I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 161
Qi Mansion, the backyard.

Gao Jie clasped his hands in front of him, and looked at the two flashing figures in the courtyard expressionlessly.

"Brother Gao Jie, who do you think is better, my son or Miss Zhao's?" Qingqing who was holding tea and snacks asked curiously.

The two people fighting in the courtyard were Qi Xuan and Zhao Lingyue.

At this time, Qi Xuan stretched out his single palm, and the moment he touched Zhao Lingyue, his five fingers instantly bent and turned into claws.

Sa——

Zhao Lingyue with a smile on her mouth dissipated like a cloud of smoke.

Qi Xuan's face did not change, but the corner of his eye was already concentrated behind him.

Ding!
Just when Zhao Lingyue's "Jumang" was about to touch her back, Qi Xuan turned around abruptly and blocked the gleaming green light's sword edge with his palm.

One blow failed, Zhao Lingyue was not greedy, she stepped back step by step.

And Qi Xuan smiled slightly, and immediately a huge claw shadow made of white frost emerged from his right palm, and then attacked Zhao Lingyue.

Seeing the five giant qi energies that turned into five fingers attacking her face, the relaxed expression on Zhao Lingyue's face disappeared instantly, and then she quickly raised the sword, and the green light on the sword enveloped her whole body in an instant.

boom--

The moment Baishuang's Qi Jin touched the Qingmang Sword Gang, there was a muffled sound like thunder.

Zhao Lingyue's beautiful figure emerged from the green light, and she has successfully passed through the huge claw shadow made of white frost.

As if feeling that she had succeeded in receiving Qi Xuan's move, a smile slowly emerged from the corner of Zhao Lingyue's mouth.

However, looking at Qi Xuan who was still smiling not far away, Zhao Lingyue suddenly felt something was wrong.

call--

"not good!"

When she felt the strong wind whistling behind her, Zhao Lingyue's complexion changed drastically. She turned her head hastily, and saw that the huge claw shadow that was supposed to go away and dissipate came back at a faster speed.

It's too late to dodge!

Whoosh!
As the claw shadow approached Qi Xuan's protruding right hand, its size became smaller and smaller until it was exactly the same as Qi Xuan's right hand and finally merged into Qi Xuan's right hand.

After the claw shadow was recovered, Qi Xuan couldn't help smiling and said, "How about my move?"

Zhao Lingyue stood on the spot with her brows furrowed. Just when she was about to pass by, the huge claw shadow suddenly deviated from the direction and passed by her.

After hearing what Qi Xuan said, Zhao Lingyue's brows and eyes eased, a green glow flashed in her hand, and the "Jumang" divine sword instantly returned to her sleeve, and then she walked slowly to Qi Xuan's side, and asked with a smile: "What did you use just now?" Is it Yinfengclaw?"

Qi Xuan nodded, and replied: "It's just my improvement."

With Qi Xuan's martial arts practice today, even the most superficial martial arts performed by him will become extraordinary.

Even facing the vast majority of people in the arena, Qi Xuan didn't need moves, he could just use his internal force to crush him.

Of course, this does not mean that Qi Xuan has no achievements in martial arts.

On the contrary, with the blessing of internal strength cultivation, Qi Xuan's understanding and application of various martial arts has reached an extremely high level.

Just like the Yinfeng Claw that was used just now,
The original Yinfeng Claw was only filled with Taiyin Qi in his hands.

And Qi Xuan's tyrannical internal strength cultivation can not only support him to use the condensed true energy as a claw shape, but also can be retracted and retracted freely from a certain distance, just like his own hands.

"It's just that after the improvement, it seems a little inappropriate to call it Yinfeng Claw." Qi Xuan thought for a while, and then smiled, "Why don't we call it Yinfeng Claw."

"You are really a monster!" Looking at Qi Xuan, Zhao Lingyue couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "You have not activated the blood of the Li family, but you can practice martial arts to such a degree."

"Your martial arts are also good. If you use your Zhao family's Sky Demon...Kurong Gong, Tang Tianque should be the only one who can stabilize you in this martial arts conference." Qi Xuanhui boasted.

"It's not that simple." Zhao Lingyue shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "The blood in our bodies is a foreign object after all. Some of the top masters in the Jianghu who really rely on their own talents to cultivate, their understanding of martial arts is far beyond what I can match. .”

Qi Xuan knew that what Zhao Lingyue was talking about was none other than Gu Tianci from the Zhenwu Sect.

Zhao Lingyue had expressed her fear of Qi Xuan in front of Qi Xuan before.

"My lord, Miss Zhao." Seeing that the two people who were fighting stopped, Qingqing hurried up and served them tea.

After Zhao Lingyue took the water from Qingqing, Qingqing hesitated again and again but couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Miss Zhao, who won just now, you or my son?"

Although Qingqing has also learned martial arts for a while, she is still just getting started. The two of them stopped fighting suddenly just now, and with Qingqing's small head, she can't tell who will win and who will lose.

And Gao Jie has always been taciturn in front of others.

"Your son won." Zhao Lingyue reached out and squeezed Qingqing's soft face, then smiled.

"Young master is so powerful!" Qingqing's eyes lit up.

Qi Xuan looked at the two of them upon hearing this, and then smiled.

For most ordinary people, although they often hear and see, but for them, the real rivers and lakes are a completely strange world.

……

The Jianghu atmosphere in Ning'an Mansion can be regarded as strong.

But the sudden influx of so many martial arts people still brought a lot of trouble to the local area.

The most direct thing is... the number of cases has risen rapidly.

Zhang Hu, who is the head arrester of Ning'an Prefecture, expressed trembling.

Every time he received a report, he prayed in his heart that he would meet someone who was easy to talk to.

Fortunately, the Department of Pursuing Murders and Thieves is there to assist.

A beautiful image suddenly appeared in Zhang Hu's mind.

"I hope this Du Shen catcher won't cause more trouble!"

……

When eating at night, Qi Xuan found an old acquaintance on the table.

Du Qianshan.

My first martial arts master in this world.

"Why did Master Du come to Ning'an Mansion?" Qi Xuan smiled and saluted him.

Du Qianshan, who was originally sitting next to Qi Yan, looked at Qi Xuan with complicated eyes. After he saluted, he stood up straight with a "teng", and then mechanically clasped his fists back to salute.

Qi Yan obviously didn't notice the awkward atmosphere between the two, and said with a smile: "You, Master Du, accompanied Caiwei to take up the post. You don't know that Caiwei has already been promoted to the silver-clothed god arrest."

So...it was Du Caiwei who took Lin Xiao's place.

A valiant female swordsman in red clothes suddenly appeared in Qi Xuan's mind, and he immediately smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, where is Miss Caiwei?"

"She ran into a case when she first arrived, so she asked Junior Brother Qi and me to make an apology. After the case is over, Caiwei will come to make amends in person." Du Qianshan replied in a deep voice.

"They're both my own children, why bother talking about this!" Qi Yan was very happy about Du Qianshan's arrival. The two of them studied in the academy when they were teenagers, and they were true classmates.

……

During the meal, Du Qianshan secretly looked at Qi Xuan several times, but he did not escape Qi Xuan's eyes.

Speaking of which, Du Qianshan can also be regarded as Qi Xuan's martial arts enlightenment teacher.

But with the death of Shangguan Xun and the revelation of Qi Xuan's martial arts, the relationship between the two, who were not much master and apprentice, faded away.

Since Shangguanxun's death, Du Qianshan devoted himself to studying martial arts in the academy.

He didn't hurry down the mountain until he heard that his niece Du Caiwei had been promoted to the rank of God of Silver Clothes and was sent to Ning'an Mansion, and came to Ning'an Mansion with Du Caiwei.

Regardless of the upcoming martial arts conference.

Ning'an Mansion itself is the center of vicissitudes.

After the death of the former silver-clothed god arrester Lin Xiao who was stationed here, his identity was officially exposed, and he turned out to be a disciple of Master Guangning.

How could Du Qianshan not be worried that even Daoist Guangning's disciples lost their lives.

It was just persuasion to no avail, so Du Qianshan could only follow Du Caiwei to Ning'an Mansion, thinking that he could help a little.

After coming to Ning'an Mansion, Du Qianshan hesitated and decided to come to Qi Mansion.

Besides Qi Yan, an old friend, there was another reason why he had to come.

He also knew something about Ning'an Mansion from the elders of the academy.

There are many forces gathered here, but there is only one person that no one dares to mess with.

That is Qi Xuan!
If he can help her, Caiwei should be safe.

……

Qi Xuan had roughly guessed Qian Shan's reason for coming, Du Caiwei, a fledgling rookie, was actually sent to Ning'an Mansion, the reason for this was more or less related to himself.

It is not appropriate to send anyone, it is better to send someone who is closely related to Qi Xuan, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

It seems that the imperial court still has not given up on wooing itself.

But... the conditions that Zhao Lingyue raised last time should have been passed on to the emperor through Shen Ke's mouth, why there is still no response at all.

Could it be that they are waiting for the result of the martial arts conference.

Qi Xuan thought of something, and after eating, he asked someone to find Gao Jie.

"Is Zhou Jin still in Ning'an Mansion?"

Zhou Jin...Gao Jie pondered for a moment and instantly remembered who the young master mentioned was the person, and immediately replied: "After Chongwu County Lord came to Ning'an Mansion, Zhou Jin returned to Beijing."

As for why Li Bin, Duke of Chongwu County, was mentioned.

That's because the first thing Li Bin did after he arrived was to find Zhou Jin, and then he gave him a few big mouths, and it was still in front of many people.

Zhou Jin set off for the capital on the same day.

Qi Xuan said with a smile: "It seems...it is Li Bin who replaced Zhou Jin and discussed cooperation with Tang Tianque on behalf of the imperial court."

Naturally, Shen Ke's handwriting was indispensable behind this matter.

Zhou Jin's martial arts are mediocre, and he flatters his superiors and bullies his inferiors. He talked with Tang Tianque...

Tang Tianque didn't have Qi Xuan's good temper and kindness.

"What conditions will the imperial court give Tang Tianque?" Qi Xuan muttered to himself immediately.

……

In the near future, a yamen servant came and Du Qianshan followed him.

Soon, Qi Xuan knew the reason why Du Qianshan left in a hurry.

Someone is making trouble in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The troublemaker was an acquaintance.

The former number one swordsman in Qingzhou, Qin Yan.

After he was rejected when he invited Jinhua to accompany him for a drink, he ignored the obstruction and tried to break into the small building in the middle of the lake in the backyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is Jinhua's residence.

The reason why he added "Once" before the name of the number one swordsman in Qingzhou.

It was because Qin Yan was not only defeated by Wei Yuanshen before.

Moreover, after the Yingxue girl from Nine Xuanzong came to Ning'an Mansion, there were rumors that someone saw Qin Yan kneeling in front of Yingxue begging for mercy in the outskirts of Ning'an Mansion.

Such a good man, he knelt down in front of a woman and begged for mercy.

Even though everyone knew that Yingxue's martial arts were extraordinary, most martial arts people's attitude towards Qin Yan changed from admiration to disdain.

A generation of famous kendo masters lost their reputation.

However, Qin Yan didn't seem to take it seriously, he still stayed in Ning'an Mansion, and said that he must participate in this martial arts conference.

But Qin Yan didn't have the first post in his hand.

Except for the first post in the hands of the seven sects and Tang Tianque, the remaining eight first posts all fell into Zhao Lingyue's hands.

And through Zhao Lingyue's hands, Ouyang Ting, Meng Xuance, Shen Zhou, Lu Yun and Xue Zhi all took away the first post.

Zhao Lingyue still has three first posts in her hand.

In addition, Meng Xuance died in Zhao Lingyue's hands, so Zhao Lingyue still has four first posts in her hand.

According to the rules of the first floor, the martial arts conference recognizes posts but not people.

Within one month before the opening, hand in the first post to the first floor, and you will get a place to participate.

At the same time, the first floor will announce the whereabouts of all the first posts.

Sixteen first posts were sent out on the first floor of this martial arts conference, and nine of them have been recovered, namely:
Pu Shan, who represented Shaolin,
Ji Shentong, who represented the Academy,
Yingxue attended on behalf of Jiuxuanzong
Xuan Zhen, who attended on behalf of King Kong Temple,

Tang Tianque, who snatched the famous post from Mo Dacheng of Xuanxiao Sword School,

Ouyang Ting of the Ouyang family,
The boat of the Shen family,
Lu Yun of the White Horse Gang,

Xue Zhi from the Changxing Gang,

……

These nine people personally brought the first post to the first floor.

There are still seven first posts left.

True Martial Arts Gu Tianci,

Nie Yuanzhen, a mysterious businessman from the Western Regions.

Wei Yuanshen of the Chunyang School.

The last four are all in Zhao Lingyue's hands.

No one would dare to pay attention to Gu Tianci and Wei Yuanshen.

Then only Nie Yuanzhen and Zhao Lingyue were left.

Qianhu Villa is famous, and most people would not dare to mess around, but... Zhao Lingyue has four cards in her hand!
Especially recently it has been reported that the old owner Zhao Luo has passed away, and Zhao Wuji will take over the position of owner.

As a result, many people have thought about it.

……

Zhao Wuji, who officially took over as the owner of the village, has been enjoying a lot of glory recently.

There was an endless stream of people from all walks of life who came to visit, many of whom were quite prestigious experts in the martial arts world.

For a while, the limelight of Qianhu Villa even faintly overshadowed the first floor.

This made Zhao Wuji suddenly feel elated.

But he also understood why these people came here.

But... the first post is in Zhao Lingyue's hands.

Let alone dominating, he didn't even dare to ask!
This also made him feel sad and happy.

He was naturally happy because he not only inherited Qianhu Villa, but also let his fellow martial arts congratulate him, which greatly improved his face.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji is also worried that once those people know that they cannot decide the ownership of the first post...

……

The Zhao family never held a funeral when they passed away.

After all, there are no bones left behind.

Zhao Lingyue just set up a spiritual tablet in the ancestral hall in the village, and lit a few sticks of incense to finish her grandfather's death.

It's so simple, it also made Qi Xuan more knowledgeable.

Thinking that he was his fiancée's grandfather after all, Qi Xuan took the initiative to step forward and respectfully salute the spirit tablet.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingyue just said indifferently: "When a person dies, there is no need to be formal."

The two walked out of the Zhao family ancestral hall.

What caught Qi Xuan's eyes was a sparkling lake.

This is his first visit to Qianhu Villa.

It is worthy of the name of Thousand Lakes.

All the large and small courtyards in the village are built around the lake.

Looking around, the ghostly shadows stretching to the distant mountains are all within the range of Qianhu Villa.

Thousands of lakes may be exaggerated, but hundreds should be fine.

"What do you plan to do with the remaining four first posts?" Qi Xuan asked.

"Do you want to participate?" Zhao Lingyue asked.

Qi Xuan shook his head.

Since the final reward cannot be used by oneself, why bother.

He was really curious about what would happen to the person who got the sword in the end.

"I will keep one, and the remaining three will be put up for auction, and the one with the highest price will get it." Zhao Lingyue smiled sweetly, "The people in your teacher's school are far-sighted, and they came up with such a wonderful method early on."
