Embers of Sword

Chapter 187 Hidden murderous intent

Chen Jingxuan got up and heated a pot of new tea.

"Thank you, brother. I haven't congratulated you in person yet."

When he sat back down, his face showed a smile: "Congratulations, you have become the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven."

"Not worth mentioning."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head.

He noticed that when Chen Jingxuan came back, he had something to play with in his hand.

It was a beautifully crafted small iron boat, only the size of a palm, but it was exactly the same as the original "Pulu", even the small windows on the belly were carved.

Chen Jingxuan placed the iron ship on the jade table.

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "Po Lu Hao?"

"Yes."

Chen Jingxuan smiled and said, "King You Hai died, and this ship also sank in the Lichao River... I always feel it's a pity."

There are many precious Taoist patterns on the Po Lu, which are the relics given to Chu Lin by Emperor Chu.

The library studies the art of "monitoring the sky". In addition, it also studies Taoist patterns and formations.

Xie Xuanyi asked, "Could this be modeled after the 'Huan Yuan Yi'?"

Chen Jingxuan just smiled and didn't answer.

He flicked his sleeves lightly, and the pocket-sized Po Lu trembled slightly. The golden line above the library shook and made a sound of breaking wind. An invisible force lifted the small boat, and it shook. The boat soared up on the lifeline, restoring the scene of the battle in Qingzhou. The big sails fluttered, and wisps of Taoist patterns condensed above the Po Lu.

The golden thread of destiny turned into a tidal sea, lifting it up.

The Hunyuan Instrument is responsible for "taking" those Dao patterns... and disassembling them one by one.

"The Sky Monitor's methods are truly incredible."

Xie Xuanyi sighed: "The wreckage of the iron ship that has been blown to pieces can actually be 'restored' through this method."

"It's nothing."

Chen Jingxuan shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's just a way of inferring and restoring some information about dead objects... It's just restoring an iron ship, not resurrecting a dead person."

This joke is not funny.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi could only pretend that he didn't hear the hidden meaning of Chen Jingxuan's words.

The young national teacher smiled and took the initiative to change the subject, asking, "Brother Xie, are you here today to ask about the city gate fist?"

"Yes, not all."

Xie Xuanyi said: "I have several questions, I would like to trouble the little national teacher to answer them."

"Oh, there's more than one question?" Chen Jingxuan picked up the hot tea.

"Before coming to the Imperial City, I met a small owner of Fangyuanfang who called himself 'Snow Master'."

Xie Xuanyi pushed the book in his arms out and said calmly, "This is what 'Snow Lord' gave me. Do you want to take a look?"

"???"

Chen Jingxuan glanced at the cover of the storybook with an interesting look on his face.

Did this guy do this on purpose?
Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
"I won't read this book. The Snow Lord you mentioned... is a real person."

The young imperial teacher took a sip of tea and said slowly, "There are four small masters in Fangyuanfang, and they are said to be 'Wind', 'Fire', 'Snow', and 'Wood'. Two are in Nanli, and two are in Beichu. The four small masters are all in the Yin God Realm. They rarely meet each other. They only obey the orders of the big master."

"Who is the grand master of Fangyuanfang?" Xie Xuanyi asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know."

Chen Jingxuan said calmly, "Fangyuanfang's business has only started to flourish in the past ten years. Some people say that the Grand Master is a powerful nobleman in the Dali Dynasty in the south, while others say that the Grand Master has a rich family background in Dachu that is not inferior to that of a king of another surname. There are many different opinions about the Grand Master, and it is difficult to verify them."

"Even you don't know?" Xie Xuanyi was a little surprised. He looked at the golden sea of fate that was holding up the Po Lu.

"Although the Sky Watchers can use the 'Lifeline' to peek into the future, this comes at a price."

Seeing Xie Xuanyi raise his head, Chen Jingxuan said helplessly: "See it once, and you will lose many years of your life... The identity of the Grand Master of Fangyuanfang is not important to me. This is just a business shop. Those nobles in the palace don't care, so why should I care?"

indeed.

Using one's lifespan to spy on the identity of the Grand Master of Fangyuanfang is really not worth it.

"not to mention……"

Chen Jingxuan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In the near future, the list of the new 'Ten Heroes' will be announced to the world. By then, the identity of the Grand Master of Fangyuanfang will naturally be revealed."

After the Battle of Drinking Poison.

In order to consolidate the fortune and stabilize the country's situation, the top leaders of the two dynasties of Da Chu and Da Li held talks.

Every sixty years, the ten most influential "heroes" in the entire human world will be sent to the pinnacle of worldly fame.

These are the ten heroes of the world.

The Ten Heroes symbolize not only personal status, but also the power of the sects and families behind them.

of course.

Out of fairness and for some unspeakable special reasons, the royal family members of Da Chu and Da Li will not appear on the list of the ten nobles.

Similarly, some "forbidden people" who have close relations with the royal family will not show up.

The previous list of top ten heroes.

Qin Zu did not show up.

In addition, due to the limited list, there will only be one strongest person among the different strong people of the same force.

For example, Forget-Your-Sorrow Island. Although there are two top-level beings on Forget-Your-Sorrow Island...but the only one who can occupy a place on the list of the top ten heroes is that crude warrior.

Also.

Zhao Chunyang did not appear on the list of the top ten heroes...not because he was not strong enough.

Quite the opposite.

Zhao Chunyang’s strength is more than enough.

The reason why he is not on the list is because Dasui Sword Palace does not need to occupy one of the "Ten Heroes" to prove its weight!
The three major forces, Taoism, Sword Palace, and Brahma Sound Temple, have all surpassed the Ten Heroes!

Therefore, these three transcendent forces were not even included in the previous list.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Fang Yuan Fang will definitely be among the new top ten heroes."

Chen Jingxuan sighed: "The new ten heroes have been appointed so quickly... Sixty years is so short." "Master Imperial Master, since you don't want to read this story, it means you already know the relationship between the Qin family and Fangyuanfang."

Xie Xuanyi returned to the original topic and asked in confusion: "Qin Baihuang made up a story about you, don't you plan to take any measures against this matter?"

"Take measures..."

Chen Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do about this kind of thing? Break Qin Baihuang's legs? Or demolish Fangyuanfang?"

Xie Xuanyi fell silent.

Since the mastermind behind this matter is the chief abbot of Fangyuanfang.

Then Chen Jingxuan really couldn't do anything.

The person writing the story now is Qin Baihuang.

If Qin Baihuang really stopped writing, it might be a disaster.

"I met him when I returned to the Imperial City during my last trip to Qingzhou."

Chen Jingxuan sighed, "I can only ask this guy to write a better story... I told him that if this story ever comes to an end, he must write a happy ending that everyone is happy with."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

In reality, it is difficult for the story of the young imperial teacher and the female master to have a happy ending.

There are too many obstacles for this couple.

"Don't mention that."

The young imperial teacher shook his head, took out a jade slip from his arms and pushed it in front of Xie Xuanyi.

"This is?"

"This is some information Sang Zheng collected on Xining Street today."

Xie Xuanyi took the jade slip and silently scanned it with his divine sense.

Xining Street, Yuanqinglou, was a very famous restaurant ten years ago. Many young dignitaries liked to hold banquets and enjoy music here.

Lin Yu and Qin Wanyang both appeared here.

In addition, there was a strange figure... Sang Zheng was only at the fifth level of the Cave Heaven Realm. Even with the help of the library's treasure to spy, he could only catch a vague shadow.

He was wearing a loose blue shirt and a blue mask. He was tall and did not go through the main gate.

For some people, you can guess their identities without meeting them.

"Fangyuanfang, Master Wood?"

When Xie Xuanyi saw the mask, he thought of Snow Lord. The two men were dressed almost exactly the same, making it difficult to recognize their identities.

"good."

Chen Jingxuan said softly, "Lin Yu, Qin Wanyang, and Muzhu once met at Yuanqing Tower. I also found out that... a few days ago, the old man of the Lin family was seriously ill and bedridden, and Qin Wanyang went to visit him. In the past few days, the old man's condition has improved a lot. These two things together are probably the reason for the city gate question boxing."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi nodded and silently accepted the jade slip. Sang Zheng was indeed one of the hidden men that Chen Jingxuan had been cultivating silently.

This trip to the library was a good decision.

What he lacks most is intelligence.

The library has the most comprehensive information.

"I always feel that there is something strange about Lin Yu's question about boxing."

Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment and then spoke: "On the surface, the design of this game is very simple... Qin Wanyang asked Lin Yu to use the "Question Fist" to cause a dispute. Regardless of the outcome, as long as the Wuzong disciples do not keep their composure and continue this question fist, the dispute at the gate of the imperial city today will not be settled so quickly."

Chen Jingxuan smiled at the young man in black in front of him and motioned for him to continue speaking.

“But this is too crude.”

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said, "Qin Baihuang showed up and took Qin Wanyang away. Senior Brother Wuzong didn't show up. As long as this dispute is settled at the city gate and everyone calms down, then everything... will come to an end."

In theory, the farce is over.

But deep in Xie Xuanyi's heart, there was still some uncertainty.

This is why he insisted on coming to the library tonight.

"Lin Yuwen's question about boxing is just the beginning."

Chen Jingxuan said slowly: "You are right... The biggest problem with this round is that it is 'rough'. If it was just a questioning fight, even if Wu Zong was really angry and Wu Yue was brought out, what would happen?"

"and many more."

Xie Xuanyi looked strange: "What do you mean?"

"Let's assume the worst, assuming that the schemer wants you to be 'disgraced'."

Chen Jingxuan smiled and said, "If Wu Yue shows up, can we achieve our goal?"

"Are you too confident in me?"

Xie Xuanyi quickly said in a serious tone: "I heard that the senior brother of Wuzong has reached the perfect state of cave heaven."

"Tsk, I heard someone say that someone personally declared at the city gate that even if Senior Brother Wuzong came forward, he would not be worthy of challenging you."

Chen Jingxuan raised his eyebrows: "I think even if he really shows up, he won't be your opponent, right?"

Xie Xuanyi had no choice but to knock on the jade table, indicating that he should stop keeping the secret.

"You defeated Xie Sheng in Xuanshui Cave Heaven. This battle is enough to attract everyone's attention."

"People who really want to hurt you won't take it lightly."

The smile on Chen Jingxuan's face gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice: "They will destroy you at all costs. The best opportunity is certainly not in the Imperial City, but..."

He paused.

Move your eyes to the north.

Northern hunting.
