Beijing, Chang'an.

The first ray of light in the morning broke through the horizon and illuminated this most virtuous city in the world.

A horse came from the east side of the inner city. The man on the horse wore a golden crown and a scarlet robe embroidered with fish and dragon. He had a handsome and masculine face. There was a simple brown sword hanging on the side of the saddle.

Who is it if it’s not Xia Qiu Dong?

"In the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city, the prince dismounts!"

Immediately, Xia Qiudong took out a gold medal from his waist and raised it high above his head.

There are four words engraved on the gold medal.

"The king will not stop you"

"I am the waiting officer, Yulongwei, commanding the generals in the summer, autumn and winter. I have been ordered by your majesty to leave the city!"

The leader of the city guard team saw this and hurriedly evacuated the city guards. Then he took a spear and knelt down.

This order is the highest order of passage in Dali. Seeing this sign is like seeing the emperor in person.

Xia Qiudong didn't look at them, and looked firmly ahead, looking at the morning glow.

Inside the Qiankun Hall.

After the Yellow Silk Case, the new Emperor Kangxi sat on the throne as always, and Zhao Ying, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, still stood respectfully, with his head slightly lowered.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Xia Qiudong was kneeling on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"The Celestial Palace in Luojing Mountain has been released. The Zunsheng Jade in the hands of the three families in Jiangnan Dao must be obtained. If it is the royal land in the world, that Celestial Palace must also be mine!"

Three years ago, the Luojing Mountains in Liuyun Prefecture were shaken, and the mountains collapsed, causing numerous casualties among the people. Qiyun Guantian Master Lingyun Taoist, who originally led his disciples to Yuzhou to encircle and suppress the white-haired devil, learned about this and couldn't bear the disaster for the people.

So I immediately went to find out.

Unexpectedly, I brought back shocking news.

The collapse of the mountain revealed a black city buried deep inside, its shape indescribable.

During this period, it was just like a human city, with busy traffic and a steady flow of people, but it was filled with statues, dead silence, and strange.

The only thing that was functioning normally was a huge flying sword surrounding the towering building in the center of the city.

It's unbelievably majestic, but that's all.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and soon the news spread to the rivers and lakes, and then throughout the world, countless people rushed to Luojing Mountain in Liuyun Prefecture.

According to the book "The Strange Tales of Heaven and Earth" collected by Ju Dali:

There is a city in the sky, called the Heavenly Palace. The sun and the moon live on it, and immortals come and go in it. It stands in the sky and the earth and has existed for eternity. It cannot be said that it has been a long time.

It has been unknown for a long time, the war is raging in the sky, the sun and the moon are separated, the real immortals are raining down, the heavenly palace sinks into the sea, it is called the falling whale, and no one can know it.

At first, the Hanlin Academy students who were annotating this book thought it was a myth, but when the rumored city actually appeared, people remembered this book of strange tales.

What really shocked the entire world was the appearance of the Sword Valley of Daohe, which was engraved with countless secrets and secrets of the Heavenly Palace. Countless people from the world and famous sects came here, trying to occupy a place for themselves and their sects.

Jiangnan Road, Lingzhou City.

Everyone suppressed the urge to go up and beat him up and looked at the sloppy middle-aged man with rosacea and a smile on his face.

"Let's go, let's go. This man is a famous lunatic in Lingzhou City. I wouldn't be surprised even if he said he was the emperor."

Several people gathered around to leave the incomprehensible fortune-telling stall of a slovenly middle-aged man, but his voice came from behind.

"Who is mentally ill? I am also very good at psychiatry!"

When Wei Zigeng listened to the strange words in his mouth, he felt that this middle-aged man was even more confused.

"A person with a sword like that should never be like this."

Looking at the distant figures, the slovenly middle-aged man with a rosy nose had deep eyes.

Border Town Villa, Shifu.

The huge mansion is hidden in the rolling Dangyang Mountains, and the base camp of the most mysterious espionage organization in the world, the "Lip and Teeth Sword", is located within it.

"Where's my dad?"

The young man was wearing a black robe with complicated patterns, his face was stern, like a knife, his eyes were sharp, and he was holding a Yan Ling knife that was only two feet long in his hand.

He is an inconspicuous young man, and there are few rumors about him in the world.

But the sword in his hand has a great reputation.

The current master of the Divine Calculation Hall, the Divine Fortune Teller Wei Wuyang, once ranked number 13 on the list of famous swords in the world, and was later added to the list of 13th on the list of famous swords in the world. This Yanling Sword was impressively listed. It beheaded 76 people in a battle in the desert, and ranked 10th on the list of famous swords in the world.

Third, the name of the sword is Gu Yanzhi.

The boy who was being stared at was trembling, his lips were trembling, his head was bowed deeply, and he did not dare to say a word.

Does he recognize this person?

What a joke, how could he not recognize this person?

The young man in front of me is named Shi Chongji, the eldest son of Shi Mu of Border City Villa. He is ruthless and murderous. He is one of the most skilled killers of Border City Villa and the sharpest knife in Border City Villa.

"With...with the second young master...in the study."

After hearing this, Shi Chongji's eyes became even colder, and the veins in his hand holding the Yanling knife bulged.

"knew."

After saying that, he walked towards the study. The boy behind him had sweat on his forehead.

"How am I inferior to that nerd!"

In the study, a tall and burly man stood with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black robe and the scars at the corners of his eyes were shocking. In front of him was a young man who looked like a frail scholar. His temperament was in sharp contrast to the middle-aged man.

"Chongyu, I would like to hear your thoughts on the recent events in Jiangnan Road."

Shi Chongyu, the second son of Border Town Villa, was smart and smart since he was a child. When he was young, he was accepted as a registered disciple by Liang Shu of Huze Academy who traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. He taught him the art of warp and latitude and game theory. Later, he traveled around the world with him, and finally worshiped in Qingyang Prefecture Confucian Temple.

He entered the family of Liu Ziyuan, a sage from the sage lineage.

Shi Chongyu unfolded his folding fan, and the sandalwood scent lingered on the desk. The breeze blew by, and the young man smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was holding a winning ticket.

"The Heavenly Palace of Luojing Mountain was born. Each of the three families in Jiangnan Dao holds a piece of Zunsheng jade that is said to be able to open the gate of heaven. When there is no certainty that the gate of heaven can be broken, these three pieces of Zunsheng jade are the best attempt. Whether it is true or not, Jiangnan Dao

Things will definitely change."

Shi Chongyu drank a cup of tea, while Shi Mu stood and he sat. But in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with this, and it was even natural.

"The teachings of the saints are weak and have accumulated shortcomings, and cannot be reused. They are controlled and cannot be disturbed. Pinghu Villa has the strongest financial resources in the world. Half of the world's taxes come from Jiangnan, and half of Jiangnan comes from the Cheng family. This is what the court needs, so at least

They are safe recently. Our Border City Villa has always kept a low profile. Coupled with the special nature and the chips we hold, Border City Villa is impregnable. On the other hand, Jiangnan Villa is in danger."

Shi Chongyu shook his head and left some free time for Shi Mu to ask questions.

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

Shi Chongyu nodded with satisfaction. He enjoyed his father's inquiry very much.

"The world's silk comes from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan silk comes from Yang County. Even so, it still can't change the fact that he has been weak for a long time. Yang Bofan, the old head of the Yang family, has withdrawn from the world for many years. The eldest son Yang Qiyun has become a minister, but who doesn't

Knowing that the Ministry of War has always been the confidant of General Fu Daohua, he will not be able to stay for a long time. The emperor of the Li family is suspicious by nature, so he will not let him stay for a long time. As for Yang Nuying, the head of the Yang family? What if she had married the banished immortal back then?

, Jiangnan Road will not be divided into half by Pinghu Villa. Persimmons have always been soft and easy to handle. If the imperial court really makes a big move, Jiangnan Villa will be the first to bear the brunt. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for the time being."

Shi Mu nodded, with a smile on his face.

"Yang Qiyun didn't know that, but he didn't expect that even the old head of the Yang family would take his eyes off that old man Yang Bofan, a sword cultivator who entered the upper three realms from Hedao, actually allowed his eldest son to drive him into a madman. That was because of

Hedao enters the upper three realms! The monks and warriors in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are not a few in the upper three realms. How many people can enter the upper three realms from Hedao? In the former Yan King Jicheng, the immortal Li Canglan was banished, and now in Yuzhou City

The disciples of True Lord Taixuan of Yuyulou are all people who are expected to achieve the immortal realm. If we can grasp Li Canglan, we in Jiangnan will not be so passive, and perhaps we can compete with the imperial court like Yuyulou."

What is Hedao? One transforms into three, and three transforms into a thousand. This is the walking and running of a child, which is cultivation. And the three thousand return to their origin and transform into one, the great road is simplified to the extreme, and the innocent heart and clear state of mind are regained. This is the Harmony of the Dao.

Cultivation, no matter whether it is a martial artist or a monk, moving from the middle four realms to the upper three realms is not achieved overnight. The water overflows the high plate, and the plate is oneself. In addition to the accumulation over time, the next step is to cultivate the mind. The state of mind is the only thing that coordinates the cultivation.

There is a torrent between the Middle Fourth Realm and the Upper Three Realms, called Hedao. Someone found another way and chose to build a bridge on it, leading to the Upper Three Realms. However, this bridge was washed away by the water over the years.

After all, the foundation is unstable and collapses, and some people choose to fill up the ditch so that they can return to the upper three realms at any time even if they abandon their cultivation. This is the way to become an immortal.

A few days ago, the news that the only direct disciple of Zhenjun Taixuan of Yuyulou had entered the Hedao realm spread quickly throughout Jianghuai and Huaihe. In addition, there were a lot of people coming and going from three religions and nine streams in the Jianghu inn, and the whole Jianghu was almost boiling for a while.

Thinking of this, Shi Mu was even more heartbroken.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door. Shi Chongyu suddenly sat up from his seat, put away his folding fan, and stood in the darkness. Shi Mu frowned.

"Come in."

With a "squeak", the door opened inwards. Shi Chongji held a two-foot-long wild goose feather sword in his hand, looking at Shi Chongyu in the shadow, and then lowered his head and saluted Shi Mu respectfully.

"father."

They were originally brothers from the same mother, but due to different living environments, their personalities were also very different.

Shi Mu sighed and said:

"Come in, sit down, and pour yourself some tea."
