Chapter 307: Time Passes Once You Enter the Jianghu (End of this Volume)

The vast and gigantic ancient red dragon, amidst the misty mountains of the south of the Yangtze River, lowered its eyes to look down at the people on the top of the mountain. Their faces were as pale as paper, immersed in the shock and impact of seeing such a huge creature.

Mohist master Pan Wanxiu was stunned for a long time.

Lei Laomeng next to him took a deep breath and said, "I really want to go there."

Pan Wanxiu asked: "Where are we going?"

Lei Laomeng thought carefully, and then answered: "From here, go south for 3,700 miles to the territory of Chen State, then go down the river, pass three city crossings, and go north for 700 miles. There are many mountains there, and there is a villa in the mountains, called Shenshou Villa."

"There is a ancestral hall in the three courtyards inside."

"I'll go in and say something to the statue in the middle of the ancestral hall."

"You get off and I'll take it."

Lei Laomeng took a deep breath and murmured, "My ancestor never had the experience of riding a red dragon."

"They must be so jealous they want to crawl out of the ground."

Pan Wanxiu shook his head helplessly.

The other people all had different feelings. Gongsun Huai looked at the gigantic ancient red dragon and murmured, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really wonderful. If such a huge spirit carries a super-giant machine, it would be like attacking a city..."

"No, it's a super-organization at the military level."

"That's wonderful. That's wonderful."

Shi Dalin, the leader of the seven old ghosts under Lin, stared straight into the mouth of the ancient red dragon.

"Shenlong, give me some saliva!"

"Ambergris is a top-grade elixir!!!"

"I, I, I, I kneel down in front of you!"

He was originally just a doctor passed down from generation to generation in a village, but he was forced into a den of bandits because of corrupt officials. He never expected that he would have such an opportunity and fortune. Shi Dalin began to think about how much benefit it would have if the dragon sprayed a spit on him and poured it on medicinal materials.

Pan Wanxiu's mouth twitched: "Are the people in Tiance Mansion so strange?"

Farmer Xu Tiange sighed: "Yeah, I think so too."

Mohist Pan Wanxiu looked at Xu Tiange, thinking that there was finally someone more normal around him, and said, "Master Xu Tiange, why are you going to the Western Regions this time?"

Xu Tiange asked: "Old Pan, why?"

Pan Wanxiu answered honestly: "My lord said that we might need to build a city to go to the Western Regions. The Western Regions are dry, with scarce water resources and strong winds and sand. I think the method of building a city defense is very different from that in the Central Plains."

"They said they wanted me to go there and study the city-building methods of the Western Regions first."

Xu Tiange couldn't help but said, "It's indeed the Mohist school."

"All I do all day is build a city, build a city!"

"Me? Of course I'm different."

Xu Tiange patted the bags on his body with pride, raised his head and chest, and said proudly:
"I'm going to farm!"

Pan Wanxiu: “…………”

Master Pan sighed, with an expression that said, "As expected." Xu Tiange said excitedly, "During the past few decades in Zhongzhou Academy, we have discovered some new species, such as this barley, which has a well-developed root system and can grow anywhere."

"For example, this one has roots that hold the sand in place."

"And this can store rainwater..."

Xu Tiange was in high spirits. He pulled Pan Wanxiu and shook him violently, talking incessantly about his seeds. Pan Wanxiu, on the other hand, was thinking blankly about how to build a city in the Western Regions in the future.

Mohist school, agricultural school.

Build cities and farm!
Farm and fight, farm and fight!

Over there, Gongsun Huaizhi was feverishly thinking about how to forge a military-grade super machine. Shi Dalin almost knelt down and offered a sacrifice - an appetite stimulant that could make saliva secrete in large quantities, hoping that the dragon would sneeze at him.

Ancient Red Dragon: “…………”

He looked at Li Guanyi and said, "Your Tiance Mansion and Qilin Army are indeed full of talented people."

Li Guanyi smiled helplessly.

Only Fan Qing sat there calmly.

The back is straight.

This general, who was one of the first generals of the Qilin Army, had now reached the realm of the fourth heaven. He had originally reached the third heaven before the battle to pacify Jiangnan. Over the next year or so, Fan Qing took the initiative to serve as the person to test drugs for the [Seven Old Ghosts Under the Qilin].

His own martial arts skills were greatly improved, reaching the late stage of the third level.

Also because he was once born in the Motian Sect.

After the leader of the Motian Sect, Ximen Hengrong, arrived in Jiangnan, Fan Qing treated him as a master and a disciple. Ximen Hengrong sighed for a long time, then taught Fan Qing the Motian Sect's secret martial arts, "Motian Martial Arts Canon", and helped him cleanse his meridians, break through the barriers, and reach the fourth level.

But he also said frankly that Fan Qing was over 30 years old after all and had spent several years in prison.

If there is no opportunity, the fifth level will be the limit of his foundation.

Fan Qing has a firm mind and is one of the best generals in the entire Qilin Army at training troops.

The ancient red dragon looked at these people and spoke in a slow and calm voice: "Forget it, forget it, it's your chance, come up now."

As they spoke, a gust of wind blew and pulled everyone up.

To prevent Gongsun Huaizhi, Lei Laomeng, Xu Tiange and others from seeing the Red Dragon and turning back to take more machines, exotic beasts, luggage and the like to the Western Regions, the Ancient Red Dragon laughed helplessly: "You treat me as a packhorse to help you carry your luggage."

"How bold."

"Sit tight."

Li Guanyi and Yaoguang sat on the dragon's head. The young man looked into the distance, feeling faintly excited. At this moment, he heard a melodious sound of a piano. Li Guanyi paused slightly and lowered his eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from.

"Aunt..."

"Boy, get ready."

The voice of the ancient red dragon sounded.

Along with the dragon's roar, the clouds flowed and changed, rising in height in an instant. The sudden feeling of overweight made everyone pause for a moment, and then strong winds and clouds blew in their faces. Everyone could only try their best to hold on to the dragon scales near them.

I was afraid of being blown away by the strong wind.

boom! ! ! !

But only a dozen breaths passed, and the endless clouds dispersed.

The sight in front of everyone suddenly opened up, the clouds rolled and unrolled, and the boundless clouds were right below. The sun shone, and golden ripples were like waves. Everyone was stunned for a moment, just looking at the flowing clouds, speechless.

How magnificent.

In Murong's house, the sound of the piano stopped. Murong Qiu Shui pressed the strings of the piano with his palm and looked at the mountain. The wind was rising and the clouds were surging. It seemed that a dragon shadow was rising into the sky accompanied by thunder. He was absent-minded for a long time, and the lingering sound of the piano slowly dissipated.

Murong Longtu said: "My child wants to leave, but there is nothing I can do."

Murong Longtu only had the strength of one sword left, and because the whale fishermen would also be going there, he did not go to the Western Regions with Li Guanyi this time, but stayed in Jiangnan.

There is another reason.

When the sword maniac Murong Longtu left Jiangnan, everyone would immediately think of Li Guanyi's whereabouts. They would immediately remember that Li Guanyi was not in Jiangnan at the moment, which would be detrimental to Li Guanyi's progress.

This second reason was what Li Guanyi used to convince Murong Longtu.

He hopes that the old man can enjoy his old age in Jiangnan.

Murong Qiushui's slender fingers pressed the strings of the zither, and the sound was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate. He said to himself, "Guan Yi grew up beside me. In the past, when he didn't have such strong martial arts and such means and abilities, he was often by my side."

"At that time, I was taking care of him and a lot of things happened in a hurry."

"I was not very old at that time, and he always made me very anxious."

"Sometimes when he caught a cold and had a fever, he would only fall asleep if someone held his hand and stayed by his side. If he woke up and found no one was there, he would cry and make a fuss."

"It's giving me a headache."

"I always think that everything will be fine when he grows up."

"Now, he has grown up, has great martial arts skills, and has more and more people around him. The time he spends with me is getting less and less."

"It makes me miss the time when he was younger."

Murong Qiushui stared at the sky, lost in thought for a long time, and said, "Really, I grew up in an instant. Only when I look back can I understand these words. These past ten years have really been a blur."

Murong Longtu asked, "Can't bear to leave the child?"

Murong Qiushui laughed out loud, and said slyly: "Grandpa, we are children of the rivers and lakes. Parting is just a habit. It's just that I was moved at the moment. I can't bear to leave."

Murong Longtu looked at her with a gentle and kind expression.

The smile on the aunt's face, which was cunning and calm in front of Li Guanyi, gradually collapsed. Before watching Li Guanyi and the others leave, the woman, who had never revealed any flaws, lowered her head and pressed the strings of the zither with her white hands.

She whispered, "I don't want him to leave."

"But we can't stop him."

“It’s really a mess.”

The sound of the piano was chaotic and interrupted.

She choked up and said, "Really, I can't bear to let go."

………………

The ancient red dragon raised its head and soared into the sky, with gusts of wind surrounding it. It left the Jiangnan area at an exaggerated speed. Everyone was a little amazed and dazed. Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and looked there. The sound of the piano fell into the wind and soon disappeared.

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes for a long time, then looked away, looking towards the more distant world.

Lei Laomeng murmured, "I want to write a book and tell my younger disciples that I have such good fortune. It is really worth dying for it."

The ancient red dragon deliberately rushed into the wind, and the strong wind blew into everyone's sleeves, as if it would blow them away. This scared them so much that they didn't dare to say anything more. They just held on to their scales tightly, afraid that they would fall and fall into a heap. Their bodies were stiff.

Li Guanyi and Yaoguang sat on the dragon's head, which was a special permission from the ancient red dragon.

The dragon's beard was slightly raised, Li Guanyi sat cross-legged, and the silver-haired girl sat facing the wind. The silver hair on her temples and forehead were blown back and hit Li Guanyi's cheeks, revealing the girl's smooth forehead and delicate face that did not look like that of a human being.

Yaoguang opened her mouth, and the wind poured into the girl's mouth. The silver-haired girl's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she made a low sound as the wind blew:

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The sound was so faint that it could not travel far before being blown away by the wind.

Only Li Guanyi heard it.

Li Guanyi couldn't help but chuckle and protect Yaoguang from falling. This time, they were the only ones riding the red dragon. There were also two other non-staff members, Lao Siming and Whale Fisherman, who chose to go on their own.

The relationship between the whale fishermen and the ancient red dragon is not good. The ancient red dragon allowed Li Guanyi to ride because they had an alliance between them. It allowed Lei Laomeng and others to ride because in the eyes of the eight thousand year old ancient red dragon, Lei Laomeng, Nangong Wumeng and others were just insignificant creatures in the clouds and the passing of time.

The whale fishermen are different, and their levels are different. The ancient red dragon is stronger than the whale fisherman, but they can barely be considered at the same level.

The whale fisherman lives a long life.

And there is no alliance with the ancient red dragon.

The nature and dignity of the ancient red dragon would not allow such a person of the same realm to step on it. After the whale fisherman failed, he tried to seduce Yaoguang, hoping that the silver-haired girl would go with them.

After Yaoguang refused, the whale fisherman came several times and secretly "threatened" Li Guanyi. After being discovered by Yaoguang, perhaps because Li Guanyi had split a small part of the formation before, Yaoguang regained some of her emotions.

Yaoguang seemed to have a slight emotional fluctuation of anger.

Facing the whale fisherman who, after drinking, has a heart as hard as stone and a face as strong as a wall, he is indestructible.

The silver-haired girl didn't show any expression at that time. She just opened and closed her lips and said two words:
"Big brother."

Demoted from father to eldest brother.

The whale fisherman turned pale, his faith collapsed, and he ran away.

He didn't see the expression on the silver-haired girl's face. The old Siming had no choice but to tell Li Guanyi to go first. With their skills, they could easily find them, and then go to the Demon Sect together.

Old Siming smiled and said, "In the Demon Sect, the grudges and hatreds from more than ten years ago, or even several decades ago, or three hundred years ago, should be settled."

"Fishermen are good at formations, and they will probably prepare some extraordinary things this time."

"Just relax."

Li Guanyi recalled the old Sima Ming's words and gazed at the sky in the distance. The sky was calm, but the clouds were rolling and the waves were surging. Looking around, there was no obstruction in all directions, inside or outside, and the view was extremely broad, which made people's hearts surge.

Li Guanyi clenched his fist.

Western Regions.

World!

………………

Western Regions Demon Sect.

"Is this the place where Huyan Jixuan died?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded slowly.

Saint Maiden Long Han'er lowered her head like everyone else and did not dare to look.

He just said respectfully, “Yes.”

"Grandmaster Huyan Jixuan seemed to have been fighting with Qin Wuhou from Jiangnan, and was attacked by his luck."

The man said to himself, "Although Huyan Jixuan is from the Western Regions and is arrogant, he also has real skills. Hundreds of years ago, during the Wu Gu Rebellion in the Central Plains Dynasty, the fortune-telling and Wu Gu sects were scattered to all directions, and he inherited the fortune-telling tradition."

"I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have fought with that old man from the Yin-Yang family."

"Each of them has some advantages."

"Now he has even broken through to the ninth level of the heavens and his martial arts are extraordinary. Even I have to respect him. How could he be killed so easily?"

"It's really amazing."

"Jiangnan Qin Wuhou."

The voice seemed to laugh, and said slowly, "My good son-in-law."

“You really have the ability.”

Long Han'er lowered her head and said, "Master..."

In this secret and boundless place, one of the core areas of the Demon Sect, everyone knelt. Standing there was a woman wearing an elegant robe and a veil on her face. Just by looking at her clear eyes, which were often smiling, one could tell that she was the most beautiful woman in the history.

The leader of the Demon Sect said, "We will deal with Huyan Jixuan's body. However, this place has the accumulated luck of hundreds of years of followers of our Demon Sect. It is probably not safe to keep it here. We should find a way to move it away."

But another voice retorted: "No!"

The person who spoke was an old man with broad shoulders, a bald head, and Western-style tattoos. He said, "The formation here has been in existence for hundreds of years, and the accumulated luck of the people is extremely heavy. But once it is moved, it will surely be dispersed."

"By the time we move out, I'm afraid we'll have to lose 30%."

The Demon Sect leader said: "It is better to lose 30% than to be swallowed up completely."

The old man said, "It's just that the local elder has died. Besides, although Qin Wuhou has skills, can he be more powerful than the South China Sea whale fisherman?"

"Master, your mistress didn't even find this place back then."

"How could a little kid find it?"

The old man stared at the peerless beauty with an unkind look.

The leader smiled and said, "That does make some sense."

"But it's really unheroic of you to say such things to a weak woman like me."

"If I had the ability, I would say these words to the fisherman, point at his nose and say that he is my mistress. That would be considered a great courage."

The bald old man's tone paused.

The leader grasped it gently and said:

"Do the rest of you have any ideas?"

There was a female elder named Wu Xuefei who said, "Qin Wuhou is the prince of the world, the head of Jiangnan, and the uncrowned king. Once such a person gets angry, everyone will know about it. His actions will be like a tiger entering the mountains and forests, or like a dragon flying in the sky. There will definitely be changes."

"It will take at least three to five months to get here from Jiangnan, going back and forth between Ying State and Chen State. By then, we will definitely receive news, and it won't be too late to make plans based on the situation."

"It's not like he would arrive right away and go straight to where I'm waiting."

This proposal was a compromise, so all parties agreed to it.

The Demon Cult leader said calmly: "It's just as you said."

Wu Xuefei smiled and said, "This place is one of the three great treasures of our Holy Religion. There are many gold and silver treasures, martial arts secrets, and luck. There are already hundreds of masters hiding here. The surrounding towns and villages are also our believers."

"Within a hundred miles, wherever there are people, they all know the name of the Holy Church. They are all our spies. Some of them are from the underworld, some are beggars, some are serfs, and some are even just ordinary people."

"But they all think of our goodness."

“Even if you don’t have food or drink, you must give us the gold and silver.”

"They are all our eyes and our ears."

"Even a martial arts legend cannot kill all of these people."

"Someone will always be able to escape."

"However, speaking of it, the second son of the Duke of Ying State, Li Zhaowen, seems to have appeared again..."

………………

The golden-winged Peng bird flapped its wings and circled in the air, then folded its wings in the afternoon sun and landed in a large and luxurious palace room. Then it fell like a falling arrow, with a hand wearing a deerskin protective gear stretched out.

The golden-winged Peng bird folded its wings and landed on the arm.

Rubbing the man's palm very intimately.

Someone pushed the door open and came in, saying in a gentle voice, "Young Master..."

The man laughed and said, "I've already told you, when no one is around, just call me Erlang, Wu Gou, you're still so fussy about etiquette."

Changsun Wugou said: "I dare not."

Over the past two years, this sister of Changsun Wuchou has become more gentle and beautiful, with a graceful figure. She is an extremely outstanding beauty, and countless people envy her. Given her family background, if she had not been protected and brought into the mansion by the second young master of the Duke's Mansion who liked to ride horses and fly eagles, she would have been noticed by some young master and taken in as his concubine.

Changsun Wugou raised his eyes to look over there. Although it was not the first time he saw it, there was still a look of surprise in his eyes.

This is the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and there are no outsiders. The 'Second Young Master' would only dress like this when he is in his own courtyard. He is wearing loose clothes, and because he has just bathed and changed his clothes, his black hair falls down to his waist, his skin is fair, and his sword-like eyebrows fly slanting into his temples.

His eyebrows are flying, with the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and there is a golden vertical mark on the center of the eyebrows, which is invaluable.

She has a tall and plump figure, with her eyes lowered and smiling, and an eagle's wings flapping on her arms.

The heroic spirit and the charming intention are unparalleled in the world.

Like a phoenix from the sky, falling to the earth.

But I wonder who can actually see such a stunningly beautiful woman with their own eyes?
As Changsun Wugou was thinking, Li Zhaowen untied the letter, glanced at him, and smiled slightly, "Li Guanyi is coming."

Changsun Wugou thought of the young Jinwu Guard in Jiangzhou City two years ago.

Now he is the world-famous General Tiance.

Changsun Wugou knew about the letter Li Zhaowen wrote to Li Guanyi, but she was surprised and delighted that Li Guanyi, with his status, could come here so easily.

Thinking that the Second Miss was not only troubled by the Regent and the Dangxiang Kingdom, but also by the Duke and the Eldest Young Master's criticism of her, if Li Guanyi could come, it would be a relief. He said:
"Did he agree to come?"

Li Zhaowen let the golden-winged Peng bird fly up and said with a smile: "Then why not come? The Western Region is one of the two most critical places in the world. For Brother Li, it is the most critical place in the world right now."

“Once you get it in your hands, it will be like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven.”

"It's just that I seemed to have made an appointment with him that day..."

Li Zhaowen seemed to remember something.

Zhangsun Wugou had come over and tied up the hair of Li Zhaowen, who was sitting down freely. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "What's the agreement?"

Li Zhaowen paused while flipping through the military book, then smiled and said:

"Probably, if he comes."

"I will show him my true face."

Zhangsun Wugou, who was combing Li Zhaowen's hair, paused when she heard the words, and the comb in her hand trembled. Her face turned slightly red and hot just by hearing such words and her soft nature. She couldn't help but admire in her heart that the Second Miss was worthy of being the Second Miss.

Such words are spoken so freely.

While Changsun Wugou was combing Li Zhaowen's hair, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the bright mirror over there. The mirror reflected Li Zhaowen's face, with his dragon-like and phoenix-like figure, and his extraordinary beauty. However, there was a hint of blush on his cheek.

Just a hint of blush is enough to touch the heart.

Changsun Wugou's movements paused slightly.

Li Zhaowen looked at the vast sky outside.

The world is in turmoil and unpredictable. The States of Chen and Ying are in conflict, while Jiangnan is prosperous. The Regent State of Dangxiang is competing in the Western Regions. Lu has the forefather Yuwen Lie galloping on the battlefield. Scholars are coming out of their academies and scholars are entering this world!

In the vast desert, there are sounds of camel bells.

A white-haired guide waved a whip. On the camel, a young man with purple eyes lay there, holding a wine jug in his hand. Po Jun and this original guide set foot on the desert again. The sky and the earth were vast. The young military advisor smiled and said:
"Haha, my lord, we will come to this Western Region after this."

"I will wait here. I will go find Qibili and the Golden Scimitar Cavalry first, and then manage everything. I will stay here and wait for the lord to come."

"When the lord comes, he will definitely be moved beyond measure!"

"Hold my hand and say I am the strongest counselor and wise man."

"Hahaha!"

The young strategist was very happy after drinking the fine wine from the Western Regions. The white-haired guide rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, "Just don't let the same thing happen again like two years ago."

Po Jun took a sip of wine, put the wine pot on his waist, and then played the Western Region-style huqin, singing freely and unrestrainedly, handsome and unparalleled, singing freely and unrestrainedly: "The moon rises over the western sea, and the wind blows from the border!"

"Across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the vastness is endless!"

The voice was free and unrestrained, in harmony with the desert, the sky, and the camel bells. Even the old guide had to say that this was a rare talent in the world. At this time, the handsome young man said, "Hahaha, so and so."

"Yaoguang, Yaoguang, how are you going to defeat me?"

"How are you going to win?"

Old guide: “…………”

But there was nothing we could do.

This is what this great talent Po Jun looks like.

The red dragon roared in the sky, and Yaoguang was in deep thought.

The silver-haired girl shrank back and leaned into Li Guanyi's arms.

Because he had to take into account people like Lei Laomeng and Shi Dalin who had weak martial arts skills, Chilong slowed down his speed, but still arrived in the Western Regions before dusk. Li Guanyi looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds and felt open-minded.

Western Region!

World!

Having left the south of the Yangtze River and entered the Western Regions, the world is undergoing a myriad of changes, and Li Guan has achieved just one of them!
The boy clenched his fist.

Entering the Western Regions.

However, when he rushed into the Western Regions, the Nine Cauldrons in his body suddenly changed.

Whistling incessantly.
