Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Faced with Li Lianpeng's threat, the old sword god didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:
"The younger members of the family have their own destiny. I can't control it, and I don't want to. If Mr. Li really wants to do something, just do whatever you want."

"Tsk..." Li Lianpeng smacked his lips, tilted his head and looked at the old sword god across from him, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, does the old sword god have to go against me?"

"I don't mean that."

The old sword god Lao Shenzai said: "There are many people in the world nowadays. Some people are chasing fame and fortune, and some are pursuing the supreme martial arts. But I just want to find someone who can use the sword to sharpen my sword skills."

"Then go find Li Lianhua. You two will find a place where there is no one to fight. This time I will ask him not to hold back his hands and use his sword with all his strength."

"Hehe... That's no need. My Lotus Brother has almost mastered human swordsmanship to the extreme. I don't want to go to his place and ask for trouble."

The old sword god smiled awkwardly and rejected Li Lianpeng's proposal.

Only he, who has been practicing swordsmanship all his life, can feel how superb the swordsmanship of the former best in the world who seemed to have a gentle personality was.

He only used two swords against him, and his heart of swordsmanship was covered in dust.

That is a kind of peak that is difficult for a swordsman to overcome, and he is worthy of the name of a swordsman genius who is rare to see in a century.

Wu Liuding never thought that he just had not been down the mountain for 30 years, and that there would be such a person in this world.

The reason why he stayed here was because he wanted to find an opportunity to break through the shackles.

The two chatted for a while, and it was already noon.

Qingque asked someone to prepare lunch and came to call Li Lianpeng.

"My lord, it's time to eat."

Li Lianpeng nodded and looked at the old sword god opposite, "Do you want to come together?"

"Since Mr. Li invites you so kindly, I will treat you as a guest and do as you please."

"...?"

When did he extend the warm invitation?Isn't it just a casual question?

Facing the rogue old man, Li Lianpeng finally realized how helpless Li Lianhua was when he entangled him with him.

He stood up and walked towards the door first.

Not to be outdone, the old sword god also got up to follow.

Not to mention anything else, the various delicacies in the Li Mansion are really addictive. In the past, he was not very interested in eating. He only wanted to practice cultivation. From time to time, he would open a valley and not get any water for several days.

But after eating the food at Li's house, the old sword god felt that he was really biased in the past. There is more than just the stunning scenery on the top of the mountain that is worth stopping to appreciate.

The human fireworks at the foot of the mountain can also nourish people's spirit.

It is also very helpful for practicing swordsmanship!

……

After Di Feisheng knocked Jiao Liqiao off the cliff with one palm, he never went down the mountain in person to search for the bones.

As far as he is concerned, his relationship with the saint Jiao Liqiao is over, and her life and death have nothing to do with him anymore.

Whether alive or dead, the two of them will only be strangers in the future.

Once Jiao Liqiao dies, the Golden Yuan Alliance will inevitably be in chaos, and Di Feisheng has no idea of ​​​​pacifying it.

The once-familiar faces all died in the battle in the East China Sea, and the person who attacked them was Li Xiangyi, so their deaths were not considered unjust.

Being able to play against the best in the world is already the greatest comfort to them.

As for avenging them, Di Feisheng has never thought about it.

In his opinion, to walk in the world, one must be aware of being killed at any time.

When people in the martial arts fight, the competition is always about their own strength. If the strength is not enough, the sword is not fast enough, the sword is not sharp enough, the fist is not strong enough, if you are killed, then there is no complaint.

Standing outside the mountain gate, Di Feisheng shook his head and jumped off the cliff.

All the way down the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, we came to a river that was a hundred feet wide. Looking at the turbulent water, Di Feisheng hesitated a little, and did not forcefully cross the river, but walked quickly into the forest on the side.

Not long after, he came to the riverside with a piece of thick wood in his hand.

He threw the rough wood in his hand into the river. The moment it was washed away by the current, he jumped up and stepped firmly on it with his feet.

At the same time, the internal force surged, urging the thick wood under the feet, making it move automatically without any propeller, and sail towards the other side of the river.

He has rarely used this method in the past. As the leader of the Golden Yuan Alliance, he naturally has arrangements for travel, and his subordinates will arrange everything, including the big boat used to cross the river.

Now that he has given up these things, he can only rely on himself to travel.

But relying too much on external objects, using ordinary things he sees to sharpen his true energy is one of the reasons for Li Lianpeng's deep internal strength.

This is what the other party told him. If he wants to be like Li Lianpeng, who can defeat all kinds of magic with just pure inner energy, he can only practice like this.

Although Di Feisheng had not officially fought against Li Lianpeng, he knew that the brother Li Lianhua recognized from nowhere was the most powerful person in martial arts he had ever met in his life.

The strength lies in the word "gong".

There are two completely different internal powers in this person's body. In other words, he has practiced two internal skills and mental methods at the same time, but he will not go crazy because of this.

It can be seen from this that this person's martial arts attainments are definitely not inferior to Li Lianhua's.

Even, it is even stronger!
Di Feisheng had an illusion that Li Lianpeng seemed to be from a different world than him and Li Lianhua.

It's not just his unique words and deeds, but the focus is on the other person's way of practice and the martial arts achievements he has achieved.

If the end of martial arts in this world is to ascend to the sky, it will be an immortal.

That Li Lianpeng is a Zhuxian who plays with the world!

This is also the second reason why he has been following the other party.

One of the reasons is because of Li Lianhua.

The real opponent in his mind is also the whetstone for him to reach the end of martial arts.

Di Feisheng was thinking in his heart, stepping on the thick wood and walking to the middle of the river.

At this time, a large ship appeared in the distance.

The big boat went down the river.

Di Feisheng, who put his hands behind his back and held his head high, subconsciously turned his head and glanced over there.

I saw a lot of people on the big ship, and there seemed to be a lot of people standing on the deck.

Di Feisheng quickly looked away and didn't care.

However, the people on the boat also saw him.

……

on board.

An exclamation suddenly sounded.

"Look, there's a person on the river!"

Lu Jinnian, who was standing on the deck and admiring the scenery along the river, heard the exclamation and subconsciously turned his head to look.

as predicted!

A person could be clearly seen dozens of feet away from the ship they were on. The man was standing on the river, crossing the river at a speed that was not weaker than the speed of the big ship under their feet.

Lu Jinnian couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but murmured: "...immortal?"

Lu Jinnian was a scholar who was born in the south and grew up in the north. After winning the Jinshi this time, he was named Yangzhou County Magistrate by the imperial court. Before the new year, he took his whole family to take up his post in the local area.

This trip my family went south to settle down in Yangzhou.

Hearing his murmur, a beautiful woman on the side stepped forward to hold his hand and said worriedly:
"Ms. sir, did you just say immortal?"

There was no surprise at meeting a strange person. The woman looked a little worried.
"It is rumored that the situation in Yangzhou has been changing recently. Many disciples of Jianghu sects, martial arts masters who are hermits, and some strange people are going to participate in the martial arts conference held in Yangzhou City. The people on the river are probably one of these Jianghu people. …”

Although she did not deny it explicitly, the woman's words still told Lu Jinnian that there are no immortals in this world, they are just some martial arts people with advanced martial arts skills.

Lu Jinnian patted the woman's hand and said with a gentle smile: "Madam, don't worry, this Yangzhou has always been an important place for the imperial court. No matter how many martial arts people there are, they can't cause chaos, let alone affect our trip."

"It would be best if it is as my husband said."

The woman is Lu Jinnian's first wife, and the two got married in the imperial city last year.

After Lu Jinnian passed the Jinshi examination, he went to Yangzhou with him to take up his post.

Lu Jinnian knew what his wife was worried about.

Madam is not an ordinary woman in a boudoir. She has walked through rivers and lakes with a sword, and knows the dangers of rivers and lakes. This time she saw this master of rivers and lakes crossing the river with a piece of dead wood, and she felt worried.

Ruan Lingyu did not get comfort from Lu Jinnian.

The expression on his face was still tense.

She is the daughter of a general. Due to her family background, she liked to wield swords and guns since she was a child. It was not until she encountered an almost desperate kidnapping in the world that she gave up her desire to travel around the world and become a heroine that everyone admired.

Although she was rescued at a critical moment, she would shudder every time she recalled her past experience.

The rivers and lakes are not all about chivalry and righteousness, and grudges and revenge.

There is also a lot of darkness.

Most Jianghu people follow the rules when encountering problems. Following the rules set by the older generation can avoid a lot of trouble.

But there are also some people in the world who act based on their own preferences, unscrupulously and without encouragement.

What he did was outrageous.

For example, she has encountered the most notorious method of harvesting and cutting.

Throughout the ages, no matter in prosperous times or troubled times, there have always been beggars in the world, belonging to the three religions and nine streams.

Harvesting and cutting of raw materials is a cruel and inhumane method among beggars.

In order to live a better life, those Jianghu people cruelly turned some abducted children or women into monsters, using this as a guise to win the sympathy of others and obtain a large amount of money from passers-by.

Ruan Lingyu was one of the women who was trafficked back then.

She was just starting out and was unsophisticated. Although she was good at martial arts, she was still deceived.

A cup of poisonous tea left her unable to use her martial arts skills, and she could only let those hateful guys lock her up with a group of children.

She witnessed those children being turned into monsters and taking broken bowls to the streets to beg.

If she hadn't met the young wandering doctor who seemed frail but whose martial arts skills were unfathomable, she might not have been able to leave the Jianghu forces headed by the Beggar Clan alive.

It became a lifelong nightmare for her, and she would be woken up every night.

The reason why she married Lu Jinnian was because he looked similar to the wandering doctor who once saved her life.

In addition, Lu Jinnian was a young talent that her father favored, so she was willing to marry him.

Lu Jinnian knew that his wife was once saved by a wandering doctor, and he was grateful. In the past two years, he would help some barefoot wandering doctors who were begging for food in the imperial city.

She didn't know that she had a similar appearance to that wandering doctor, so she thought it was because of his talent that Ruan Lingyu fell in love with him, so she married him.

While the couple was talking, the Jianghu man who crossed the river with a piece of dead wood had already reached the other side.

From a distance, it looks like a drop of ink on a landscape painting, making it difficult not to notice.

This method of crossing the river still opened the eyes of the Lu family on this big ship and gained a lot of knowledge.

The person who had exclaimed earlier was a servant of the Lu family, who was bragging to a group of servants.

Lu Jinnian and the other two listened for a while and then returned to the room.

Although the scenery on the river is beautiful, it is winter after all, the wind is biting, and Lu Jinnian, who is already in poor health, cannot withstand the wind.

……

One day later, Lu Jinnian brought his wife and two accompanying maids from the hospital to Yangzhou City.

"I haven't been back for many years, and Yangzhou City is more lively than ever!"

Walking on the street, the future official of Yangzhou Ning'an County praised softly.

Ruan Lingyu walked on his right side, looking at the surroundings as well.

Unlike Lu Jinnian, what she saw were people with strong auras in the world of martial arts. Everyone walking in the streets, both men and women, were masters of the martial arts!
This made her feel more and more uneasy.

After arriving at the government office, he met the chief official of the government office, exchanged some pleasantries, and received the official seal and documents. Lu Jinnian took his wife to the Lu family's hometown in Yangzhou City, in front of a house in Lianhua Lane, Guangling District.

The Lu family was originally from Yangzhou. Since Lu Jinnian's grandfather became an official in the imperial city, the younger generations of the family have gone to the emperor's feet one after another.

What remains in Yangzhou is this uninhabited old house.

The house is cleaned every month, so it is not abandoned.

However, one of the two stone lions in front of the door is missing. I don’t know who stole it in the middle of the night. It looks a bit unsightly.

"Tsk, let's have this one moved and sold tomorrow. It's all alone. It looks very pitiful."

Lu Jinnian looked at the stone lion that still had an impression and said in a brisk tone.

This sentence caused Ruan Lingyu to roll her eyes slightly, but he was not angry about it. After all, which family belonged to him? This kind of stone lion used to control the fortune of the house was stolen. Not to say he was furious, at least he was angry. You need to lose your temper.

But her husband-in-law is not like that, he even looks very interesting.

This made her feel angry.

Seemingly aware of Ruan Lingyu's emotional change, Lu Jinnian hurriedly explained with a smile: "Madam, I don't know. It is said that the pair of stone lions were forcefully bought by my grandfather from somewhere else. As a result, I offended a stonemason. If there hadn't been someone at that time, Once the official document comes out and my grandfather goes to the imperial city to take up his post, I'm afraid he will be involved in a lawsuit."

"Now that it has been stolen, it can be regarded as a kind of repayment. No matter who benefits from it, it is not my Lu family's property. As long as the house is not destroyed, it will be fine."

After listening to what he said, the anger in Ruan Lingyu's heart subsided.

She has hated evil all her life, and what she hates most is the word "grab".

At this moment, several people walked out of the gate of a house next door.

Li Lianpeng was planning to go to the Lotus Building to see if Di Feisheng had returned. When she saw a group of people standing at the door of the house next door that had been idle but not for sale, she immediately came over with interest.

"This is Li Lianpeng."

After Li Lianpeng announced his name, he immediately asked: "Does this house belong to your family?"

"It turns out that Mr. Li is in front of me. I, Lu Jinnian, am dissatisfied with Mr. Li. This house is the ancestral home of my Lu family." Lu Jinnian cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Li Lianpeng suddenly said: "That's it."

……

While Li Lianpeng and Lu Jinnian were chatting, Ruan Lingyu inadvertently saw Li Lianhua beside him, and her expression changed slightly. (End of chapter)
