Chapter 1689 Tyranny

Chu Yao obediently unloaded the cart, took off Bainiu's burden, and then stepped onto the sword steps next to Bainiu.

Jiang Wang and Ning Shuangrong were in front, chatting while walking.

Chu Yao and Bainiu were behind, also walking and chatting.

The Wenjian Gorge looks extremely high, but only by walking on the sword steps can we have a general understanding of its height.

In short, Chu Yao's legs were numb from walking, and he spent the second half of the journey dragging the white cow's tail up.

After reaching the end of the sword steps, they stepped onto the rickety Tianmen Plank Road.

Although it doesn't look very stable, even if you step on it with the weight of a white cow, it won't have any impact.

At this time, the sword steps flew away again, and countless long swords whizzed away in the air, like a flock of swallows returning to their nest, but disappeared.

At this moment, standing in the middle of the Tianmen Plank Road, looking up, it seems that it is not too far from the top of the cliff, and it seems that you can climb it in one leap. But the clouds and fog were lingering, making it difficult to see clearly.

Looking forward and backward, I suddenly felt that the gorge itself looked like a sword.

And this Tianmen Plank Road is exactly at the position of the long sword's "sword grid".

It is very ingenious to climb from the "Sword Grid" to the "Jian Pavilion".

The two fortresses carved into the cliff connected by the Tianmen Plank Road are the two mountain gates of Jiange.

The name "Tianmen" also refers to this.

The northwest is called Zangfeng Tianmen, and the southeast is called Wangji Tianmen.

"Is there anything special about these two mountain gates?" Jiang Wang asked after hearing Ning Shuangrong's introduction.

Ning Shuangrong stood still, waiting for the guests to decide which way to go first: "It doesn't matter, it all depends on your mood. Whichever way you enter, it's the same as getting to Jiange. Maybe the meaning of walking through Zangfeng Tianmen is a little gentler."

Jiang Wang started to move forward.

Suddenly, a handsome man with tied-up hair came out from behind the Wangji Tianmen and raised his voice: "Enter the northwest gate to show your dignity, because you are visiting friends. Enter the southeast gate to Wuji, and you will not reject anyone who comes!"

This sentence has its own grandeur, showing that Jiange has a good foundation.

But when it came out of this person's mouth, it sounded very provocative.

Because his expression was so frivolous.

He has a pair of sharp eyes, and these eyes looked at Jiang Wang without concealment: "Wu'an Marquis can go wherever he wants. I will not refuse anyone who comes to the sword pavilion."

Ning Shuangrong said that the two mountain gates were not particular, and she did not want Jiang Wang to express his stance too early.

This person deliberately stated his values ​​in order to force Jiang Wang to take a stand.

Jiang Wangjian raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Ning Shuangrong opened her mouth to speak, but this person had already said: "I, Sikong Jingxiao, am the current chief disciple of Jiange, and I can represent Jiange's attitude."

Jiang Wang specially came to visit Jiange this time, so he knew nothing about Jiange.

Sikong Kui, who is thirty-six this year, achieved Divine Appearance seven years ago. Strictly speaking, he is considered to be the same genius as Tian Anping and others. His strength is certainly good, so he has such confidence.

He also has enough reasons to show his attitude for Jiange.

Jiang Wang smiled gently: "Then I'll go this way."

After that, he walked straight towards Wangji Tianmen.

If you say infinite, then it is infinite.

Chu Yao led the white ox and naturally followed closely behind his master.

Sikong Jingxiao looked at him deeply, but just said "please" sideways and led the way.

Ning Shuangrong said nothing at this time and just followed inside.

The gate of Wangji Castle is no different, just a simple stone arch.

Walking into the inner room, there are more than a dozen passages on both sides, leading to different rooms, from which you can probably get a glimpse of the complex structure of the Wangji Fort itself.

The faint coercion lingers, indicating that this fortress is probably capable of war.

But there was no chance to take a closer look. Under the leadership of Sikong Jingxiao, they only took the main passage.

When the long corridor came to an end, everything suddenly became clear.

They were supposed to be traveling in the mountains, but after walking out of the corridor, the group of people appeared at the foot of a towering mountain.

This mountain reaches up to the sky vertically, and most of the mountain is hidden in the clouds, so high that no one knows where to end.

There is only a winding mountain road in front of you, like a dragon and a snake winding up the mountain.

Sikong Jingxiao took the lead and climbed up the stairs, speaking with pride: "This mountain is called Tianmu. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you feel like you are outside the sky and can see the world at a glance, so it is named so. The founder of the Jiange Sect settled here, and the mountains and rivers in the world Turn around, and the inheritance of my sword pavilion has lasted for 30,000 years!"

Jiang Wang sincerely praised: "It's amazing."

Only with the new beginning of the Taoist calendar can the national system flourish. Among the countries in the world, Jingguo, the country with the longest history, only has a history of less than 4,000 years. It is certainly a very remarkable thing that Jiange can continue to be passed down for thirty thousand years. Sikong Jingxiao has enough reasons to be proud.

But if we really want to discuss it, which of the great sects in the world that can still occupy a place in this world does not have an extraordinary history? The 30,000-year history of Jiange is nothing compared to the Three Holy Lands of Dao Sect.

Climbing a high mountain is like walking on a dragon's backbone.

The two men walking at the front each have their own charm.

Behind him are the childish white ox and the beauty in green.

It was like a picture scroll for a while.

This group of people walked very fast, and Chu Yao, who could not walk very well, was also carried by a white ox.

After walking for half an hour, a huge platform was seen in front of them. The mountain is carved into a platform, which has its own splendor that cannot be found anywhere else.

At the front is an archway made of swords, with a unique shape and style. On the plaque on the archway, there are four characters with sword energy vertical and horizontal, saying "Sword Palace for all living beings".

Behind this archway are pavilions, pavilions and houses like forests. There were many Jiange disciples in the middle, fighting swords and chatting, it was so uncomfortable.

Sikong Jingxiao once again took on the important task of explaining: "If Tianmu Mountain is compared to a huge staircase, the sword pavilion actually has only three steps in total. We are now on the first step. You have also seen the name, 'Sword of All Living Beings'. The Sword of All Living Beings" , all enter this gate. The sword pavilion welcomes all swordsmen from all over the world to come here to worship the mountain."

This name is very impressive.

Jiang Wang asked casually: "I wonder which level the Heaven and Earth Sword Box is located?"

Sikong Jingxiao smiled: "That's the next level. But it's not open to outsiders."

Jiang Wang didn't ask how to make it difficult, he just said: "Going further up must be where the real palace of the sword pavilion is?"

"Yes, its name is 'Times Sword Pavilion'." Every word that came out of Sikong Jingxiao's mouth had a special tone, with a feeling of 'you are proud of it'.

Jiange is indeed worthy of its disciples being proud of.

But with 30,000 years of history continuing, who is the protagonist in this world now?

Or to be more specific, in this Jin'an Mansion in Southern Xia, whose voice has more weight?

Ning Shuangrong asked at this time: "What is Brother Jiang thinking about?"

Jiang Wang sighed: "The vast amount of information about the sect is fascinating. The 'Sword Palace of All Living Beings', the 'Sword Box of Heaven and Earth', and the 'Sword Pavilion of Time' have real meanings in them. I have forgotten to mention them!"

Sikong Jingxiao laughed loudly: "Marquis Wu'an is of the highest caliber in the world and has extraordinary spiritual awareness. Whenever I get rid of this shackles of dust and come to my Tianmu Mountain to seek the truth with a pure heart, I might not be able to become the world's best swordsman!"

This is really a bit confusing.

I don't know if Jiang Wang's gentle attitude gave him the wrong impression.

What is your identity, Sikong Jingxiao, so that you can represent Jiange to recruit princes from Qi?

Ning Shuangrong took two steps forward: "Brother Jiang, come this way!"

Jiang Wang didn't comment, he just followed Tibu and passed the archway of the Sword Palace of All Beings.

Sikong Jingxiao followed and said, "Speaking of which, there used to be a man named Liu Shentong in Qi State. I wonder if Marquis Wu An knows about him?"

Jiang Wang's pace slowed down.

In this Shantai Square, not far after crossing the archway, you can see the first building here - it should be a welcoming pavilion. Next to this pavilion, a horizontal banner hangs very abruptly. There are two people hanging upside down from the pole.

"Liu Shentong...what?" Jiang Wang looked at one of the people hanging upside down and said, "I just heard of his name."

Sikong Jingxiao did not doubt that he was there, and said to himself: "He is also the top genius of Qi State. At that time, we met overseas and killed some sea tribes together. He admired me very much and said that he would learn swordsmanship from me. It's a pity..."

This was a pity but was actually a boast, but Jiang Wang didn't react at all.

After all, Liu Shentong was also the legitimate son of a famous family in Daqi, so how could he want to learn swordsmanship from Sikong Jingxiao? When Liu Shentong was alive, the Fufeng Liu family had not yet completely declined, and he himself was extremely talented. How could he not find a real master? Thinking about it, even if the two of them did have contact at first, Liu Shentong could only be polite and say some polite words like asking for advice when he is free.

This Sikong Jingxiao was bragging here simply because Liu Shentong had been dead for many years and could not talk back. The original intention may be to overwhelm Qi State.

Just to show off this power, he still had to pick and choose a dead person. He didn't dare to mention Tian Anping who killed Liu Shentong, nor did he dare to mention Chen Zeqing and Ji Zhaonan.

Don't say what Sikong Jingxiao said is unbelievable, even if it really happened.

Jiang Wangnai was undoubtedly the number one in his age group in the Qi Kingdom. At Liu Shentong's time, he was at the same level as Tian Anping. Even if you, Sikong Jingxiao, were really stronger than Liu Shentong back then, who could you possibly suppress?

The dignified chief disciple of the current sect has a small family spirit everywhere!

Seeing Jiang Wang's mediocre reaction, Sikong Jingxiao asked again: "Does Marquis Wu An know little about Liu Shentong? This is normal. After all, he was no longer around when you went to Qi State. I think back then, Fufeng Liu Shentong was... "

"Excuse me." Jiang Wang had already walked to the pavilion at this time and raised his hand to interrupt him: "Why is this person hanging here?"

Sikong Jingxiao was a little unhappy when his conversation was interrupted, and he said stiffly: "I'm sorry, these two thieves are very rude."

"Oh." Jiang Wang nodded, took two steps, and asked again, "I wonder how you can be rude?"

"I also forgot, it was nothing more than the Roaring Mountain Gate and the like." Sikong Jingxiao waved his hand: "Ignore these young men. Marquis Wu'an, please come over here. I will arrange it with you today to ask about swords. There are many junior brothers in the pavilion. Junior sister, I have also been curious about Marquis Wu An’s swordsmanship for a long time.”

Jiang Wang did not move, however: "How long are you going to hang for?"

"Maybe three months, maybe five months." Sikong Jingxiao came to his senses: "Know?"

The two people hanging upside down on the crossbar were very weak at this time, and their eyelids were drooped. There was no reaction when others approached. Let them discuss it here.

Although one of them was in a state of embarrassment, he still couldn't conceal his face as pure as white jade. He was a truly handsome man who was eye-catching in any situation.

The other one... seems to be very suitable for this embarrassing state, and even he is the embarrassing state itself. His hair was disheveled, his beard was swollen, and his whole body was weak, but he actually achieved some strange harmony with this shameful posture of hanging upside down.

They were in a state of embarrassment, but their lives were not in danger at this time. However, if it is as Sikong Jingxiao said, it will be difficult to say if he is suspended for another three to five months.

Jiang Wang stepped forward and half-crouched down with interest, facing the face of the sad-bearded man.

"Huh~"

He blew lightly.

This is a wisp of Oriental Ming Shufeng drawn up by the Eight Winds, Dragon and Tiger. Of course, it is only the wind of Taoism, not magical power, but it is more than enough to cope with such a situation. The wind only blew in front of them, and the two people hanging upside down woke up and opened their eyes together.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw Jiang Wang.

But the reaction was not the same.

After the surprise, the handsome man felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide. His body was slightly curled up, exuding a clearly visible sense of shame.

After the surprise, the decadent one lazily closed his eyes again, as if he thought he was dreaming. But he soon opened it again, and those lifeless fish eyes suddenly burst out with intense energy!

"Yo!" Jiang Wang looked at the familiar dead fish face hanging upside down in front of him, and said in a frivolous tone: "We haven't seen you for so long. The legendary flying swordsman has collapsed like this?"

Then he turned to look at the handsome man next to him: "Brother Bai, why are you here, next to this loser?"

Of course he knew both of these people.

One was Bai Yuxia, the genius of the Yue Kingdom whom he had seen on the river viewing platform. He admired this man for his pure character and proud character.

The other one is his friend whom he has not seen for a long time. He is the only contemporary successor of Kendo who can lie down and never sit down.

Bai Yuxia suppressed the feeling of weakness and shame, and managed to speak out: "It's embarrassing to see an old friend in such a situation. Please help Brother Jiang to inform the Bai family of Yue State. Bai will be richly rewarded in the future."

Xiang Qiang said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Put me down quickly. If the younger ones can't beat these grandsons, then the older ones will come. Just say a few words to them and you'll almost kill me!"

Jiang Wang was still smiling happily, reaching out to untie the two of them, and facing forward: "Remember the last time we were separated, what did you say to me? How majestic? The sword from the east slashes the door of life and death... tsk Tsk tsk, goodbye has become a hanging man!”

"Wu'an Hou, please stay here!" Sikong Jingxiao reached out to stop him at this moment: "We all have to follow principles in our behavior and actions. You come to pay homage to the mountain, just pay homage to the mountain. How to deal with these two young men is my Jiange's business. , I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for outsiders to interfere. You just let people go at this time, but where do you put the rules of my sword pavilion?”

"Sikong Jingxiao!" Jiang Wang stood up suddenly, casually pushed the untied clothes forward behind his back, and faced Sikong Jingxiao directly, his eyes sharp like sword light: "I have tolerated you for a long time! You! Now shut your mouth, ask the sword, and don't arrange for anyone else, it's just you!"

His finger almost poked Sikong Jingxiao's face: "You heard right, it's you!"

Sikong Jingxiao seemed to have the air of not changing his face even after the mountain collapsed in front of him. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "Can Marquis Wu'an of Qi State be so domineering?"

Clang!

Sauvignon Blanc had already been unsheathed, and the surge of sword energy directly drew a deep ravine on the ground.

Jiang Wang held the sharp blade in his hand, and for a moment he shot into the sky with murderous intent: "Now! Immediately! I want to discuss swordsmanship with you! If you don't choose a venue, then it will be here! Today I must show you what it means to be a tyrant." !”
