Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 2
"This is 1000 taels of gold. Thank you Mr. Tang for saving your life."

Tang Ge thought about the heavy package in his hand, and there was the sound of gold and stone colliding inside. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Princess Qi gave a gentle smile, stroked the head of the child beside her, and said, "How can a mere 1000 taels of gold compare to the kindness of life-saving?"

A mere 1000 taels?Tang Ge thought to himself, you rich and famous families really don't take money as money. To me, this is a huge sum of money.

Tang Ge looked at the timid child next to Princess Qi, smiled slightly, and said: "The little prince has a good foundation, and he can practice martial arts. Given time, he might become a big shot in the martial arts world."

Princess Qi glanced down at her child, and then said: "I think Mr. Tang is also a martial artist. I don't know what sect he is from?"

Tang Ge said: "I'm just a casual cultivator with a meager state, so I can't talk about a master's inheritance."

Princess Qi said: "Mr. Tang is too modest. Many famous doctors are helpless to treat the child's injury. You can cure it in an instant, which is a testament to your ability."

Tang Ge smiled, changed the topic, and said: "This place is located at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the environment is bleak, and it is rainy season. The little prince has just recovered from a serious illness. It is time to recuperate. The princess should leave here as soon as possible."

Princess Qi said: "I don't know where Mr. Tang is going? If we go along the way, we can go together."

"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother the princess."

Tang Ge declined Wang Hao's invitation, and before the latter could speak, he left with his sword box on his back.

"This kid doesn't know how to appreciate praise!"

Watching Tang Ge leave, the lieutenant Yue Wuque, who had not said a word, shook the Xiuchun knife in his hand, feeling a little angry.

Princess Qi smiled lightly, said nothing, and gently stroked the head of the little prince. The little prince looked up at his mother, showing an innocent smile.

……

……

This world is called the Kunlun Realm.

Kunlun Mountain may also be named after the Kunlun Boundary.

Kunlun Mountain is located in the west land, and it is a place where martial arts flourishes. There are many martial arts masters in its sect. Tang Ge is a member of Kunlun Mountain sect, but he is not among the masters. Six words can describe him.

Low realm, high seniority.

In the past, there was a great master in Kunlun Mountain, who was called the sword master by the martial arts world, but he fell under the Zhuxian formation in Chaotian City ten years ago.

This battle shocked the entire martial arts world. The Juggernaut dared to fight against the Zhuxian Formation, which made the whole world terrified. Although he died in the end, his reputation will last forever.

The fall of the Sword Master was a huge loss to Kunlun Mountain. From then on, Kunlun Mountain completely broke away from the Great Zhou Empire.

However, due to the disappearance of the master and the fall of the Juggernaut, the strength of Kunlun Mountain was greatly reduced, and the mountain had to be closed for ten years to recuperate.

Ten years later, a disciple of Kunlun Mountain passed into the human world for the first time, and this person was Tang Ge.

Chaotian City is located in Zhongzhou, and it is the most prosperous city in the world. This is the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Empire, the land of palaces, with a population of millions, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going every day. Among them, there are many practitioners in the martial arts world.

In this world, martial arts practitioners have a far higher status than ordinary people, because they determine the pattern of the world.

Chaotian City is huge, with a total of twelve gates in the southeast, north, and west. When Tang Ge appeared outside the Liyang Gate, it was several days later.

On the official road, people came and went. Tang Ge was a little strange and curious about these things, but he tried his best to maintain an indifferent appearance and walked at a leisurely pace.

Dressed in red, he stood out a little in the crowd, but for this huge city with a population of one million, he was quickly submerged in it.

Under the Liyang Gate, Tang Ge stopped where he was, looking at the majestic city for thousands of years, the majestic atmosphere rushed towards his face, and the majestic and tall city wall declared its sovereignty.

The vermilion gate stands proudly, with heavy guards from the Liuyun Legion on both sides.

Tang Ge stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly scanned the surroundings, and he was about to step forward. At this moment, his eyes suddenly turned and fell on the city wall next to the city gate.

There were several mottled traces of different shades on the city wall. When Tang Ge's eyes fell on those traces, he clearly felt that there was a profound and mysterious sword intent in them.

That sword intent was both familiar and unfamiliar, and those mottled sword marks fell on his pupils, giving him a faint tingling sensation.

Looking down, there is a word engraved under the sword mark.

"ten."

Tang Ge withdrew his gaze, trying to calm down the uncontrollable disordered emotions. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he stared at the ground quietly. It was not until a long time later that he raised his head and stared at the "ten" again.

Eighty or ninety out of ten.

Ten taels of gold.

It is also the tenth of Yama in the Ten Palaces.

What does the ten here mean?Why does it contain such a domineering sword intent?
Those sword intents seemed familiar to him.

It seems to be deeply engraved in the mind, lingering.

I want to be a better sword-questioner, and then find the mountain master, and then find the secret in myself.

Tang Ge thought so and walked towards Liyang Gate.

In the crowd not far behind, a young man with a sword on his back appeared. He was wearing a blue shirt and looked at Tang Ge's back, thinking thoughtfully.

As soon as he entered Chaotian City, he was greeted by loud and lively voices. Tang Ge was not used to it, so he quickened his pace unconsciously.

In a certain teahouse, Tang Ge chose a seat by the window on the second floor, watching the tea leaves floating in the water, feeling uninterested.

Not long after, he put down his teacup, looked through the window at the street below, and saw the figure of a swordsman in green shirt gradually submerged in the crowd.

Tang Ge now has 1000 taels of gold, which is enough for him to buy a house in Chaotian City, but the question is where to buy it?

Chaotian City is majestic and vast, and it would be extremely difficult to manage if unified. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou, four areas were re-divided, each named after the four holy beasts in mythology.

Qinglong District

Baihu District

Zhuque District

Xuanwu District

Tang Ge had a deep understanding of Chaotian City when he was in Kunlun Mountains. After some weighing, he chose Suzaku District.

He walked into a quiet street in Suzaku District.

The suddenly quiet environment made Tang Ge a little uncomfortable for a while, but he liked it very much.

There are not many residents in this street. Occasionally, pedestrians will pass by the street. Tang Ge walks in it carrying a sword box and a package containing 1000 taels of gold.

Tang Ge stopped quietly in front of the door of a small but elegant house. There was nothing in front of the door. The door was locked with a red copper lock. His eyes moved upward, and his eyes were fixed on the plaque.

Speaking of it, it is not appropriate to call it a plaque, it should be called a chessboard.

At the place where the plaque should have been hung, there was a square chessboard with white lines on a black background, and several black and white chess pieces were scattered on the chessboard.

There are twenty white pieces and nineteen black pieces, more like an unfinished chess game.

Tang Ge didn't know how to play chess. He stopped at the door for a long time. The door was open, but he couldn't see anyone. He was wondering whether to go in.

"never mind."

Tang Ge continued to walk forward, and stopped a few feet away. On his left was a quaint small house. There was a wooden board next to the stone lion at the door, and it was written "Auspicious house for sale". words.

A gleam flashed in Tang Ge's eyes. He glanced back and found that the house with the chessboard was just across from it.
