heaven money

In the world of wind and cloud, there is no city like Wushuang.

Ever since the death of Dugu Yifang, the lord of Wushuang City, Wushuang City has been leaderless. If the Sword Saint had not been born and wanted to kill Xiongba, the leader of Tianxiahui with the Twenty-Three Swords, Wushuang City would probably have been directly occupied by Tianxiahui.

However, after that, the world changed dramatically. Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun and Xiong Ba became enemies, and various forces united to encircle and suppress the Tianxia Society.

What happened in the end, no one knows.

In Wushuang City, a talented young man appeared, carrying a huge sword box on his back. He used the skills of flying swords and Holy Spirit swordsmanship to save the hunted siblings Dugu Ming and Dugu Meng, and defeated the rest of the people in Wushuang City. He brought back the Wushuang Sword and became the young lord of Wushuang City, with Dugu Meng as the deputy lord.

The young man called himself Wushuang, and the sword box in his hand was also Wushuang. Named Wushuang, everyone thought that this was a hidden backup plan of the Wushuang City lineage to protect Wushuang City and the inheritance of the Dugu lineage.

What's more, since Dugu Meng and his sister had no objection, naturally no one else would have any objection either, let alone dare to have any objection!
The Holy Spirit Sword Technique is the symbol of the Sword Saint Dugu Jian. Combined with the young man's name and the Wushuang Sword Box, even though Dugu Meng and Dugu Ming have never seen Wushuang, they are certain that Wushuang should be the successor of the Sword Saint!
The appearance of Wushuang was naturally the work of Shang Yi. After killing Xiongba, he was targeted by Emperor Shitian. He fled for a while while waiting to return to the reincarnation space.

It was during this period of time that Shang Yi separated a part of his spiritual aura and merged it into the body of a young man who had just died. He also used secret means to hide a string of blood bodhi and a peerless sword box hastily made of fine gold and black iron in another safe place.

Originally, if there was time, Shang Yi would not have prepared so hastily. However, who could have thought that Indra, who clearly would not appear, would jump out, and under the special rules of the Fengyun world, his six magical powers of Buddhism were much less mysterious when used, and he did not even notice the danger.

Shang Yi knew in his heart that someone must have secretly influenced him, otherwise he would have given a mental warning in such a dangerous situation and would not have been in such a mess.

However, Shang Yi also had a backup plan, that is, he, named Wushuang, would use Wushuang City to control a force, and would naturally take revenge on Emperor Shitian!

"Is this the 'sandstorm'..."

Meng Qi, who had never experienced this before, tightened his thick monk robe. It was not because he was afraid of the cold, but he felt that after being covered with dust and gravel, he lost his elegant and graceful temperament and looked like an old shepherd.

Since leaving Shaolin in the early autumn, Xuan Bei had been traveling at a leisurely pace, leaving ample time for the monks who were going to other sects to explain the matter. Therefore, it was not until March that the master and his two disciples arrived at "Liushaji". However, March in the Western Regions was still as cold as winter.

Zhenhui opened her big eyes and looked curiously at the dust all around her, at the trees around her that were contaminated by the dust and looked decadent and dim, and at the camels with their bells swinging, and she exclaimed in surprise from time to time.

There were few people in the market. The people who lived here had already returned to their homes to avoid the strong wind and sand. Only the merchants, rangers, travelers, etc. were still walking towards the only inn in the market against the wind and sand.

"Brother, they look different from us!" Zhenhui finally couldn't help but ask.

Many pedestrians had high noses, deep eyes, and strange-colored hair and pupils, which were rarely seen among the people in the Central Plains. What's worse, some had double horns on their heads and eyes between their eyebrows, looking like monsters.

Meng Qi was overwhelmed by what he saw, but he didn't know how to answer Zhenhui.

"Amitabha, people are different in different places because of the water and soil they live in. Some people in the Western Regions are said to be descendants of gods and demons, so it is inevitable that they have strange appearances." Xuan Bei said in a calm voice.

The former refers to normal people from the Western Regions, and the latter refers to the "aliens" with double horns on their heads and eyes between their eyebrows.

"Descendants of gods and demons, do they have any special abilities?"

Meng Qi asked with great interest, could it be that the exchange chart for "Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation" also contains bloodline options such as "Descendants of Gods and Demons"?

At the same time, Meng Qi also thought that Shang Yi should be here in Liushaji, maybe they could meet in real life!
The wind and sand were blowing, but Xuan Bei was spotless. He smiled and said, "Of course there is."

As they were talking, the master and his two disciples had already arrived at the inn. It was a three-story house with an old appearance and traces of wind and sand, with the words "The First House in the Vast Sea" written on it.

As he stepped into the inn, the first thing Meng Qi saw was the counter, which was right next to the door and was cluttered with papers, brushes, account books, and other items.

The shopkeeper was a woman in a black dress, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed like a woman, with willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a beautiful face, like a blooming flower, full of femininity, attracting passers-by to look at her openly or furtively.

She supported her chin with her right hand and looked at the account book lazily. Her face, which looked even paler against the black dress, had a cold expression, as if everyone in the inn owed her a hundred taels of silver.

"Amitabha, boss, you can stay and eat at the hotel." As the relatively reliable disciple, Meng Qi went up and said. In fact, he really wanted to call her the boss lady directly, but unfortunately his master was watching from behind.

The woman in the black skirt didn't even raise her head and said nonchalantly, "Five taels of silver per night, meals are extra."

Fuck, you are robbing me! Meng Qi wanted to teach her what "customer is God" meant, but unfortunately his master was watching from behind.

Thinking that there was only this inn here and not even a dilapidated temple, and that it was a "monopoly industry", Meng Qi looked back at his master and saw him nod slightly, so he took out some silver from the package and put it on the counter: "Fifteen taels of silver, three rooms."

"There are only two rooms." The woman in the black dress still ignored him.

Meng Qi thought it was no problem. The master would share one room, and he and Zhenhui could squeeze in. They had been sleeping in the open a lot during this journey, so having two rooms was good enough. "Okay, here are ten taels of silver for two rooms."

He stretched out his hand to take back the five taels of silver.

The woman in the black skirt squinted at Meng Qi and said, "Based on the number of people."

The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched. He really wanted to teach her how to behave, but unfortunately his master was watching from behind.

After obtaining the master's consent, Meng Qi nodded and said, "Fifteen taels of silver for two rooms."

The woman in the black dress slowly gathered the silver and said without even raising her eyelids, "Go to the two unlocked rooms on the west side of the second floor."

Don't think that you are a big beauty, so I dare not hit you!It's a pity that Master is watching from behind... Meng Qi thought so resentfully for countless times, this is a subconscious thought that he developed along the way.

There were more than twenty tables in the lobby of the inn, all filled with people. Some were playing finger-guessing games and drinking, some were talking loudly, and some were whispering. It was very lively and bustling.

Some of these guests were wearing tight shorts and looked like martial artists; some had dusty faces but the details gave off an air of wealth; some wore Confucian robes and had the temperament of scholars even in the hustle and bustle; some had their heads wrapped and their bodies covered with long robes, dressed like "Shake" - the people of the Jin Dynasty called those who traveled through the deserts and Gobi of the Western Regions all year round to make a living "Shake", and there were many horse bandits and robbers among them.

Meng Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a black-robed boy of about sixteen or seventeen sitting at a table in the corner. Although his face was different, there was a black bird pattern on his black robe, which made Meng Qi recognize him as Shang Yi at a glance.

Xuan Bei saw Meng Qi's expression, glanced at Shang Yi and said:
"Have you seen this person?!"

Meng Qi's heart immediately tightened when he heard this, and he shook his head and said:
"Master, I have never seen him, but he doesn't look very old. Yet, he dares to come here alone!"

Xuan Bei's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:
"Yes, careful observation! According to the information in the temple, this young man has only appeared in the vast sea for about half a year. It seems that his name is Huaikong. He went to Yuhai a month ago. He traveled with Qinggong while killing horse bandits along the way. Those who opened the nine orifices have died in his hands.

And he suddenly returned to Liushaji some time ago and stayed here. Some people suspected that he was injured and was recuperating here, while others suspected that he was about to break through and was waiting for an opportunity here! "

"hiss!!!"

Meng Qi pretended to be shocked and took a deep breath, whispering:
"Then shouldn't he be on the human list..."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Xuan Bei understood what Meng Qi meant and said:
"His realm is probably still a little off. Although he has achieved the state of harmony between heaven and man, the people at the top of the Human Ranking have already achieved the state of harmony between heaven and man. They are only at the state of awakening because they have truly achieved the state of returning to the original nature and ascending to heaven in one step!

However, with such strength, he is at least in the top ten of the human rankings. It seems that the rankings will change when the next three rankings are released!"

Although the two did not control their voices, the strange thing was that people passing by seemed not to hear their voices.

"Five, five, five!"

"Haha, three sixes! Drink three bowls!"

"Damn it, why did I lose again!"

In such a noisy environment, a man who looked quite young took a sip of wine, frowned, slapped the bowl, stood up and shouted: "Boss, your wine is not strong enough, did you mix it with water?"

Suddenly, all sounds in the hall stopped. Those who were playing drinking games, throwing dice, talking, drinking alone, and eating all maintained their original movements for a brief moment as if time had stopped.

The woman in a black dress, who could be the shopkeeper or the boss lady, raised her head, her eyebrows raised, her almond eyes wide open:
"Drink if you want, get out if you don't!"

Phew! Meng Qi almost spit out saliva. This proprietress is really unique!
The young man who had complained about the watered-down spirit had not expected such an answer, and stood there in a daze for a moment.

"Haha." The stiff crowd burst into laughter, as if they had expected that the young man would be treated like this.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Someone actually dared to yell at Jiu Niang."

"Don't talk to me, I'm almost crying from laughing. Where did this young man come from?"

"Nine Lady, there is no water in the wine, it is clearly water... Mmmmm, don't cover my mouth."

"If I don't cover your mouth, do you want to be kicked out, or drink a basin of Jiu Niang's foot washing water?"

This was probably the young man's first time traveling around the world. Faced with this situation, his face turned red. He couldn't get angry, nor could he endure it...

Fortunately, there was an old hand who often walked here who was his companion. He stood up and whispered a few words in his ear, persuading him to sit down again.

The young man buried his head and gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to get angry, which surprised Meng Qi.

After walking up the stairs, Xuan Bei, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke with a rare smile in his tone: "Qu Jiuniang, whose background is unknown, opened the 'First Inn in the Vast Sea' here ten years ago. At first, she was alone and had an outstanding appearance, which caused a lot of trouble. However, all those who dared to target her were treated lightly, some with corpses left outside the inn, and some with naked bodies hung on the wine banner of the inn. None of them were spared. Later, the troubles decreased. Everyone knew that Qu Jiuniang was not a character to be messed with. They suspected that she was a master of the external scene realm."

"Outer scene? How old is she?" Meng Qi was shocked and secretly complained in his heart, "Master, when I talked about the area outside the corpse collection, you didn't show any mercy. You still have a mortal heart!"
Xuan Bei stepped onto the last step of the stairs: "Probably thirty-five or thirty-six. I haven't used my clairvoyance to look at it, so I'm not sure."

Well, she is well maintained. However, a master in this kind of Exterior Realm might still look like this in another ten years... Meng Qi nodded slightly.

At the same time, Meng Qi's heart moved. When he was in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Shang Yi once said that he had joined the Immortal Records. Could the person who guided Shang Yi to join be the innkeeper Qu Jiuniang? He also has another identity in the Immortal Records, but no one knows which legendary immortal he is!
While Meng Qi was stunned, the three of them had already arrived outside the guest room. Xuan Bei turned to Meng Qi and Zhen Hui and said, "I have to do my evening lessons, so you should not relax either."

"Yes, Master." The two men answered respectfully and pushed the door open to enter their room.

There was only a bed, a table and two chairs in the room. It was old but not dirty. Meng Qi and Zhen Hui did not say much. One sat on the chair and the other on the bed and began to meditate.

Meng Qi did not practice any other kung fu, but instead focused his mind on the ancestral orifice, allowing his true qi to flow upward, slowly stimulating this mysterious point.

In the past six months, Meng Qi has already condensed the remaining three eye acupoints. He just needs to take the "Tiancong Pill" to achieve a breakthrough after conditioning his body and mind in the next few days.

Shang Yi watched the three people enter the inn from afar, but he was very clear in his mind that the information that Xuan Bei had left Shaolin Temple and appeared in Liushaji had already been passed on by people in Shaolin Temple.

Now, Xuan Bei's enemy, Old Man Ku, has come out of seclusion specifically for this matter and is waiting for Xuan Bei's arrival in front of the grave of Xuan Bei's wife and children.

This time Xuan Bei will pay the price of being seriously injured to defeat the Crying Old Man, but the Crying Old Man's disciple, An Guoxie, will capture Meng Qi and destroy Meng Qi's dantian and limbs in order to interrogate him to reveal his "Illusionary Shape-shifting Technique".

Shang Yi also wanted to intervene in this incident, not to help Meng Qi out of the predicament, but to help Xuan Bei and completely keep the crying old man in the vast sea.

Firstly, the crying old man was full of evil, and his disciples had killed countless horse bandits; secondly, when he went to Yuhai, there were horse bandits under An Guoxie. This time the crying old man appeared here to block Xuan Bei, and there was no guarantee that he did not have the intention of killing this young knight in advance.

As for investing in Master Xuan Bei, although there is an idea, it is not urgent. After all, Xuan Bei's growth may not be as fast as Shang Yi. Even if Shang Yi has become a Dharma body, Xuan Bei is still at the peak of his field career!
More importantly, Shang Yi wanted to use this to become famous.

For a man of the world, isn't the best way to become famous to step on other masters to get to the top?
But Shang Yi is just a wandering warrior after all. If he directly challenges those masters on the human list, he is still worried that he will be targeted by some people and be plotted against by the court.

After all, a passionate young man who has just entered the world of martial arts, and is a genius with extraordinary talent, is the best chess piece to disrupt the chess game. If Shang Yi himself is not strong enough, he will be trapped in the chess game of those in power!
Shang Yi is strong enough and is naturally not afraid of these things, but he does not want to distract his energy from practicing!

The description in the Legend of Dragon and Snake is very good. When one first learns Chinese martial arts, he is full of energy and spirit, and is determined to become stronger. This is the dragon. However, when he is experienced in the martial arts world, he cannot control his mind and sinks into various calculations. He loses the spirit to practice martial arts and also begins to use various calculations in the chess game to benefit himself. This is the transformation from a dragon to a snake. Only by controlling one's heart and regaining one's original intention can one change from a snake to a dragon again.

Wang Chao's energy was like the transformation of the dragon and snake, so he was able to quickly master the dragon and snake combination taught by Tang Zichen, and even reached the highest level of Chinese martial arts.

Therefore, even though Shang Yi now feels that he is powerful, he is unwilling to get involved in those calculations!
Retracting his gaze, Shang Yi used his telepathy to contact Qu Jiuniang at the counter and said:
"Yuan Jun, did you notice the little monk who paid the money just now? He is my teammate in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space. He has unlimited potential. I will introduce him to the Xianji Organization!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jiuniang paused for a moment, then continued to settle the accounts as if nothing had happened, cursing in her heart:
"You little brat, don't use your telepathy so casually. Do you like snooping into secrets so much!?" (End of this chapter)
