Night Tales

When Wei Jiang came late to the competition arena, the competition was about to start, and the two warriors had already stood still in the ring.

"Hey, who is that woman, why have I never seen it before?" Wei Jiang asked the guard beside him.

"Returning to Your Highness, this woman came to the martial arts field last month. She has been fighting outside for a month. Today, she entered the Tianzi Pavilion. I heard that she is very powerful. She has fought hundreds of battles without losing a single one."

"Oh, that's right." Wei Jiang Chi looked over to the field, only to see that the woman had a dark complexion, sharp eyes, a burly figure, and a coarse cotton and linen coat covered with patches.However, although he is burly, compared with the big mountain, he is still a little thinner.

"Send a message to Dashantou for me, he won today, and reward him with a thousand taels of gold."

"Yes."

The guard agreed, and sent a message to the eunuch below, and within a few breaths, a young man ran to the arena and whispered to Da Shantou.

At the start of the competition, Dashantou made the first move, raised a sledgehammer, and rushed towards the woman. The woman got up to dodge, turned around and kicked, using seven points of internal strength, Dashantou was as stable as a rock.

Dashantou is two and a half feet wide, and has three legs side by side on the lower body. It stands in a triangle at all times, and its base is as solid as Mount Tai, so it is called Dashantou.Women also know this, so they specialize in playing.Unexpectedly, although Dashantou used a heavy hammer, his skills were not slow, both his chest and his back were airtight, even if a woman swung her sword as fast as a falcon, she couldn't find any flaws, but when the hammer hit the sword, she could not see it. It made her mouth go numb.

The woman withdrew a few feet, took a rest, and the big mountain did not pursue, and she was panting slowly.

Someone on the stage yelled "Okay!" Then the audience erupted.

The woman drew her sword and went up again, still using the trick just now.Wei Jiangchi looked bored, leaning on his back, resting his chin on his elbow.The guard came up and said, "Grandma, do you want some girls to sing a little song?"

"Okay, if you can call Xinming over and sing me a little song." Wei Jiang Chi took a sip of tea and lay lazily on the soft seat.

"Even if the little one has ten guts, he doesn't dare to disturb the saint."

Suddenly, the woman's kung fu did not stop, but her foot stepped heavily on one of Da Shantou's insteps. Da Shantou felt pain and jumped out. The woman suddenly turned the sword around, and the hilt flew towards Da Shantou's head. Hitting it on the forehead, it bounced back, and the woman caught it in her hand, and stepped back.

There was another applause on the stage, Wei Jiangchi also sat upright again, and became more focused: "Why does his foot hurt?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know."

Da Shantou was attacked head to toe, with one hand breaking his feet and the other holding his forehead, cursing: "Son of a son of a bitch, I let you in for the sake of being a woman. His mother's attack is so ruthless!"

The woman said: "Take back your dirty words, I won't slap you in the face."

"Go to your uncle." Da Shantou spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and smashed the ground with a hammer. As if receiving an order, the broken stones on the floor flew towards the woman in unison. The sword flower swayed the gravel away one after another, and the sword and stone intersected, bursting out meteor-like sparks.

"I know!" Wei Jiangchi patted his thigh: "This person used acupuncture. Although she didn't attack Dashantou's lower body, she sealed the upper body's acupuncture points. He lost the lower body, so he can naturally feel pain. You see, a lot of gravel hit Da Shantou's body, it didn't hurt or itch, Da Shantou didn't care, so he got hit."

"How does the princess know this?" the guard asked again.

"Why can't I see this little trick?" Wei Jiangchi sank back into his slump again: "It's a pity that as the eldest princess of the Wei Dynasty, I can't do whatever I want."

The big mountain kept hitting the ground, and the woman kept blocking.I don't know if it was an accident or the woman did it on purpose, a piece of gravel the size of a fist was ejected by the blade of the sword, and smashed towards Da Shantou. Unexpectedly, Da Shantou received another blow on the place where the sword hilt hit his forehead just now, Da Shantou With a sound of "Ouch", he stopped and stretched out his hand to touch the wound. The woman jumped in and slapped him on the left and right cheeks as fast as lightning.The other hand grabbed his wrist, using his inner strength secretly, and Da Shantou let go instantly. Seeing that the hammer was falling and was about to hit Da Shantou's foot, the woman raised her leg and kicked the heavy hammer out, then stepped back, pointing the tip of the sword at At the opponent's goal.

"Beautiful!" There was thunderous applause on the stage, and Wei Jiangchi couldn't help standing up.

The woman saluted Dashantou with her fists cupped, then turned and walked off the stage.

"Go, bring that girl to me." Wei Jiangchi said to the guard beside him, the guard nodded and turned to go down.Not long after, she brought the woman from just now. When the woman saw Wei Jiangchi, she knelt down on one knee and said, "See Eldest Princess."

"Excuse me. What's your name, and where are you from?"

The woman stood up and said: "The little man is called Sheng Liang, and he comes from the countryside."

"Sheng Liang, why did you choose such a name?"

"When Xiaomin was born, there was a famine, so his parents gave him such an auspicious name. Sure enough, it rained a month later."

"Haha, that's how it is, let's watch." Wei Jiang said late.

"No need, Xiaomin has been used to standing since he was a child, but he feels uncomfortable sitting down." Even though Sheng Liang said so, a young boy brought a chair over, and Sheng Liang didn't sit down.

"Then why did you come to Beijing this time?"

"Xiaomin has been traveling for a long time. This trip to Kyoto, I ran out of money. I heard that you can make money from martial arts competitions here, so I came here."

"Is there enough money now?"

"Not so bad."

"Where do you want to go next?"

"Go north, to meet the ice field and snow mountain."

"It looks like you are not young anymore. You have been wandering outside these years, have you seen anything? Or has there been any change in this world in these years?"

"This..." Sheng Liang thought for a while, but he didn't want to say any more.

"But it's okay to say, I know that the Wei family has been corrupt over the years, and the people must be in dire straits."

"To tell you the truth, princess, the folks have been in dire straits for a hundred years. 19 years ago, millions of troops fought against other lands, and they were all wiped out in the night. Constant wars began in the mortal world. Some big sects who originally hid in the deep mountains and old forests began to move. , wanted to overthrow the imperial court. Later, the heavens issued a decree and gave those sects a place for promotion every three years, so the chaos of the cultivating sect was calmed down. After the national teacher came to power, the people's lives improved."

"Bold, how dare you say the words of the judge!" The guard scolded, and at the same time drew out his saber and pointed at Sheng Liang.

"Hey, put down the knife." Wei Jiangchi ordered, and the guard put away the knife and stood up.

"Are you the only one who thinks this way, or does everyone in Liming think this way?" Wei Jiang asked Sheng Liang lately.

"Nowadays, there is a lot of support for the National Teacher. They are talking about the National Teacher in private."

"Your Highness!" the guard said, "The reason why the common people say that the National Teacher is good is because the National Teacher keeps sending people to publicize it among the people. Now even the gentlemen in the school are bought by the National Teacher. The national teacher's wolfish ambition is clearly revealed. , Your Highness must not be bewitched by his demonic words."

"I have my own reasons. You, give her 1000 taels of silver and send her out."

"Your Highness!"

"Didn't hear clearly?" Wei Jiangchi's tone suddenly turned cold, the guard dared not disobey, agreed, and said to Sheng Liang, "Come with me."

Sheng Liang thanked Wei Jiangchi before leaving with the guards.

It is said that ten years ago, Luo Ying's mother took Luo Fei back to Luo Village, and Luo Ying married Li Minghao, the son of the previous suzerain Li Xuanwei.At that time, Luo Ying felt that the task was completed, so she abandoned her husband and went on a trip, and finally returned to Luo Village.In less than a month, internal strife broke out in Xia Mountain, which lasted for eight years. Li Minghao dragged his broken body to find Luo Village. It was not long before Luo Ying learned that she was pregnant.Now she gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a daughter.

After passing Wuwang City, the first thing that stands in front of them is a mountain range running from east to west——Qishan Mountain.If any army wants to attack the night environment, it is the best choice to march along the Qi River at the foot of Qishan Mountain.Qishan Mountain is gentle and rich in products, and there are large rice fields underneath.It not only feeds the soldiers and civilians of Wuwang City, but also is one of the main production areas of court tribute.

"It is said that after the death of the emperor, Lu Guiyi, the national teacher, took control of the government and sent the second prince, Wei Yanzhen, to Qishan. Instead of saying that the surname is Wei, it is better to say that the surname is Lu."

"This Qishan has always been guarded like this, is it forbidden to go in and out?" Fuyu asked Lu Chengxi.

"That's not true, but I think that Wei Yan Zhen usually does not work hard in training, and one day he will make a big move."

"I've seen this big move in the near future."

"The more chaotic the world is, the more beneficial it will be for other forces. The Western Demon Realm has just established a new king, who is said to be the son of Emperor Qing, and you have to call him Old Ancestor."

"Qingdi has been passed down to me for so many generations, and there is not much blood left, let alone her son, where is the wild ancestor?"

"Qingdi's bloodline is stronger than Wengong's, and her bloodline will always be the mainstream among the descendants. Otherwise, your temper and character would not be so similar to hers."

"I'm not as horny as she is. A male animal wants to fuck."

Lu Chengxi suddenly remembered the unethical relationship between himself and Emperor Qing, and quietly dared not speak.

A few people were walking, and suddenly felt something strange behind them. When they turned their heads to look, they saw dozens of soldiers riding straight towards them from a distance on horseback.

"Who are they?" Fuyu asked.

"It's irrelevant, it has nothing to do with us."

When the group of people approached, the leading officer sized him up and said, "So it's Mr. Lu, but I thought it was another group of thieves stealing mines."

"The Mine Thief"

"You don't know, the Qishan Mountain is not very peaceful these days. The mine thieves have come in wave after wave, and they can't be killed. I heard that it is related to the western region. There are not many mine thieves in Xiashan. It may be Qi Shan's turn next. Mr. Lu has always been well connected, if you know this news, you must inform us in time."

"Lu has a lot of dealings with spirit bandits. If the general asks Lu where there is a spirit bandit village, Lu can tell me something. This is the western region, so there is nothing I can do to help."

"Hey, it's okay, Mr. Lu is always well-informed, so please pay attention to us."

"Naturally, the business of Wuwang City still depends on the general's care."

"Young master, go slowly, and wait for your good news." The general said, leading the people and galloping towards the original road.

"What are they digging the spirit mine for?" Fuyu asked.

"Let me tell you a secret. Above the capital is where the Heavenly Palace is located. The nine mountains in the mortal world rely on spiritual energy to support the heavenly world. If the spiritual mines of the nine mountains are hollowed out, I don't need to say the result."

"Since the spiritual mine is so useful, can we also dig two shovels." Cicada said.

"Who do you think stole Qishan's spirit mine?"

"Wow, you guys are thieves." Ah Xie roared.

"Fuck you, don't you know where the spirit mine that Miss Mijia used to arrange the enchantment came from?"

"Hey, then we need to dig more. Think about how long the boundary between Yuque and Mortal Realm is, how many spiritual mines are needed to fill it up?"

"Hey, I've always been curious about your sword, let me have a look." Lu Chengxi said to Ah Xie suddenly and abruptly.

Ah Xie swapped out the personal saber and handed it to Lu Chengxi.Lu Chengxi took the sword, pulled it out of its sheath, held it in his hand and looked at it.I saw that the long sword was more than three feet long, the blade was slender, its quality was like jade, its weight was like a feather, and there was no front on its side.Lu Chengxi handed the sword to Fuyu and asked, "Does it look like the jade sword I gave you?"

"The material of this sword should not be jade. Although it is a treasured sword, I can't tell where the treasure is."

"Give it back to me if you don't see it." Ah Xie rode to Fuyu's side, reached out and snatched the sword, and held it in his arms: "This is the guy I eat."

"Where did this sword come from?" Lu Chengxi asked.

"I bought it. Although it is a precious sword, no one cares about it. I got it for ten taels of silver."

"Do you know the origin of this sword?"

"Does the young emperor know?"

"This sword is the sword of the Goddess of Order in the Heaven Realm. Back then, the Goddess of Order was executed by the Heavenly Palace in order to save the Heaven's Core. This sword was left behind."

"It's Tianhe again, what an unlucky boy. Wait, you don't want me to give this sword to Tianhe, do you?"

"Smart, the God of Destiny is a person that Tianhe values. Since this sword is her relic, it has an extraordinary meaning to Tianhe."

"Smart guy." Ah Xie said, "I won't sell it for any money, and I still want to use it to protect Miss Mijia."

"Golden ten thousand taels, you will have no worries for the rest of your life. Think about it."

Mi Jia said: "His Xi family has established itself in the night realm for more than a thousand years with a soul-devouring sword, and the money they earn can't even be spent by such a prodigal Xi Chenzhu. You have a sword with you, are you afraid you won't be able to earn money? ?”

"Haha, yes, my wife is still smart."

"Who is your wife!" Mi Jia said angrily, she originally felt that the relationship with Ah Xie was a bit shameful, let alone there were outsiders.

Cicada opened her mouth wide when she heard the conversation of several people: "It turns out that women can also be women's wives! But when they sleep at night..." Cicada said while gesticulating with her hands: "How...how to do it What? Ah!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Chengxi had already tapped him on the head: "It's a lot."

Cicada looks at Fuyu aggrievedly, but Fuyu ignores him.Hearing this, Mijia blushed even more with embarrassment.

On the other hand, Ah Xie fanned the flames: "Don't you understand? Ask your elder sister, she is a good hand. There is no woman who has slept with her who doesn't love her to death."

"Wow, the eldest sister didn't tell us!"

"Why, do you want to learn from me?" Lu Chengxi said.Ah Xie glanced at Mijia, "hehe" and laughed dryly. He didn't pay attention, and was suddenly ruthless by Mijia, kicked off the horse, and Mijia ran away with the whip.The three of Lu Chengxi were left behind laughing.

There are twelve peaks on the mountain of worship, and a temple is enshrined on each peak.Jinwu Temple is located on Jinwu Peak, the westernmost side of Worshiping God Mountain.Because every ten minutes of sunrise or sunset, the whole mountain is full of light, so the Jinwu Temple was built here.In the past year, the mountain of worship has often been shrouded in dark clouds. Lu Xinming asked for divination, and concluded that this celestial phenomenon is a sign of fading away.There are many reasons for the disappearance of the day, but Lu Xinming couldn't figure out what the reason is, so every seven days, he would come to the Jinwu Temple to twiddle incense and worship the gods, sit quietly and meditate, and today is no exception.

Surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, Lu Xinming slowly climbed up the Golden Crow Peak. When he got off the sedan chair, King Yi's palanquin was also arriving.When Wei Yan Qi got off the sedan chair, she saw Lu Xinming walking towards her, and wanted to bow her head to salute, Wei Yan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said: "Holy lady, please get up quickly."

The chief guard who followed Lu Xinming said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Yi is here?"

"Why does this king appear and need to report to you?"

The head guard hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, please calm down, and I will ask you casually. The saint made a fortune yesterday, and today someone worships the gods and wants to rob the saint. There may be a fierce battle in this Golden Crow Temple. Your Highness's golden body, if you are injured At half a point, the subordinates are unable to explain."

"Whoever is so bold and dares to do such an illegal thing at the feet of the emperor, could it be that Mr. Li is too worried."

"Hey, it's always right to be cautious."

"Recently, Your Majesty has a strange disease. When the sun rises and sets, if the sky is covered by dark clouds, you will feel pain all over your body. Your Majesty guesses that it may be because of his insincerity, which made the gods angry and punished her. I am a younger brother. I feel sorry for my brother, so I will worship the Golden Crow God for him." Wei Yan Qi looked at Lu Xinming, who nodded slightly, turned and entered the temple.

Wei Yan Qi followed in, and the god attendants in the temple saw a dignitary coming, and went up to greet him in a panic.

"Prepare a set for this king like the saintess." Wei Yan Qi said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The god attendant agreed, and asked someone to prepare another set of incense.Wei Yan Qi looked at Lu Xinming's clothes, and said with a smile: "The holy lady and the imperial sister are really affectionate, even the clothes don't distinguish between you and me."

Lu Xinming ignored him, and knelt down in front of the statue to worship.Wei Yanqi was ignorant since he was a child, and he was not interested in worshiping gods, so he followed Lu Xinming to complete a set of rituals, and bowed down like her.

After the ceremony, Lu Xinming retreated from everyone and meditated quietly.Wei Yan Qi also dismissed his entourage, closed his eyes like Lu Xinming, couldn't stand it after sitting for a while, got up and wandered, touching the statue for a while, and knocking on the copper pillar for a while.

Suddenly, a masked man in black jumped down from the beam, and grabbed Lu Xinming.Wei Yan Qi yelled: "Who dares to assassinate in the daytime." He drew out his sword and stabbed at that person.The man in black grabbed Lu Xinming with one hand, and threw a hidden weapon with the other, Wei Yan Qi raised his sword to block it, the man in black dragged Lu Xinming and was about to leave.

At this time, the guard outside heard the movement in the temple, opened the door and rushed in.The man in black had no way forward and went out towards the back door.As soon as he arrived at the backyard, countless arrows were shot from the roof, and the man in black drew out his scimitar and blocked it.The chief guard went out to the courtyard and saw this scene, and shouted: "Stop, do you want to hurt the saint?"

The soldiers stopped attacking upon hearing this.The man in black jumped up again, kicked a soldier over, and fled.Another soldier surrounded him from below.The men in black got into the crowd and fought.

"Who are these people?" The chief guard asked Wei Yan Qi.

"My king's people." Wei Yan Qi said.

"Why are His Highness's people here?"

"I heard that it's not safe here, so they ambushed themselves here."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the chief guard flew out.

When the man in black saw that the chief guard had joined the battle group, he no longer wanted to fight, and fled away. Unexpectedly, Qi Yan Qi had rushed up and wanted to arrest him.The man in black held the hostage with one hand and counterattacked with the other. Wei Yan Qi frantically resisted and was kicked away by the man in black without a few moves.During this stagnation, dozens of guards surrounded him again, and the man in black grabbed Lu Xinming's veins and said, "Get out of the way."

"Put down the saint, and spare you." The guard said.

The man in black was furious, and scratched a bloodstain on Lu Xinming's neck.

Lu Xinming shuddered in pain.The surrounding guards became even more nervous, in a dilemma.

"Lu Xinming should have such a disaster today, Mr. Li don't have to blame yourself. Go back and tell my father not to tell grandpa, if he disturbs his heart, I don't think my life will be in danger." Lu Xinming said, motioning to the man in black to take her away.

Seeing that Wei Yan Qi was injured, Wei Yan Qi's guards hurried over to help him, but Wei Yan Qi pushed them away and ordered: "Hurry up and chase?"

"Yes." The guard agreed.The chief guard said: "No need, Your Highness's health is the most important thing, and timely healing is the only thing. Thank you for your help today, and I will leave."

"Did Master Li stop saving the saint?"

"Since the saint said that she has no fear of her life, she means that there is no problem for the time being. The villain will go back and report to the Patriarch and make other arrangements."

"In that case, then wait for the good news of Mr. Li."
