Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 990 Outside Xiangfan City
"It is difficult to predict the year of Jiazi, thousands of demons are roaming the White Sun Sky. The will of heaven is written in a book, and the disciples are devoutly supporting the Tao. The Buddha lamp is lit up and the brilliant light appears, a ray of hope to save the last years."

By the Spring God Lake, the bright lantern that illuminates the world has arrived as promised.

Xu Fengnian and Li Chungang were already standing in their original positions waiting, "Master, you are really on time."

"Having the trust of the prince, how can Cilang let him down?" Zhaoshi Mingdeng said as he took off the weapon wrapped in white cloth behind him.

Xu Fengnian took the weapon, uncovered the white cloth, and white light instantly illuminated the shores of Spring God Lake.

When the light faded, Xu Fengnian could see clearly the knife in his hand.

The handle is one foot long and the blade is about three feet long, reflecting a cold light under the moonlight.

When Xu Fengnian held the knife in his hand, he unexpectedly felt a sense of lightness and freedom that he had never felt before when he held Xiudong and Chunlei.

It was as if this weapon was an extension of his body.

Zhao Shi Ming Deng introduced to Xu Fengnian: "This sword is made of the black dragon as the main material, combined with other metals. The material is light, the sword is 4 feet long and weighs one pound and two ounces. It was made with reference to the height, arm length, palm width and other aspects of the prince."

"I didn't expect that the Taoist priest had such skills. Xu Fengnian deeply felt the extraordinaryness of this sword, and hurriedly thanked Zhao Shi Ming Deng: "Xu Fengnian would like to thank the Taoist priest very much."

The knowledgeable Li Chungang on the side looked at the knife in Xu Fengnian's hand and praised: "Little Taoist, with this forging skill, you are the best in the world today."

"Thank you, old sword god Miao." Zhaoshi Mingdeng said to Xu Fengnian, "This sword has not yet been named, so it should be taken by the prince, the master of weapons."

Xu Fengnian thought for a while and said, "Before his death, the black dragon called himself Lord Chunhu. So I will use this name. After this sword, I will be Chunhu."

"What a nice name." The Shining Lamp showed his extraordinary cultivation, with the aura converging on his fingers.

In just a breath, the words "Chun Hu" were carved on the blade of the knife in Xu Fengnian's hand.

Xu Fengnian did not react. When he came to his senses, the two words "Chun Hu" on the knife were full of vigor.

"Good skills." Xu Fengnian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The matter here is over. I will continue to travel the world. Old Sword God, Prince, we will meet again if we are destined to do so." Zhao Shi Ming Deng carried the lantern and walked away slowly. "It is difficult to determine the fate of the Jia Zi year. Thousands of demons are roaming the White Sun Sky. The will of heaven is written in books, and the disciples are devout to support the Tao. The Buddha lamp is lit up and the light appears. There is a ray of hope to save the last years."

After Zhao Shi Ming Deng left, Li Chun Chun Gang said, "You are lucky, kid. You just picked up the Black Dragon and met a good caster."

"Who said it wasn't?" Xu Fengnian was more and more satisfied with the Chunhu Knife in his hand. "Flowers go well with green leaves. When I get back, I'll find someone to make a good scabbard for it."

During Xu Fengnian's trip to Chunshen Lake, he not only witnessed the capabilities of the immortals on land, but also obtained a set of top-quality magic weapons.

After returning, rest for a night.

Xu Fengnian and his party set off for Xiangfan, which is said to be the second Fengdu in the world.

There, King Jing'an, one of the six vassal kings of Liyang, is in charge.

On the way to Xiangfan by boat, the group met Zhao Xun, the prince of Jing'an, and Wei Wei, the son of Wei Dong, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou navy.

The two of them and a group of Qingzhou noble families were riding on three Yellow Dragon warships of the Qingzhou navy.

This warship is second only to the highest-specification Qinglong and Liuya warships of the Liyang Dynasty.

The ships Xu Fengnian and his companions were travelling on were three merchant ships that they had purchased with money.

The two sides had been in conflict, and then they had a fight.

Although the Qingzhou navy has large ships and many men, Qingzhou has enjoyed peace and prosperity over the years, so how can they compare to the battle-hardened veterans led by Ning Emei under Xu Fengnian's command.

First, the Beiliang soldiers defeated four hundred with a hundred, and then Li Chungang stepped on the Yellow Dragon.

After Xu Fengnian occupied the Yellow Dragon warship, he threw the two men off the warship and let them swim back to Xiangfan City. After this defeat, the glory of the Qingzhou Navy, which was second only to the Guangling Navy, was completely torn apart.

The young party in the court will definitely give up Wei Dong and choose a new candidate.

After this incident, the power that Gu Jiantang had built up over the years in the Qingzhou Navy must have suffered a heavy blow.

Wang Linquan, who was arranged by Xu Xiao here, could take this opportunity to place his confidants in the navy.

In order to control this large navy close to Beiliang.

After throwing Zhao Xun, Wei Wei and their entourage off the boat, he went to Xiangfan together with the daughters of Qingzhou officials who were originally boating on the lake with Zhao Xun and Wei Wei.

Meanwhile, Lu Qiuer sent a secret letter, saying that the literary and martial arts reviews, which were published once every ten years, had been published.

At the beginning of the martial arts review, it says that there are three religions in the world. Among Buddhism and Taoism, there is only Guanyin, among the immortals, there is Lu Zu, and among the gods, there is only Dangmo Tianzun. These three are the most mixed in the human world and are closest to humans.

Therefore, Yi Ye Shu, who had made a stunning appearance at Chun Shen Lake, and Da Guanyin of the Western Regions, representing Buddhism, were included in the first grade, while Xiao Lu Zu of Longhu Mountain and the new head of Wudang, Hong Xixiang, representing Taoism, were included in the first grade.

But the most surprising thing is that on the martial arts evaluation list, there are three names that have never been heard of before, "Purple Dragon Shadow", "Lingguang Wing" and "Bodhi Soul", representing the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the Central Plains, and are also listed in the first grade.

The reason why Zilongying was included in the list is that he broke Xu Wei's ten games of Xiong Danghu, using chess to help him enter the realm of Zhixuan.

Later he entered Shangyin Academy, where he surpassed everyone else in skills and left in style.

Ling Guangyi went up Mount Longhu, and after coming down the mountain three days later, he was awarded the title of "Wan Dao Mo Ji" by the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu.

Bodhipo once went to Nalanda Monastery and discussed the Dharma with the Great Compassionate Dharma King, also known as Avalokitesvara, and won with his theory on killing and eliminating karma.

These three people can be said to be the most cutting-edge figures in the entire martial arts world.

But because they were wearing masks, their true faces could not be seen.

His true identity is a matter of speculation.

Many people speculated that the three people should be from the same organization based on the masks on their faces.

But what kind of organization it is is unknown.

There are also reviews on kendo in the martial arts reviews. Wang Xiaoping, a Wudang sword fanatic, Wu Liuding, the sword champion of the Wu family sword tomb, and Tianhu Ling are among them.

Yi Ye Shu himself had seen it at Chun Shen Lake, and Lu Qiu'er said in a letter that the Great Guanyin had left the Western Regions, and Qi Xiao Tianshi, who was known as the Little Lu Zu, had also gone down the mountain.

These two people were most likely here for Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian met these two people while watching the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony outside the city of Xiangfan.

The battle of Xiangfan that year was extremely brutal.

Both Buddhism and Taoism have obscure records that there were 100,000 evil spirits in Xiangfan City who were cooked and eaten by their relatives. Their resentment was so strong that even 36,500 Zhoutian Dajiao rituals could not dispel it.

Therefore, the two religions made an unwritten bet that year: whoever won would enter Xiangfan, and whoever lost would leave Xiangfan, and this agreement would remain unchanged for a hundred years.

If Mount Longhu wins, the monks led by the Liangchan Temple and Mount Nalanda will not be allowed to set foot in Xiangfan for a hundred years.

Otherwise, Longhu Mountain would have to withdraw the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony, move out of all the Taoist temples, and would not be allowed to preach scriptures in the city.

The two men fought outside Xiangfan City, which had turned into a ghost town due to the brutal war.

In the end, Master Qi was defeated and Guanyin won.
