Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

early morning.

The royal residence.

After Zhao Xu had breakfast, Dong Chu pulled him out.

They wandered around the city and enjoyed the scenery of Xiangfan.

At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that although he had been to Xiangfan City many times, he was completely unfamiliar with it.

Every time he came, he stayed in the Wang's house to practice, and the only things he had seen of the city were a fleeting glimpse when he passed by.

Wang Dongchu followed Zhao Xu and said in surprise, "I don't know why, but Xiangfan City is much clearer today!"

"Really?" Zhao Xu didn't say much.

When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.

Those masters above the first rank would have noticed the changes last night.

These people were very "cautious". They knew that there were masters showing their divine power and saving the souls of the dead, so they stayed at home and did not dare to come out to find out.

I thought, if I displease the master, that would be very bad.

Last night, only Qi Xianxia and Liuzhu Bodhisattva dared to come out to check and see Zhao Xu.

It is a good thing that all the dead souls have left, and Xiangfan has eliminated a major hidden danger.

After receiving this news, those in power in Xiangfan City finally put their worries to rest.

At the same time, these people were also wondering who this master was.

During this period, Qi Xianxia from Mount Longhu and Liuzhu Bodhisattva from Nalanda Temple were both at Diaoyutai. I wonder if they knew anything.

The news they received was that after last night, the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva had left, leaving only Qi Xianxia behind.

But this Taoist Priest Qi just stayed at home to rest and ignored others.

All forces can only leave people behind to monitor and see if they can find anything.

Among these people, Wang Quanlin knew clearly that it should be Zhao Xu who took action.

Wang Dongchu took Zhao Xu on a tour.

Shouyang Lake, White Snake Dike...

One after another, she told us about these places, including which ones had the best scenery and the celebrity stories about them.

Obviously, Dongchu has been preparing for this day for a long time!

time flies.

In the afternoon, the two came to an alley where many rich young men and scholars were active.

However, Wang Dongchu did not bring Zhao Xu in, but only said softly:

"There is a Xiangguo Well in this alley, it is quite famous!"

After saying this, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she took Zhao Xu and left quickly.

Zhao Xu understood and smiled gently.

There are two famous alleys in Xiangfan City, and Xiangguo Lane is one of them.

No city is lacking in this land of gold and silver.

Everyone in the city knows that the charming women of Qingzhou all live in Xiangguo Lane.

In the middle of the alley, there is the famous White Jade Lion Tower.

There lived a man named Li Baishi, "whose voice was the best in the world and whose appearance was the best in the world."

It is said that if another review of rouge is published, this top-ranked person will definitely be on the list.

Pass by in a hurry.

Soon, the two came to another alley, where many scholars in blue shirts were playing chess.

"I think this must be Yong'an Lane!" Zhao Xu guessed without waiting for Wang Dongchu to introduce it.

"Exactly!" Zhao Xu could guess it, and Wang Dongchu was not surprised. The characteristics here were very obvious.

There are many wild chess players sitting against the wall in the alley.

These people bet different amounts based on their own chess skills, in an attempt to lure chess enthusiasts or passersby who are eager to try their hand at chess to place bets and gamble.

Of course, the stakes are generally not high, and people will save face and not lose everything.

Zhao Xu took a quick glance and quickly set his sights on a young man who looked like a down-and-out student.

The young man's gambling was much better than others. There were ten chess pieces on an empty chessboard, and if he lost one, he would get ten times the compensation.

With just one glance, Zhao Xu recognized the man's identity: the blind chess player Lu Xu.

Lu Xu was born into a scholarly family. Both his grandfather and father were erudite scholars, and there were three outstanding people in his family.

However, when he was compiling the history of Western Chu State, he was framed and his entire family was almost harmed.

He had no choice but to stab his own eyes and cut off his future in order to barely save his life.

Now, he makes a living by playing chess during the day and playing the piano in the brothels in Xiangguo Lane at night.

This person has outstanding talents, a gentle personality, and is grateful. He is someone worth investing in.

Zhao Xu did not approach him directly, but left with Wang Dongchu calmly.

……

late at night.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the moon in the sky is getting rounder and brighter.

Zhao Xu, dressed in white, flashed in the city.

As the location changed, we arrived at the Shouyang Lake where we had been during the day.

Qi Xianxia is already waiting here.

"Little Taoist Priest, you're here very early!" Zhao Xu said with a relaxed look on his face.

At this moment, Qi Xianxia only held a peach wood sword.

But people feel that the grass and trees under his feet, the lake behind him, etc., are all his swords.

The rumor about Qi Xianxia that I don't hold a sword but I have millions of swords is true.

"I heard that you, sir, have made great achievements in the two western countries with your swordsmanship. I feel deeply honored to see you today!" Qi Xianxia was a little excited.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You'll see him later!"

Then, his face turned slightly cold:

"But now, we still have to deal with some uninvited guests first!"

After saying that, Zhao Xu snorted.

Soon, there was some movement not far away, and then everything fell silent again.

Qi Xianxia was slightly surprised, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile:

"It seems that these people really want to know the identity of the young master, but..."

"I don't want them to know yet." Zhao Xu chuckled, and then said, "Don't worry, those dog-skin plasters are just unconscious, don't worry about them!"

"Well!" Qi Xianxia sighed.

Soon, his face was solemn, and he bowed and said, "Please!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu also became serious and replied, "Please!"

This is the respect between swordsmen.

Qi Xianxia raised the peach wood sword lightly, and a sharp sword intent emanated from it. The surging sword energy immediately transformed the wooden sword into a magic weapon.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu nodded slightly and then extended his right hand.

The next moment, a ball of lake water floated in front of Zhao Xu.

A cold energy surged out, and in a moment, an ice sword took shape.

Sensing this bone-piercing chill, Qi Xianxia couldn't help but ask, "What kind of skill is this?"

Zhao Xu danced lightly with the sword in his hand, and then said: "Mysterious Ice Power!"

"What a powerful Mysterious Ice Power!" Before he finished speaking, Qi Xianxia had already launched an attack.

The long sword shook, and the cold and murderous sword energy surged out like an overwhelming force.

"Not enough!" Zhao Xu shook his head slightly, then swung the Ice Sword gently.

With the guidance of Qi, the sword energy condensed and flew out from the sky.

Qi Xianxia's sword energy was like meeting a king. It dissipated in an instant without causing any waves.

Although they are both sword energy, the difference is obvious and can be seen at a glance.

"Young Master's swordsmanship is truly amazing. The Immortal Hero admires you very much!"

After saying this, Qi Xianxia unleashed his full sword intent, gathering all the true energy in his body and condensing the sword energy into the peach wood sword.

He now understood that there was not only a huge gap between him and Zhao Xu in terms of cultivation, but also a huge gap in their comprehension of sword intent.

He decided to use his strongest sword.

"drink!"

With a light shout, Qi Xianxia united his sword and attacked Zhao Xu with a desperate momentum.

"it is good!"

Seeing this sword that was wielded with determination and fearlessness of life and death, Zhao Xu felt that it was worth watching.

Faced with such a promising talent, he decided to let him see what a master of kendo is.

The ice sword suddenly melted.

Zhao Xu put the two fingers of his right hand together and used them as a sword.

Hit the attacking peach wood sword head-on.

"Ding!"

With a loud and silent sound, Zhao Xu's fingertips released an extremely powerful sword energy, which directly shattered Qi Xianxia's sword energy.

Followed by.

"boom!"
