Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 24
Chaotian City is huge, and so is Suzaku District.

Within a ten-mile radius of Tang Ge's house, in addition to Zhengyang Street, there are Jiangshan Road, Yueyang Street and Zhiyi Lane.

There are a total of 120 three residences and 72 commercial tenants. Among the 72 commercial tenants, there are mainly three large restaurants, seven small inns, five blacksmith shops, and three medical halls.

These shops are mainly concentrated in Jiangshan Road and Yueyang Street, while Zhengyang Street and Zhiyi Lane seem a bit deserted.

After living here for so many days, Tang Ge also gained an in-depth understanding of the surrounding environment.

After leaving Daming Palace, Tang Ge went to Qinglong General's Mansion without staying too long or talking too much, and took Ning Zhiqiu back to his home on Zhengyang Street.

Before leaving, Tang Ge told Ji Qingyun that next time the Empress summoned him, he must secretly bring himself with him, and he would lurk into the Daming Palace to do something.

Without the covetous eyes of the empire, Tang Ge also has less troubles and obstacles, but right now there is a thorny thing in front of him.

The clue to find the mountain owner was broken.

But it's not in a hurry.

According to what Shangguan Yin said, he should have deduced the approximate location of the Mountain Lord, but because of some illusory reasons, he kept silent, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

On Fang Zhongyu's list for Tang Ge, he has already met two of them, Shangguan Yin is a party member, and Su Miaomiao is Su Hongyu.

Su Hongyu is her real name, and Su Miaomiao is her name in Chaotian City.

Now there are only three names left in the list given by Fang Zhongyu.

Yan Yi
Bai Qianchi

薛儒
Tang Ge lay on the bamboo chair, his eyes slightly closed, and fell into deep thought. These three names kept floating in his mind, until at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, like the first sunshine after rain, with a flash of sharpness. color.

Ning Zhiqiu put away his sword in the courtyard, walked up to Tang Ge, and said with a smile on his face, "It's easy now, without the pursuit of the empire, I can finally live a peaceful life."

Tang Ge said: "Have you ever heard of the disciple of Rakshahai Sword Immortal? What realm is it?"

"Sword Immortal's disciple?"

Ning Zhiqiu thought for a while, and said: "It is rumored that the Lord Sword Immortal did accept a disciple many years ago, and he passed the trial of the Shura Sword Formation in Luochahai, at least he must have the Sunshine Realm."

"Sunshine Realm? It's hard to beat him"

Tang Ge's voice was very small, but Ning Zhiqiu heard it all, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at him, shocked: "You are crazy, you are only in the right mood, he is two years taller than you realm!"

Tang Ge said: "I know, but there is no way, the empress asked me to do it, otherwise we would not be as free as we are now."

Then he got up suddenly, stared straight at Ning Zhiqiu, and said, "You are now at the Tengyun Upper Realm, and you are only one chance away from setting foot on the Sunshine Realm, do you want to break through?"

Ning Zhiqiu's eyes showed eagerness, and he said quickly: "Of course I want to!"

Tang Ge took out a page of paper that he had already prepared from his arms and handed it to Ning Zhiqiu, saying, "You are more familiar with Chaotian City than I am, so prepare two copies of everything written on it."

Ning Zhiqiu looked at the words recorded on the paper, and his face froze a little bit.

Sword Meteorite.
Baby of Sword Heart
Nine Turns Ivy
Ink crystal.
Xuanhuang Paste.
They are all rare things, and some things can even be said to be rare. Ning Zhiqiu looked at Tang Ge with shock in his eyes.

"Although these things are very rare, there are indeed some for sale in Chaotian City, but they are very valuable."

Ning Zhiqiu gradually came back to his senses, and spread his hands helplessly. He had no money, and Tang Ge's bounty from Princess Qi was running out.

"I have to trouble you to go to Fang's mansion again, and Fang Zhongyu will give you the money."

It was only at this time that Tang Ge realized that this wealthy friend who knew Senior Brother Pei was really good.

Ning Zhiqiu froze for a moment, then grinned and nodded emphatically.

Tang Ge said again: "By the way, if Fang Zhongyu needs our help with anything, come back and tell me, you can't always owe people favors."

"okay."

Ning Zhiqiu quickly walked out of the house, and ran towards the rich man's house that was beyond rivals.

Tang Ge looked at the sky and exhaled. His strength was a little weak, and it was time to break through.

……

……

While Ning Zhiqiu was collecting those materials, Tang Ge once again went to the neighbor's house diagonally opposite.

On the grass covered with light mist, Gu Qiu seemed to have never left. He maintained the posture of holding the chess piece, staring at the squares on the chessboard, a pair of dark blue eyes sparkled with inspiration.

Tang Ge walked over without any hesitation, sat down on the opposite side, glanced at the chessboard at will, but couldn't move anymore.

On the chessboard, there is heaven and earth between every square inch. The black and white chess pieces are intertwined, as if turning into black and white rays of light, intertwined vertically and horizontally, forming a huge and incomparable net, covering the world, and Gu Qiu is the master of this world .

Every move of chess seems to be extraordinarily difficult. Most of the time, the chess pieces in Gu Qiu's hands stay in the air, as if he is thinking about how to determine the world with one move.

And with every step he took, Tang Ge could faintly feel that the big net seemed to be getting tighter.

Gu Qiu lightly placed the sunspots in his hand on an intersection point on the chessboard, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and the whole chessboard began to vibrate slightly. Several black and white chess pieces jumped like ants on a hot pot. Then, just for a moment, those black and white chess pieces returned to calm in Tang Ge's eyes.

"You came."

Looking at the calm chessboard, Gu Qiu nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at Tang Ge with a soft smile on his lips.

Even though Gu Qiu was sitting across from him with a harmless smile, Tang Ge's eyes remained calm, and he said, "I forgot to ask last time, how long have you lived here?"

Gu Qiu thought for a while, and said: "In the past, I was unwilling to be lonely. I traveled around the rivers and lakes for several years and never settled down. Then I came here for about seven or eight years."

Tang Ge stared at Gu Qiu with sharp eyes, and asked, "What did you do before?"

Gu Qiu said calmly: "It was just a random person in the mountains, so it's not worth mentioning."

Tang Ge asked again: "The world is so big, why did you come to Chaotian City?"

Gu Qiu looked straight at Tang Ge, with no abnormal expression on his face, and said, "You should know about the battle in Chaotian City ten years ago, right?"

Tang Ge was slightly moved. The scene of the Juggernaut fighting against the Zhuxian formation seemed to be in sight. After a moment of silence, he said, "So what?"

Gu Qiu said: "I also saw that shocking battle, so I came to Chaotian City."

Tang Ge asked: "What is the relationship between the two?"

"Everything has its own rules, why bother to get to the bottom of it." Regarding Tang Ge's question, Gu Qiu just smiled lightly and stroked his sleeves lightly.

Tang Ge's eyes fell on the chessboard again, and the black and white chess pieces rapidly enlarged in his pupils, like a starry sky, but the chessboard gradually became empty, with only a few criss-crossing rays of light turning over in the starry sky.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Mr. Guan's chess skills are as vast as the stars in the night sky, which is really rare in the world. If you are responsible for the cultivation of the Dao, for the incident ten years ago, I don't know how to look at it?"

Gu Qiu smiled sarcasticly, and said: "I'm just an ordinary person, how dare I judge the actions of the sword master, but how many people in the world are not young and enthusiastic, and they are worthy of praise for doing such things for the sake of their confidante. , it’s just a little extreme.”

Tang Ge tapped the stone table lightly with his fingers, and said, "Mr. has a unique vision."

Gu Qiu looked at the chessboard and said again: "Everything in the world can be answered within an inch of this chessboard. Why don't you consider learning how to play chess?"

Tang Ge rejected Gu Qiu, and got up and walked to the edge of the corridor.

Gu Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, staring at the chess game in front of him, inserted his fingers into the chess urn again, and picked up a sunspot.
