Chapter 131 Fame spread throughout the world!
After all, Wudi City is one of the most sacred places in the world!
It’s not for nothing that Wang Xianzhi has been called the second best in the world for half a century!
Whether it was the underworld forces, the spies in the court, or the merchants coming and going, or the busybodies, what happened here has spread throughout the world.
The news of the battle between Zhang Fan and Wang Xianzhi has become a hot topic at this moment. From the princes and nobles of major dynasties to the peddlers and hawkers, everyone can talk about it vividly!
The world is shocked!
However, Jian Jiuhuang's ninth move, "Six Thousand Miles of Bad Horse and Yellow Wine", which should have been famous throughout the world, was suppressed by the news that the newcomer Yuzhou Shisanlang had defeated Wang Xianzhi!
Some people disliked the nickname of Zhang Fan, the Thirteenth Son of Yuzhou, and gave him many nicknames!
Blood Sword Immortal!
Blood Demon Sword Master!
Young Master Blood Sword!
Countless!
There are also chivalrous men from the martial arts world who come to visit every day to ask for advice!
He knelt down with his baby in his arms and begged to be his disciple!
However, Zhang Fan refused other requests to become his disciple, but he did not accept the baby Lin Xiner was pregnant with. He took Lao Huang's sword box and Huang Lu, and his senior sister and brother-in-law found a good burial place for Lao Huang. It can be regarded as a closed loop of cause and effect.
After staying for a few more days, Zhang Fan became extremely annoyed. Finally, he remembered that his master Zhao Youtian had asked him to go to Qiantang. It would be inconvenient to take Qingyi and Zhou Cai with him, so he asked Qingyi to pretend to be him, and then he and Zhou Cai would go back to Yuzhou City in a swagger!
Zhang Fan had already sneaked onto Zhou Wanjiang's house and boarded a merchant ship heading to Qiantang, Nanming.
Yunyang Lake, Sun and Moon Sect, Five Elements Flag Headquarters, and Martial Arts Arena!
"Junior sister! Junior sister!" Chen Xuantie ran in quickly and shouted at the girl in purple tights!
"Senior Brother! What's the matter that makes you so anxious?" The girl replied, but her sword skills did not stop and she moved towards Chen Xuantie!
"Ouch! Something big has happened!" When Chen Xuantie saw the girl coming towards him with a knife, he quickly dodged!
Seeing that the girl was about to swing her knife to attack again, he couldn't help but let some anger enter his tone!
"Chi Han'er! This is not the time to make trouble!"
This girl is Chi Haner, ranked twelfth, Zhang Fan’s twelfth senior sister!
"Woo! I'm going to tell Master that you're so mean to me!" When Chi Han'er saw Chen Xuantie like this, she immediately squatted down and buried her head. Listening to the crying was so heartbreaking!
However, Chen Xuantie didn't buy it. A trace of speechlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said helplessly: "Alright! Stop pretending in front of my brother. What's the point of pretending to cry!"
When Chi Haner heard this, she buried her head deeper, held her head with both hands, and cried, "I'm going to tell Master that you bullied me! Woo woo~"
"Okay! Okay! I give up! Can I practice with you later?" Chen Xuantie said submissively, and couldn't help but have a few black lines on his head. You are favored, and whatever you say is right!
But thinking about the news I just received, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha!"
Chi Haner couldn't help but hear Chen Xuantie laughing. She thought he was laughing at her, so she stood up and kicked Chen Xuantie in the calf, "I'll make you laugh!"
Not feeling satisfied, he was ready to go up and kick him a few more times!
"Ouch! Stop! Stop!" Chen Xuantie screamed in pain and dodged immediately!
"You still dare to hide! I told you to hide! I told you to hide!" Chi Han'er also got angry!
"Ouch! Ouch! Junior sister, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" Chen Xuantie dodged and waved his hands. He couldn't afford to offend this girl. After all, she was the master's treasure. Then he said, "It's Xiao Shisan! It's Xiao Shisan!"
"Xiao Shisan? What happened to him? Didn't he go to Wudi City? Did he also go and smash the Tingfeng Tower?"
Chi Han'er's words were like a string of cannonballs, and Chen Xuantie was stunned. He first nodded, then shook his head.
"What happened to Xiao Shisan?" Chi Han'er asked again when she saw Chen Xuantie nodding and shaking his head.
Chen Xuantie shook his head, thinking that he couldn't follow Chi Han'er's lead at this pace, so he waved his hand and said, "Tell me first if Master has come out of seclusion!"
"That old guy hasn't come yet!" Chi Han'er said nonchalantly, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Xiao Shisan went to Wudi City to challenge him?"
Chen Xuantie nodded.
Chi Han'er opened her mouth wide in an instant, and listened to Chen Xuantie continue: "Little Thirteen asked the sword in the Emperor City, one step to the immortal on land! Above the East China Sea, the sword condensed in the void, defeated Wang Xianzhi!"
After saying that, he saw that his master had not come out yet, so he turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chi Haner.
"Junior sister, I'm not kidding! Xiao Shisan really won!" Chen Xuantie said without turning his head, but he saw Chi Han'er holding on tighter and tighter, and began to pull with both hands, and a whimpering sound came from behind him. It felt wrong. Why was she crying again?
Turning around, I saw that Chi Haner's mouth was wide open and couldn't close. It was dislocated!
Wu-Tang.
Back mountain.
The sunlight shone down from the sky and fell on an old Taoist priest standing beside a pond in the back mountain.
This old Taoist was none other than Wang Chonglou, the founder of Wudang Sect, who severed the Canglan River with two fingers.
Wang Chonglou is over a hundred years old, but he does not look old at all. Instead, he has the appearance of an immortal, with white hair and a youthful face. He has a restrained spirit and is otherworldly.
At this moment, he was standing by the pond, performing a set of boxing techniques smoothly and gracefully. His movements were extremely slow, but there was a mysterious Taoist rhythm between the movements and stillness.
"Brother!"
A man ran into the hall at great speed.
"Xixiang, why are you in such a hurry?!" Wang Zhonglou asked slowly and without stopping.
Hong Xixiang took a breath and said in doubt: "Brother, I just got the news that someone challenged Wang Xianzhi not long ago, and even Wang Xianzhi suffered a great loss!"
Wang Zhonglou's movements suddenly froze, "Is this true?!"
"It should be true. This matter has spread throughout the world." Hong Xixiang said truthfully.
"Is the person challenging us Deng Tai'a, Cao Guanzi, the leader of the Bad People, or the group of people from Southern Ming?!" Wang Zhonglou asked.
Hong Xixiang shook his head and said bitterly, "It was a young man who called himself "Yuzhou Shisanlang."
"A teenager?!"
Wang Zhonglou was suddenly stunned.
For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Feng Qingyun's calm face.
Wang Xianzhi is one of the strongest people in the world.
Even Wang Zhonglou himself was not sure that he could make Wang Xianzhi suffer a loss.
A young boy did the impossible.
"Yuzhou Shisanlang, an old Taoist priest, has lived for more than a hundred years. How come I have never heard of such a person in the martial arts world?"
Wang Chonglou was shocked and suspicious.
However, he became interested in Zhang Fan, the Thirteenth Man of Yuzhou.
He hoped that this new person would not be a troublemaker and break the taboo of Wudang lineage.
"Quick! Spread the news to Beiliang!" said Wang Zhonglou.
"Senior Brother! This news was delivered by the Beiliang Palace! Xu Fengnian will be here soon!" said Hong Xixiang.
"it is good!"
Nanming, Hulong Villa.
The four secret agents of Tiandi Xuanhuang all arrived at the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena was covered with traces of swords and knives inside and outside. It was Zhu Wusi, the god of the Huolong Villa, who used his internal force and the sword to cut off the mountain edge!
boom!
A figure landed from the high platform.
A tall figure appeared.
"God!" everyone saluted.
"Oh! You are all here, but what big thing happened?" Zhu Wusi said in a flat voice.
He was nearly forty years old, but there was not the slightest trace of time on his face. The slightly grey temples only added to his noble air.
The flawless face, as if carved with a knife, is full of heart-beating charm.
Above the high nose bridge are a pair of gem-like eyes, shining with cold light, as if they can see through people's hearts at a glance.
No secret can be hidden from these eyes. Although Zhu Wushi restrained his own aura, he still made the others feel a strong sense of oppression.
"That's right, Godly Candidate!" Duan Tianya stepped forward and nodded.
Tell Zhu Wusi the truth about the battle between Zhang Fan and Wang Xianzhi.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wusi cried out in surprise: "There is such a person in the world! Check it out!"
Upon hearing this, Haitang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "There is news about Shenhou! It seems that he used to run an inn! Some people heard that Jian Jiuhuang called him the shopkeeper!"
"What!?"
Yu Jian Villa.
In a main hall.
"Ancestor, I heard that recently there was a Blood Sword Immortal in the martial arts world who challenged Wang Xianzhi. Not only did he not lose, but he also made Wang Xianzhi suffer a great loss."
"But it seems that the two of them didn't decide the winner. The Blood Sword Immortal made a one-year agreement and finally flew away on his sword."
Yin Tianqi looked at the figure on the jade couch with awe in his eyes.
The figure was none other than Yin Zhong, the ancestor of the Yin family. He sat on the main seat like an insurmountable mountain.
He has a head full of silver hair and a figure similar to Hanma Yujiro. A giant blood-red python is hovering under his feet, and there are two bulges on the top of the python's head.
"Roar!"
The blood python roared, flew into the air, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed several strong men with trapped hands and feet in the hall into its stomach, and finally coiled at Yin Zhong's feet.
When everyone saw this scene, their expressions did not change much, as if they were already accustomed to it.
"Tianqi, do you take the rumors in the martial arts world seriously?!"
Yin Jun, the third owner of Yu Jian Villa, sneered and did not agree with what Yin Tianqi said at all.
"Even our ancestors' unparalleled magical powers are slightly inferior to Wang Xianzhi."
"How can a mere bastard like Zhang Fan, who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, be qualified to fight against Wang Xianzhi?!"
"I think it's probably just a fabrication by a storyteller, and then spread by people in the underworld."
Yin Tianqi frowned, but still insisted, "Third Uncle, this matter has spread all over the world, how could it be false? Who dares to spread rumors! The last general = Jiang Yuyan."
Before Yin Tianqi could finish, Yin Zhong, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly spoke up and said indifferently: "Okay, it's just a small matter, no need to mention it again."
Since Yin Zhong had spoken, no one else dared to say anything more.
Then Yin Zhong slowly opened his eyes, his lightning-like gaze shot out, and he asked coldly: "Yin Hao, how old is Tianxue this year?"
A middle-aged man trembled all over when he heard this, his face turned extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.
Yin Zhong was originally his second brother, but suddenly he transformed himself and became the ancestor of the Yin family. Not only did he snatch away his position as the owner of Yujian Villa, he also suppressed him everywhere and ordered him around like a dog.
Now that he heard Yin Zhong mention his daughter, Yin Hao felt even worse.
Yin Tianqi's expression also changed.
"Brother, the ancestor is asking you a question!" Seeing Yin Hao remained silent, Yin Jun glanced at Yin Zhong, then spoke coldly like a lackey, relying on the power of his master.
Yin Hao then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the ancestor, Tianxue is twenty years old this year."
"Let Tianxue marry Tong Bo!" Yin Zhong said without any doubt.
"Ancestor, how can this be possible!" Yin Tianqi was dumbfounded.
Yin Hao didn't expect that Yin Zhong would suddenly give such an order, "Grandfather, although marriage is a big matter and is decided by parents, it still depends on Tianxue's own wishes."
“If I force myself to marry Tong Bo, Tian Xue will definitely not agree. Please, ancestor!”
Before Yin Hao could finish his words, Yin Zhong slapped him and knocked him out!
Yin Zhong withdrew his palm, looked at his nails again, and said calmly: "Who else wants to object?"
I don't know if this is a question or...
Beiliang Palace!
Xu Fengnian woke up early in the morning. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the comfort brought by the brocade bedding, which made him very content. Without having experienced hunger or caught a cold, it was difficult for him to understand the great happiness of being full and warm, and the truth that hunger can cure all diseases. No matter how sincere and earnest the advice of his parents was, it could not express that feeling.
Yesterday on the Yellow Crane Tower, I talked about my three years of traveling with two pampered young men, Li Hanlin and Yan Chiji. The two childhood friends were just curious about the interesting stories in the martial arts world. After three rounds of drinking, they were very drunk. Just as they sat up, Hongshu, the maid from the greenhouse who lived on the small couch next door, came in to help them get dressed and put on their hats.
As Hongshu's slender hands moved, she gently reminded Xu Fengnian that there was a secret letter on the table. Xu Fengnian glanced at it and said "hmm".
Xu Fengnian discovered that this letter was something like a travel itinerary introduction. The text was straightforward and recorded Lao Huang's trip to the East China Sea, detailing every detail.
Although Xu Fengnian did not experience it personally, he clearly felt a suffocating feeling as if dark clouds were covering the city and the storm was full in the building. The penultimate chapter tells that Lao Huang met Zhang Fan and his party in Wudi City, drank wine all night, and even stayed overnight in that manor!
Xu Fengnian slapped his thigh and suddenly felt it was a pity!
Zhang Fan always remembers it!
What a good man!
But I didn’t expect that I also went to Wudi City and there was a manor!
Xu Fengnian thought about it and didn't rush to read on. He just remembered many things that happened in the past three years. The biggest thing was just encountering bandits and robbers, and the smaller things were countless. They were nothing more than refugees trying to solve the problem of food and clothing. They cheated, stole, and used all the tricks they could think of. Unfortunately, not only did they get nothing, but they also got a cold shoulder and were beaten.
Xu Fengnian wanted to laugh when he thought about it. It seemed that his father knew all about his embarrassing moments during the parade!
The head maid Hongshu looked at the expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Xu Fengnian gathered his thoughts and finally opened the last chapter.
"Jian Jiu Huang carried his box on his back and flew up to the top of the wall. He stood 20 feet away from Wang Xianzhi. He drew out all five swords from his box and used all eight sword styles. Wang Xianzhi responded with one hand. There were 68 moves in total. At the end, Jian Jiu came out. Wang Xianzhi moved his right hand. Jian Jiu, like a galaxy pouring down for thousands of miles, destroyed the sleeve of Wang Xianzhi's right arm. Wang Xianzhi fought with all his might, and Jian Jiu Huang broke 49 moves with one hand and one sword until he died.
Appendix 1: Jian Jiuhuang’s meridians were all severed. He sat cross-legged on the top of the city wall, his head facing north, and he did not fall even after death.
Appendix 2: After this battle, no one in the world dared to say that Jian Jiu Huang was inferior to the Sword God Deng Tai'a. Cao Guanzi in Guanhai Tower praised Jian Jiu's sword moves, saying that the sword was majestic and there was no better sword move in the world.
Appendix 3: The name of Sword Nine is Liu Qianli, as stated by Sword Nine Huang himself.
Appendix 4: Jian Jiuhuang seemed to have left some last words before his death, but only Wang Xianzhi heard them.
Xu Fengnian had been looking down at the letter. He saw nothing unusual from the side of his face. He was silent for a while, and finally said softly, "Hongshu, cook some rice wine."
This is not the season to cook rice wine. The crabs and perch in the lake are still small, so the head maid said softly: "Your Highness, are you going to drink it now?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "I want to drink."
Hongshu was very kind-hearted. Without asking any questions, he went to the cellar in Wutong Garden, which was full of rare treasures, and brought back a pot of Huijishan old yellow wine. He boiled a pot for the Crown Prince and brought it to the small sandalwood table on the bamboo couch by the window on the second floor of Wutong Garden.
When he came back, he placed another piece of news in front of Xu Fengnian's desk!
Xu Fengnian asked for two wine glasses, waved his hand, and asked all the maids, including Hongshu Luyi, to leave. He sat quietly for a whole day, without showing any joy or sorrow on his face. As dusk approached, he caught a glimpse of the Xiudong knife that had been neglected for a long time and hung on the wall as a beautiful decoration.
Xu Fengnian got off the bamboo couch, took off the Xiudong sword with a more beautiful name, drew it out of the scabbard, and the cold air penetrated his skin.
Turning around, I saw the second message from Sweet Potato. I thought about opening it and then I was shocked!
"Old Huang! This friend is not the wrong one!"
After saying this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and carefully put the information in his arms.
He opened the door and said, "Sweet potato! Tell the old man I want to learn swordsmanship!"
After speaking, he closed the door again.
"He wants to learn sword, why doesn't he come over? What can he learn in that room? Read books?" After listening to Hongshu's report, Xu Xiao was excited at first, but then asked Hongshu with a puzzled look.
Hongshu shook her head, but still said, "When I left, I heard the prince talking in the house!"
Xu Xiao leaned forward with great interest and asked, "What?"
Hongshu thought for a moment and said, "It sounded like something about an eagle spreading its wings, stretching, and something like three and four! That's all I heard! The prince seemed very excited!"
That’s all for today!
Keep asking for recommendations!
