, so you are always timid in doing things and consider the future."
Li Xinan whispered: "But this time, if An Lushan does not die, there will be no way out in the world."
"In other words, you don't want the future of the Jianghu to die in the Three Towns, but if you really want to do it, the first one you shouldn't go is you, Murong Bai."
"But, would you not go?"
Murong Bai slowly lowered his head: "I have to go, it's my responsibility."
"This is not your responsibility." Li Xin'an corrected him, "This is the responsibility of every conscientious Tang Dynasty man."
"Don't always think that you are a hero. The world cannot be carried by one or two people, and you can collapse by one or two people. Throughout history, when the rebellion of traitors, aren't it all people like you and me who are rushing to kill? We should be happy with their choice, rather than rejecting it because of a saying that you want them to live."
"……I see."
Murong Bai said, "I will also go to the appointment tomorrow. Brother Xiao and the others, should I go together?"
"Of course we have to go together." Lee
Xinan smiled and said, "That's my family after all, and it's my own family. If you show off, you must let others show up."
"Besides, tomorrow is definitely not just drinking. All the people present are on the rookie list, and there is a competition. Brother Xiao and the others have been bored for several days. Why don't they let them move?"
Murong Bai nodded and said, "It's a pity that Brother Xiao doesn't want to participate in this martial arts review. Otherwise, Gu Yi from Qilin Academy and Han Jiqing from Penglai Pavilion will not be his opponents. He can be the fourth or fifth place in the rookie list."
"Then me?" Li Xinan was a little curious, "Which is probably the first one I am?"
"Brother Xiao," Murong Bai said, "This is just your swordsmanship. If you use all the tricks and use all the hidden weapons and poisons, you might be the first."
"Haha, let's forget it if you defeat you." Li Xin'an rolled his eyes, "You're so first-rate, why should I beat you?"
"No, I have already explained to the people in Tianji Tower that I will not be the number one in the rookie list."
Li Xinan said in surprise: "Why?"
"You said too, I'm a first-class." Murong Bai said helplessly, "There are two conditions for participating in the rookie list. The first is that you are under thirty years old, and the second is that your cultivation level cannot exceed the first-class. For example, Senior Brother Song Shuping of Tianshan Sect and Senior Brother Zhao of Mengjiazhuang are both over thirty years old and reaching the first-class level, so they are not recorded on the rookie list."
"So that's the case." Li Xin'an said, "If it weren't for you, it would seem that the one in Luoyang White Horse Temple would be ranked first in the rookie list."
"White Horse Temple, do you know wisely..."
Murong Bai shook his head slightly, his expression extremely solemn.
Huishi is indeed not to be underestimated, but in Murong Bai's heart, the person who is qualified or even more qualified to be the first in the rookie list than him is not Huishi.
But the man named Wuxiang.
Li Xin'an walked in front of him, so he couldn't see Murong Bai's face, nor did he know what Murong Bai was thinking.
Murong Bai, who was in Chang'an and in a prosperous state, did not get any advantage at Wuxiang, and even had to look for a little inferior. At that time, Murong Bai and Wuxiang were still only second-rank.
"Now, that Wu Xiang should be a first-class person."
As an eagle under An Lushan, Murong Bai will sooner or later have another battle with Wu Xiang. When he thinks of this, Murong Bai can't help but feel a sense of fighting in his heart.
After looking at Li Xin'an's back, Murong Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Li."
"What's wrong?"
"Go to the back mountain and have another fight with me."
"What are you doing?" Li Xin'an frowned, "If your hands are itchy, don't look for me, save your energy and wait for me to save the situation tomorrow.
"It's for tomorrow." Murong Bai said without saying a word, and pulled Li Xin'an and walked back to the mountain.
"You haven't made a sword for a few days, and your sword technique will definitely become unfamiliar. Tomorrow, Gu Yi and the others will be able to cheer you up, and you can't show your timidity. Tonight, I will make you familiar with the sword moves."
Li Xinan was helpless, but he could only follow Murong Bai honestly. Because he also wanted to see what Murong Bai's true strength was after entering the first level. Moreover, he wanted to know what he was after being infused with internal strength by Murong De and Zhang Zifeng.
"Speak first, you can't let go of water. How many tricks you have."
Murong Bai chuckled and said slowly: "Okay."
That night, there seemed to be howling in the mountains and forests overshadowed Wu Ping's shouts of killing.
Shennongjia is not only one Tianji Building, but about one mile southeast of Tianji Building is the most prosperous place in Shennongjia.
This is a small town, with inns, restaurants, restaurants, academies, etc. However, due to the martial arts, people gathered near Tianji Building. There were not many people coming to this place with the most lifelike atmosphere.
But it is not entirely uninhabited. The female disciples of Xueyue Villa live here. Because of this reason, many romantic children want to come here to seek a romantic encounter, and even want to see the snow with their own eyes.
Of course, they didn’t have a good ending in the end.
Apart from the licentious sluts who are asking for pleasure, those who come here are all people who come to drink.
If there is no wine in the world, it cannot be called the world.
The largest restaurant here has always been full, but today, the restaurant shopkeeper cleared the venue, and the people who came to drink were unhappy and returned without exception.
Someone asked the shopkeeper why he didn't do business when he opened the door, and some people directly took out a ingot of gold to buy the restaurant. In the crowd, some people rushed from afar and stood in front of them.
"Everyone, this restaurant was bought by me Gu Yi today." The young man from Qilin Academy said loudly, "I would like to sell me aside. After today, all your consumption here will be included in my Gu Yi's account!"
At first sight, he was the fourth on the rookie list, afraid of the power of Qilin Academy, and Gu Yi said so, just not drinking for a day, people just gave up.
The noisy crowd dispersed in groups of three or three. Gu Yi walked into the restaurant, where guests had already arrived.
"Senior Brother Han, it's really the first one you arrived at." Gu Yi greeted the man in a familiar way.
Han Jiqing from Penglai Pavilion said, "I am not the first one, Miss Feng Yao is."
"That's not counting, Miss Feng lives here." Gu Yi sat in front of Han Jiqing carelessly, "I said to Senior Brother Han, you didn't use all your strength in the competition the day before yesterday, right?"
Han Jiqing said lightly: "I used it, I haven't hit you."
Gu Yi was unmoved and curled his lips: "I know you didn't use all your strength, and I wasn't useless either. Actually, I've always been curious. If we both use all our strength, who will win or lose?"
Han Jiqing said: "Wu Wu is second, let alone fourth and fifth. If you don't be the first, then whoever loses will win will have no meaning at all."
"I'm not that persistent. The number one in the world is not what I pursue." Gu Yi said, "But I'm very interested in defeating you and winning you upright. Do you want to make another appointment, just you and me?"
"You shouldn't be interested in me." Han Jiqing said, "Don't you know what to do in your own game?"
Gu Yi smiled knowingly: "It seems that Senior Brother Han is also thinking about fighting."
"The closed disciple of the Tang Dynasty Sword Saint Pei Min." Han Jiqing's eyes were solemn, "As both swordsmen, it's hard for me not to have a fighting spirit."
"We are juniors. You and I have no chance to see the style of Sword Saint Pei Min. Just listen to the teacher's story, you can't understand anything at all." Gu Yi said, "Chang Yu, the head disciple of Sword Saint, joined the army again. If he does not participate in the affairs of the world, he will not see him taking action. The only successor in the world is Li Xin'an."
"It's one thing to respect him, and it's another thing to want to fight him."
Han Jiqing nodded and frowned, "I just hope Mr. Li doesn't think too much about this bad guy, who will be us?"
"Of course I'm here to join the game," Gu Yi said, "Don't mess with me. I won't give up this great opportunity. As for your hands itchy, go find Murong Bai." This chapter has been completed!
