Chapter 2070 The Old Woman Lives Alone, and the World Is Full of Martial Arts (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Linzi actually has many memories.
Recalling the past few years before killing Zhuang Gaoxian, the few moments of flying were almost all in this city.
Because there are friends, good wine, elders, and opponents here.
After leaving Er Fengming, whom he met by chance, Jiang Wang did not go to Huaying Palace, nor did he return to Bowang Marquis Mansion. Or gather a group of old friends to drink and have fun.
The place he went to was a quiet mansion in the east of the city-
It was too deserted here. It was obviously in a bustling street, but the door was closed, and passers-by took a detour here. There were no birds flying on the treetops, and there were few carriages and horses in front of the door.
This is Qi Xiao's residence.
It's not that she was implicated because of Jiang Wang's departure from Qi. No matter how crazy and dared to scold those former Wu'an Marquis's supporters, they could never get close to the commander of the Nine Soldiers, even if she had retired.
The only reason for the coldness of this place is that she has lost her cultivation and the Xia Corpse Army, and there is no possibility of recovery.
Even if people didn't follow the red cover white, they couldn't ignore the Donglai Qi family and the new Xia Shi commander... Qi Wen, who had been suppressed by her for so many years.
When he walked to the front door, Jiang Wang let go of his sight and hearing, reappeared in people's vision and hearing, and then raised his finger to knock on the door.
Knock knock knock~
The sound was crisp and firm.
No one answered for a long time.
Knock knock knock~
Jiang Wang continued to knock on the door patiently, sending the sound into the yard without prying into the secrets of the house.
After a while, the door opened, and an old woman with no cultivation stood behind the door.
From this wrinkled face, it is really hard to tell what she looked like before.
It has only been a year since the war of the maze world... She is too old.
But when she saw Jiang Wang outside the door, her turbid eyes slightly raised, and the danger and indifference in the depths of her eyes made people feel that she was still her.
She was Qi Xiao.
Jiang Wang also noticed that she was wearing a martial arts uniform. Although she had wiped off the sweat, she tried not to make herself look tired. But the weakened Qi and blood in her body were still surging.
Apparently she was still practicing.
A woman who had aged to this extent, without any cultivation, without a single Dao Yuan in her body, and even a casual fall could break a bone... was still practicing.
The collapsed five palaces could not be rebuilt, the chaotic four seas could not be calmed, and the withered Dao veins could not be reborn - she could not reopen the veins, there were no Dao veins to open, and her aging body would not allow it.
All the cultivation paths in the world could not be reopened to her.
What was the meaning of this matter?
The two had not seen each other since the war in the world of confusion.
Now they were separated by a threshold, inside and outside the courtyard, and each had a life-changing change. One was the first truth in history, and the other was an old man living alone in a lonely courtyard.
What a good fortune!
Qi Xiao's eyes did not change, but he just turned aside and made way for half of the door.
Facing this silent invitation, Jiang Wang stepped in.
The old woman turned around and led the way, bypassing the screen wall and going into the inner room.
Jiang Wang closed the door.
As far as Jiang Wang knew, Qi Xiao's real age was 49 years old, which was very young for a real person, and not "old" for a mortal. But she had aged so much. Just looking at the wrinkles on her face, people would believe that she was 70 years old. The war in the maze left her with too much trauma.
But her posture was still straight, still like the commander who was in full swing, as if in the army. Just looking at her back, you couldn't see the old look on her face.
"Someone asked me, what's the point of living like this?" the old woman said.
Jiang Wang took two steps, walked to her side, and walked side by side with her.
Qi Xiao's voice continued: "I think there is no need for meaning in life. What do you think?"
Jiang Wang did not answer this question, but only said: "Didn't you kill the person who asked you this question?"
Qi Xiao's murderous nature was counted among the famous generals in the world.
Although she has no cultivation now, she has been the commander of the Nine Soldiers for so many years, and she has made many old friends in the court and the country. Qi Ting will not forget her contribution.
This powerless old woman can also kill people easily.
"Oh." Qi Xiao said calmly: "This person is Qi Guang."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
This person really can't be killed.
Qi Guang, the old sincere baron, is the biological father of Qi Xiao and Qi Wen.
This kind of hereditary title has always been passed down from death to inheritance. The reason why the Qi family is an exception is that when Qi Wen and Qi Xiao were fighting for Xia's corpse, Qi Guang took the initiative to give up the title and gave it to Qi Wen, just to increase Qi Wen's weight.
And Qi Xiao was under such pressure, alone, suppressed the entire Donglai Qi family, and stepped into the military hall.
But Jiang Wang couldn't help thinking again. The reason why Qi Guang couldn't be killed was because he was the old patriarch of the Donglai Qi family, or because he was Qi Xiao's father?
The two didn't talk anymore, walked into the main hall, and sat down side by side with a tea stool between them.
They originally had good contact, with Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou as a bond, and the Emperor of Daqi specifically teaching them military tactics, and the opportunity to work together in the war of the maze world... but now they are two people who are so estranged.
The layout of this hall is quite unusual. Three whole walls are hung with maps, without any other decorations. On the front is a topographic map of the present world, on the left is a map of the East Region, and on the right is a map of the situation of offshore islands.
Ask her about her life's achievements, nothing more than these three maps.
She must have often looked at these maps, and the immortal eye has captured the weight of the long-lasting gaze in every corner of these three huge maps.
But the same question - what's the point?
She can no longer command troops.
Jiang Wang thought to herself that Qi Xiao would probably only do her own thing and not care about what others thought. She didn't care about the so-called 'meaning' that the world drew out and described.
Qi Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the pot of tea: "I have nothing else in this house, just a pot of herbal tea to relieve the fever. Drink it if you want."
The backs of her hands are also deeply wrinkled. It is really hard to imagine how these hands once dismembered the strong men of the sea tribe, fought against enemies who blocked the road, sent thousands of sails competing, and controlled thousands of miles of storms.
Jiang Wang opened the two teacups, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups.
Then he asked: "Why are there no servants in the house?"
The old woman said: "Who can stand me?"
When she was on Cassia Island, the nine elite soldiers had to be rotated frequently to maintain good physical and mental condition. The number of Xia corpses eliminated every year is quite astonishing, and it is the highest among the Nine. It is indeed impossible for ordinary people to get along with her.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "There will be people who come here regularly every day to clean and cook, and they will not interact with me."
Jiang Wang seemed to have a lot to say before he came, but after seeing himself, he didn't know what to say.
"Are they doing a good job?" he asked. "I mean the people who clean and cook."
The old woman glanced at him: "I mean - if you want to kill me, now is the time."
Jiang Wang remained calm: "Qi Shuai thinks I'm here to kill you today?"
"Probably not." Qi Xiao said: "But it's not necessarily the case when old and new hatreds come to mind. After all, you are not a person who thinks twice before acting."
Jiang Wangdao: "I know you won't regret it, but I still want to ask - do you regret it now?"
"What do you regret?"
"I will never regret what you are like now. You let your brother take back the military power and your father mocked you. But you, who are so strong, cold and murderous, can only endure all this."
Qi Xiao said: "I won the war."
"Do you ever regret sending me into a dangerous situation? Do you ever regret letting all my subordinates die? Do you ever regret...making such a request of me?"
Qi Xiao said: "I won the war. I could have won more. If you had not disobeyed military orders, the situation in the coastal waters would not be so complicated now, and Da Qi would have unified the maritime territories long ago."
"Sure enough, that's your answer." Jiang Wang said.
"You want to say that you are now the number one true person in Qing Dynasty, and you will definitely become a disciple. Will I regret forcing you away?" Qi Xiao asked.
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Qi Xiao said: "Your path and practice are irreconcilable with the national system. Being in the national system, holding its power and assuming its responsibilities, there is absolutely no possibility of willfulness. I just made it clear in the end That person is not me, but someone else - of course, if I had known this earlier, I would not have forced you to choose so roughly. "
She paused for a moment and then added: "I will be a little more tactful... Let Cao Shuai force you."
Jiang Wang said: "Qi Xiao is indeed Qi Xiao!"
Qi Xiao looked at him: "You want me to apologize?"
Jiang Wang shook his head, stood up and walked out: "That's not necessary."
Qi Xiao's voice sounded from behind: "So you came here today just to see how miserable I am now and how miserable I am?"
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Qi Xiao was still sitting there, but he took out a handwritten book and handed it forward to his back: "I sat here during this time and wrote a military book. This is the only one, so it can be regarded as your hard work. If you If you want to go to Huaying Palace, you can give it to His Highness. You can read a few pages yourself, or you can take revenge on me and destroy it after you leave."
Jiang Wang did not look back, let alone pick up the military book, but said: "To answer Qi Shuai's original question - I don't think there is a need for meaning in life, but it is necessary to survive. It is also necessary to not let others live..."
Just left.
The old woman held the book quietly and put it down with an expressionless face.
She didn't smile. She hadn't killed anyone for a long time. She just looked at the situation map of the offshore islands hanging on the wall and said to herself: "Everyone who died in the Mysterious World, including me now, I think has a meaning. ”
"I hope so," said a voice.
Qi Xiao looked up and saw Duhou. He was sitting next to her at the same spot where Jiang Wang had been sitting before. He also picked up the cup of herbal tea and drank it slowly.
"Does Marquis Du think I'm wrong?" Qi Xiao asked.
Cao Jiudao: "The battle in the Mysterious Realm is dominated by you, and I will not question the commander's order."
"The War in the Mysterious Realm is over. What about hindsight?"
Cao Jie put down his tea cup: "There is nothing right or wrong about war. Is Qi Xiao weak now?"
Qi Xiao slowly shook his head: "It's just that when people get old, they start to think about life constantly."
Then he asked: "Are you afraid that Duhou came so quickly that he would kill me?"
Cao Jie nodded honestly: "A little bit."
Qi Xiao carefully put away the military book and said, "He won't do anything to me. He has too many worries."
Cao Jidao: "Sometimes it doesn't seem like I have any worries."
"You are young. Sometimes you don't care." Qi Xiao picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, and then said: "He just wanted to tell me that I was wrong. He wanted me to see how he practices his reason."
"Do you want to continue reading?" Cao Ji asked.
"Of course." Qi Xiao replied.
Then he said: "Besides, what else can I do now?"
Cao Jiu looked at her: "Actually, I'm more worried that you want to use his hand to free yourself."
"What a joke!" Qi Xiao said coldly: "This is too ridiculous. If I, Qi Xiao, want to be free, why should I borrow someone else's knife?"
"Don't laugh." Cao Jie said calmly: "I'm afraid of death."
...
...
Jiang Wang told the Emperor of Qi that Qi was his second hometown, and there was no water in this statement.
His cause and effect with Zhuangguo had ended, and no one in the underworld could respond to his thoughts.
In Qi, he made too many friends and left too many memories. There were flying eagles and fighting dogs, swaggering through the streets, being domineering, and being full of honor.
Of course, there were some enemies. But as he walked forward, there were no more.
After leaving Qi Xiao's mansion, he went to Huaying Palace.
No one in Huaying Palace asked him to wait. When he entered the palace gate, someone was waiting and led him all the way to the martial arts field.
Jiang Wuyou certainly knew Jiang Wang's whereabouts.
At this time, she was still practicing martial arts in the palace.
She practices martial arts almost every day, and has the skills to master all kinds of weapons.
Among the three palace masters who are qualified to compete for the dragon. Jiang Wuhua is not conspicuous, while Jiang Wuxie is quite like the Martial Ancestor and is well-known for his elegance. Only Jiang Wuyou, in addition to his national power, also shows the posture of a master.
He is already a person who has opened up the martial arts world and set a precedent. If he can go on without hindrance, he will become a master of his generation.
Jiang Wang walked to the familiar training ground and saw a Fangtian Ghost God Halberd, rolling in the air and roaring like a silver dragon.
At the moment when Jiang Wang arrived, the dragon turned into its true form!
It was really silver scales and silver horns, carrying wind and thunder, with a body length of more than ten feet, rushing towards him. Suppressing the five elements, the dragon roared through the sky: "Let's compete with me!"
The whole training ground was shrouded in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Standing on the side of the field was the old woman who was always beside Jiang Wuyou and holding the halberd for him. Jiang Wang could not tell her true and false before, but now she can be clearly seen, and she is also a real person.
Under Jiang Wuyou's magnificent power, he observed the surroundings leisurely, then stepped into the field with a faint smile, and just stretched out his hand--
He had already grasped the silver-white dragon horn.
Then the wind and thunder stopped, the thick clouds dispersed, and the dragon horn turned into a bright halberd tip. Jiang Wuyou held the pole with both hands, and the blood roared in her body!
Eight Tao characters appeared outside her body, like a heavenly symbol circling. Its light was bright, as if she was covered with a layer of silver armor, which made her momentum infinitely rise.
The characters were: Tao, Lin, Jue, Dian, Tian, Xia, Li, Wu.
Each character had its own unique charm. Like a knife, a gun, a sword, and a halberd.
Jiang Wang just glanced at it, and the eight Tao characters appeared with sparks almost at the same time--bang! They immediately decomposed and exploded into eight flames.
The hand holding the halberd tip pressed down, and Jiang Wuyou was pressed to the ground, and his boots crushed the floor tiles!
Jiang Wang let go of his hand with a smile on his face. Jiang Wuyou fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Although this was just a competition, Jiang Wang did not hold back.
He knew Jiang Wuyou very well, and he knew that Jiang Wuyou had his own pride, and Jiang Wuyou did not need him to hold back.
"Jiang Qingyang!"
He heard this cold shout.
He smiled and looked over, with the joy of meeting an old friend on his face: "What's the matter?"
The Lord of Huaying Palace threw the Fangtian Ghost Halberd behind him and said coldly: "What do you mean!?"
