Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 334 A rain, a cold
The fate card of the Spring and Autumn Period was shattered, and the Rakshahai Kingdom naturally knew that she had passed away, and the whole country was shocked. After all, she was a strong man in the Wuxiang Middle Realm, and he was the successor of the Killing Dao.

But when the masters of Luochahai searched for Tongxiang City according to the route Chunqiu had traveled, they found nothing unusual, not even Chunqiu's body.

In the end, everyone stayed in front of the small river in the hills for a long time, and only found the remnant breath of Spring and Autumn, nothing else strange.

Luo Chahai had someone to suspect, but there was no evidence. The investigation was deadlocked for a while, and then he went to Lingyuan Pavilion in Tongxiang City to investigate and collect evidence.

It is known from some practitioners that Chunqiu finally got the Lingyuan flower in the auction, but it is impossible to find out who auctioned the Lingyuan flower.

Not only did the old shopkeeper disappear, but even the auction of the Lingyuan flower was not recorded in the book.

Gu Zhiyue returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Inside Jianyan Cave, green and white air enveloped the figure, and the figure in red sat cross-legged quietly, his sleeves were scorched by black blood, revealing his pure white arms.

A strange black pattern appeared on the skin of the arm, which was caused by the black blood spit out by Chunqiu, but nothing unusual appeared for a while.

The counterattack of a strong man in the middle stage of no phase is indeed not something a practitioner of the first stage of no phase can resist, and Gu Zhiyue is lucky to be able to save his life.

Nian Li stood guard outside the cave, and the constant aura fluctuations in the cave made him more and more worried.

Gu Zhiyue was in seclusion for a long time. Summer passed and autumn came, and the autumn rain fell with a chill, but it was blocked by the source formation, forming a huge rain curtain.

Although the autumn rain was blocked, the chill still permeated every corner of the mountain.

Some disciples wanted to go out to get wet in the rain, but without the master's orders and formation cards, even Pei Qiuhan and Jing Lu couldn't get out.

They haven't seen the outside world for several years since Tang Ge took over as head coach.

There is a restriction placed by Gu Zhiyue on the Jianyan Cave, no one can easily disturb him, Nian Li went to the bank of the big river in the autumn rain, looking at the meandering river, he suddenly felt strange.

The source array can block all things, why can the water of the great river flow out?
Ye Fu came out of the thatched hut, saw the boy by the river, and said with some joy, "Boy, why are you here?"

"I have seen Master."

Nian Li saluted earnestly, then clasped his palms, a cold light flashed like a shooting star in the night, and said: "Master said that there is a sword array in Kunlun Mountain that is tailor-made for You Tianjian, is it with you?"

Ye Fu was startled, then nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, it is, but the danger is extremely high. Your current behavior may damage your foundation."

Nian Li said calmly: "The disciple broke through to the Qianyuan Realm within three years, and the hardships he has gone through are unmatched, so... please enlighten me, Master."

Ye Fu said helplessly: "You are already a leader of the younger generation in Kunlun Mountain, why are you so eager to improve your strength?"

Nian Li glanced at the winding river and said, "Uncle, isn't this world a place where strength is respected?"

Ye Fu's heart trembled slightly, suddenly thinking of that young man in red back then, he couldn't help but felt a sense of sadness, thinking that your apprentice really looks like you.

"Come with me."

Ye Fu turned around and walked towards the thatched cottage, Nian Li smiled faintly and followed.

……

……

An autumn rain washed away the dust in Chaotian City, and the temperature dropped instantly.

Hai Qing'er has already left Chaotian City.

Ji Qingyun stayed behind closed doors in Qinglong General's Mansion.

Ning Zhiqiu and Meng Jinfan's injuries are more serious, and it is estimated that it will take a longer period of time to recover.

The blue-haired man walked into the Pavilion of Swordsmanship in the rain, glanced at the eaves and trees in the rain, and randomly chose a bamboo chair and sat cross-legged on it.

His whole body glowed with saber light, like a barrier to keep the rain out, and this seemed to be more helpful to his cultivation.

Inside the room, Ning Zhiqiu sensed a strong saber energy, first startled, then smiled, and did nothing.

Meng Jinfan walked out of the room holding an umbrella, his breath was weak, his face was pale, and he came in front of the blue-haired man.

"who are you?"

"Yuan Che."

"The descendant of Yi Futian?"

"Ah."

"Let's fight."

"Can you still fight in your current state?"

"Then wait for me to recover."

The first sentence and the last sentence were both spoken by Meng Jinfan. He returned to the room to continue healing, and Yuan Che did not open his eyes from the beginning to the end.

Chaotian City has not been haunted by ghosts for four or five years. This all stems from the sudden disappearance of the Holy Lord, which has also made this city that has been passed down for countless years stable for a long time.

Naturally, the move to heaven is much easier, at least without the disturbance of ghosts. Huishi Hall in Xuanwu District also closed a few years ago, and now the front door is covered with dust, washed away by the autumn rain.

The Empress retreated, and all the affairs of the Great Zhou Empire were handled by the little princess Nian Zhiling. Her methods were no worse than the Empress, so that there was no chaos in the empire.

But in the eyes of practitioners, she is always a weak woman.

The autumn rain stopped at dusk, and the sky turned red. Without anyone noticing, Nian Zhiling climbed up the stone tower on Shengxiang Street by herself.

If anyone saw it, their jaws would drop in shock, because this weak woman climbed to the top of the tower without hindrance and met the mysterious tower guard.

……

……

The corner on the top of the tower is covered by shadows all year round, and the tower keeper is in the shadows all year round.

Nian Zhiling's brocade clothes and noble temperament are incompatible with the environment of the stone pagoda, but there is a natural state.

"who are you?"

The tower guard was a little surprised, and only spoke after looking at it.

Nian Zhiling said: "Nian Xi is my sister."

The tower keeper was silent for a moment, then said: "Then you are also a member of the Nian family. Seeing that there is no aura in your body, why did you come here?"

Nian Zhiling said calmly: "Everything in the world cannot be seen clearly with just a pair of eyes."

The tower keeper said: "You have something interesting to say, and you are very similar to a person."

Nian Zhiling raised her eyebrows and did not ask who it was, but said: "A few days ago, I wanted to order the demolition of this stone tower, but one night you didn't knock the wooden fish, so I gave up the idea."

The tower keeper said disdainfully: "No one in this world can tear down the stone tower, even your sister can't do it, you are so naive."

Nian Zhiling smiled slightly and said, "That's why I came to find you in person."

The tower guard said, "What's the matter?"

Nian Zhiling asked: "Why didn't you ring the wooden fish that night?"

The tower keeper was silent for a while, and said, "Would you believe me if I said I forgot when I fell asleep?"

Nian Zhiling smiled lightly and said, "Of course I don't believe it."

There was a sigh in the darkness, and after a while the tower guard said: "Well, a man came to me that night, and I chatted with him all night, only to realize that I forgot to ring the wooden fish at dawn."

Nian Zhiling asked, "Who is it?"

The tower keeper said, "I can't say it."

Nian Zhiling said, "It must be said."

In the darkness, there was a faint light in the tower guard's eyes, and he said calmly: "Even if the empress comes, even if she wants to kill me, I can't say anything."

Nian Zhiling frowned, staring fixedly at the blurry figure in the darkness, and fell silent.

After a long time, the afterglow of the setting sun was swallowed by the darkness, and the night sky after the rain was extraordinarily clear, with stars shining in the sky, blending with the lights of thousands of families in Chaotian City.

Nian Zhiling's shadow was lengthened and fell into the darkness. She suddenly said: "You are not afraid of that person, why do you want to keep his secret, even if you don't want to reveal his identity?"

The tower keeper sighed and said, "I don't believe in heaven or fate in my whole life, but I believe in him."

A strange color appeared in Nian Zhiling's eyes, and at a certain moment, he suddenly smiled indifferently, and said, "When You Ming forced you to take over the position of tower keeper, did he ever say anything to you?"

The tower guard was stunned, and said in surprise, "How do you know this?"

Nian Zhiling said: "You don't need to know this, you just need to answer my questions."

The tower guard remained silent again for a longer time, and finally said: "Everything in the world is interconnected and interdependent. The sky-facing stone tower is also the East China Sea Jieshi."

Nian Zhiling's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Could it be that the secret of the stone pagoda has something to do with the shore of the East China Sea?"

The tower keeper said calmly, "Maybe."

……

……

Nian Zhiling left the stone pagoda, but no one noticed. After that, she never left the Daming Palace for half a step, and occasionally went to sit in a secret room deep in the palace.

After experiencing several autumn rains and enjoying several snow scenes, when spring came again, Nian Zhiling leaned on the promenade outside the hall, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance.

With the magnificent scenery of the country and the avenue of martial arts, she sighed for a while, only feeling that life does not seem to be much fun.

The Kunlun Realm was still so quiet. Nian Ruyin killed a few people and then disappeared without a trace. General Yeyuan and General Honglian returned from the southern land to return to their orders, and then left Chaotian City to act separately.

God Liuyun will be restricted and still imprisoned in Daming Palace, Nian Zhiling dare not attack him lightly.

Kunlun Mountain is still closed by Yuanzhen.

Some clues were found about the death of Luochahai's murderer Chunqiu, pointing to Kunlun Mountain, and it was also related to the mysterious Snake King Valley lineage.

But they couldn't get in Kunlun Mountain, and they didn't see anyone when they went to Snake King Valley.

Yunjianzong and Tanlangdian seem to have reached an alliance, on the surface to deal with Nian Ruyin and Kunlun Mountain, but no one knows about the private transaction.

In this way, time flies again, spring is gone, summer is coming, autumn is passing, and winter is coming, all the injured have recovered, and the dead have turned into dry bones and dust.

Five full years have passed since the incident at the Lishen Stream in the Daxue Mountain. When the winter snow stopped, a red shadow passed through the source array and entered the Kunlun Mountains.

In front of Jianyan Cave, Nian Li stretched out his hand, and the blood sparrow landed on his hand, with a strange aura in his blood-red eyes.

Not long after, the blood sparrow flew away, Nian Li turned around and said to the cave, "Senior sister, a meteor fell by the East China Sea, and a mysterious cave came into the world."

After a long time, a voice came from Jianyan Cave: "Get ready, we will go too."
