Chapter 193: Inside the City Outside the City
The heavy rain was confused, as if there were endless rain curtains. The sky was lightning and thundering. An old man with a hunchbacked figure came outside Lin'an City with a cloth bag on his back.
This person is Zhao Shanhe, the old man of the Zhao family.
This person is also a legend of a generation. When he was young, he spread all over the world and supported the Zhao family, which was already slightly lonely at that time. He has been in charge of the Zhao family for decades, brought the Zhao family into a top family, and even trained Zhao Ting, who was the Minister of Shangshu, and made the Zhao family firmly among the top families in one fell swoop.
It's a pity...
He felt a little moved, and looked at the huge words Lin'an on the walls of Lin'an City, and whispered: "I have only opened Lin'an City once in my life. That was thirty years ago. In order to let Zhao Ting enter the Jixia Academy, I begged Mr. Qi for a whole month with shamelessness."
"Later, I never came to the capital again."
"I thought I would never come to Lin'an City again in my life. I didn't expect that in my twilight years, I would come again. I didn't expect that I would watch the Zhao family go from loneliness to the sky, and watch the Zhao family collapse overnight!"
The old man's voice was dull, but he felt a little sad.
Which great master in this world is not the most proud person?
It’s a pity that he has been placing the word family throughout his life.
Thirty years ago, I came to Lin'an City for my family.
Today, I came to Lin'an City again, for the family again.
The word "family" is really heavy!
Heavy enough to bend a great master.
Next to Zhao Shanhe is an old man of about the same age as him. He is different from Zhao Shanhe's hunchbacked image. This old man is in a fairy-like manner, wearing a brocade dress, holding a wolf-haired pen in his hand, and his head full of white hair, showing his master's style.
The white-haired old man also sighed and said, "Brother Shanhe, it's still time to regret it now. If he enters Lin'an City, there will be no way back!"
"I can't turn back," Zhao Shanhe grinned and said, "If I turn back, the Zhao family will not turn back. The major families of the Thirteen County of Qinghe and the major families of Hongnong Ninth Prefectures are willing to take action to help me take the Zhao family because I promised to take the lead for them."
The old man with white hair said, "The person you want to kill is the current national teacher, Wen Dao Xusheng. This is Lin'an City. It is unlikely that you want to kill him."
"I know," said Zhao Shanhe: "I used my life to exchange for Zhao Ting and Zhao Mingcheng back to Qinghe. Without me as a master, the Zhao family would be lonely for at most for a decade or two. But without them, the Zhao family would soon fall apart and no longer exist. After all, the one that keeps a family is never a force value!"
The white-haired old man sighed. Zhao Shanhe was soaked all over his body, and he was very moved.
My old friend was indeed bent by the family.
Yes, if you are in the world, you may be able to rely on powerful force to surround yourself with your powerful force, and which aristocratic family has few masters? But, in the long river of history, the submerged aristocratic families are still like crucian carp crossing the river.
"Okay," the old man with white hair stopped persuading and said, "You only have one hour. In the hands of the Sword God, I can only last for one hour at most. No matter how many, I will never have the chance to escape."
Zhao Shanhe bowed and said, "Thank you!"
The old man with white hair waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to thank for. Who told me that I owe you a life? I thought I would never have the chance to pay it back in my life. I didn't expect that when I was old, I could still hit this opportunity."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and slowly walked towards the city gate.
He was really like an ordinary old man, hunched, thin and thin, not handsome, and staggering when walking.
It was raining heavily and the ground was filled with rain.
The old man with a white-haired pen suddenly drew a stroke towards the sky.
A little black ink blends into the rain,
However, it did not fall with the rain, but was instantly soaked in the heavy rain. However, in an instant, all the heavy rain within a few miles was dyed into black ink, and then slowly rose up like smoke.
It's dark,
Only part of it has been blacked out,
At the city gate, it was very strange as if it was falling into the darkness.
Mottled and deserted, a long gray river suddenly poured down and separated, majestic and magnificent as a continuous mountain, terrifying. The river comes from the nine heavens, and also from the world, from every stroke.
This huge movement,
It naturally attracted the attention of the masters in Lin'an City.
Especially in the worship pavilion, several huge auras suddenly rose, but at that moment, a sword sounded,
It's Qin Wanli's sword,
So, the worship pavilion instantly turned into the quiet alley in the rain. The mother-in-law who embroidered the flowers continued to embroider the flowers, the old man who ate the noodles continued to eat noodles, and the gentleman who sang the books continued to sing the books.
In the courtyard,
Jiang Mu stood under the eaves with a bowl of rice, looked at the city gate, and said, "Is this so common in this world?"
Qin Wanli carried a sword box on his back and said with a smile: "This is not an unknown person. This is a world of mountains and rivers, Wu Sheng, who should be known as the immortal in the painting. This person is recognized as the master of painting among the sixteen countries in the world. He wandered around the world all his life, was very elegant, and his cultivation was unique in the world."
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "He is trying to lead you out of the city."
Qin Wanli nodded and said, "Of course, would he dare to go into the city to fight me? You don't look down on him. Although he is also in the three realms of heaven and man, he is no different from that old monk Qi Nian when he enters Lin'an. At most, I will hit him with his head and cry with his head!"
Jiang Mu smiled slightly,
Lin'an City is Qin Wanli's home court. His practice has long been integrated with Lin'an City. It can be said that in Lin'an City, Qin Wanli is almost invincible. Just like Qi Nian, who was in the Arhat cultivation, Qin Wanli broke his golden body with just a few swords and fought easily.
Now Wu Sheng obviously knew Qin Wanli's horror, so when he left the city, Qin Wanli's strength would naturally decline a lot. Although he still lived up to the name of the Sword God, he could not achieve a few swords and then kill the Grandmaster.
"Well, Dean Jiang, that old guy Zhao Shanhe obviously wants to fight for a time difference. He must have quietly gone to Jixia Academy to find you..."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Senior Qin, I also need to fight. Zhengyizheng's reputation as the Jixia Academy. Otherwise, people in the world would really think that I, the Void Saint, have a name!"
"Okay," Qin Wanli sneered: "Then I'll go and see the immortal in this painting for a while!"
After saying that, Qin Wanli suddenly soared into the sky, turning into countless sword lights and heading straight out of Lin'an City, marking traces of shocking geese in the sky.
Jiang Mu slowly put down the bowl in his hand and shook his head.
This Zhao Shanhe seems to be fighting for the death.
Jiang Mu took a step forward slowly.
A slight fluctuation appeared in the air. The next moment, he appeared on the mountain in Jixia Academy, standing on the hillside,
A state of no distance, one step to the end of the world,
On the way up the mountain, an old man was hunching over and slowly heading towards Jixia Academy.
Jiang Mu suddenly appeared,
The old man suddenly turned around, his eyes full of surprise.
Jiang Mu smiled slightly and said, "Senior Zhao, don't need to go to the academy."
A ray of light came out of Zhao Shanhe's sunken eyes, and he said in confusion: "Are you...Director Jiang?"
Jiang Mu nodded slightly and said, "It's going down."
Zhao Shanhe immediately bowed and said, "I have seen Xu Sheng."
