Chapter 230
Under Shiyue Peak, in front of the main hall, there are countless pine trees planted around the stone platform.
The winter wind blew, and the snow on the trees was blown off, rustling, as if it had snowed again.
The snow on the stone platform had already been cleared aside by the deacon, and gradually melted under the sun, which made the temperature in the field even lower.
Tonglu's eyes were very cold, he looked at several Qingshan disciples in front of him and said, "Jing Jiu didn't dare to fight, this is not like your Qingshan Sword Sect's behavior."
The reason why the Xihai Sword Sect is visiting this time is for the Four Seas Banquet, and they want to invite some important figures from the Qingshan Sect.
The elders of the Xihai Sword Sect negotiated with Shiyue Peak's teacher for those matters. Tonglu formally issued an invitation to fight, but Shenmo Peak rejected it without any surprise.
Yao Songshan said: "If fellow Taoists of Tonglu really want to compete, I want to try, or you can just choose one of us."
Tonglu said: "You are not my opponent, and neither are you, why bother."
In a situation like this in the past, the person in charge of receiving Tonglu should be Guo Nanshan or Gu Han, the higher-ranked disciples of Liangwang Peak.
But because of a certain incident, they were punished by the door regulations, and they have not been out of the cave for two years.
Tonglu vaguely guessed that that incident should be the death of Luo Huainan.
Yao Songshan is ranked eleventh in Liangwang Peak, knowing that she is indeed no match for Tonglu, she is not very angry when she hears this.
"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Tong is no match for my little uncle, so why bother?"
Tonglu didn't want to argue with him, so he turned and walked towards the main hall.
Jing Jiu refused to fight, what can he do?
Looking at his back, Yao Songshan shook his head and said, "It's really fanciful to think that Uncle Jing would agree to his challenge."
"It's more than whimsical, it's an idiot."
"That's right, how can someone as lazy as little uncle spend his time and energy on these things? When did you see him compete with others?"
If any Qingshan disciple refused to accept Tonglu's invitation to fight, he would definitely be regarded as cowardly and looked down upon by his fellow disciples.
But if that person is Jing Jiu, then he won't be despised, because all Qingshan disciples know that he is not that kind of person, but just this kind of person.
One of the disciples suddenly remembered something and said, "Yes, that time in the Qingshan sword test, my little uncle fought three times in a row."
"That's because Liu Shisui."
Hearing this name, the discussion suddenly disappeared.
The crowd dispersed.
...
...
The huge shadow seemed to pass slowly across the sea, but in fact it was at an astonishing speed. In an instant, it crossed the Daluan Reef and hundreds of boats, and came to the outside of Haizhou City.
Countless seawater fell from the sky, causing a lot of rain in Haizhou City, and the slanting sunlight was refracted by the raindrops into a rainbow.
The Sky Whale waved its wings and flew away from the city. There was a big wave on the sea, slapping the cliffs and making a rumbling sound, but it couldn't cover the cheers of the people in the city.
This year's Four Seas Banquet was officially held.
As a product of the rivalry with Chaoge City, the West Sea Sword Sect has continuously increased its investment in the Four Seas Banquet. Although it is still far behind the Meihui, both the scale and the level have been greatly improved compared to those of the past.
However, the Green Mountain Sect still sent a few disciples randomly to participate as before, and their attitude was very clear.
Interestingly, a large part of the current reputation of the Four Seas Banquet comes from the Qingshan School.
It was here that Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu made their first appearance in the practice world.
Here, Jing Jiu won the first place in the chess game. The reason why he participated in the Meihui and played that earth-shattering and weeping game of chess with Tong Yan was also the beginning of this.
Zhao Layue did not attend the Four Seas Banquet, but the way she made her appearance was even more impressive.
In the Yuntai Great Hall, in front of the elders of the Xihai Sword Sect and the masters of the other sects, she directly killed Sanxiu Takesuke with a blood rainbow.
There are countless palaces hidden in the thick clouds that linger all year round on the sea, and there is Yuntai.
Tonglu stood on the edge of the hall, looking at the distant ground, thinking about these things, his face was a little ugly.
Yuntai is the important place of the West Sea Sword Sect, responsible for communicating with Chaotian Continent. Although he is a direct disciple of the West Sea Sword God, he rarely comes here.
The West Sea Sword Sect is located on the big island two thousand miles deep in the sea, and that is where he practiced the way of sword painstakingly.
At this time, in his eyes, the blue bay is like a gem, and the pavilions in the green hills have become even smaller dots.
The results of this year's Four Seas Banquet have come out, and later those winners will come here on a cloud boat to receive the four treasures personally presented by Xi Wangsun.
As the representative of the young disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect, he is responsible for receiving distinguished guests here.
Thinking of those boring chatter and boring affairs, his face became even uglier.
These days, the Xihai Sword Sect and its close sects have been taking advantage of the Four Seas Banquet to spread the news that he challenged Jing Jiu in Qingshan, and that Jing Jiu dared not fight.
He's in the limelight now, but what's the point?
There should be some time before the end of the Four Seas Banquet, Tonglu walked back to his room and found a letter on the table.
Who can come and go freely in the important place of Xihai Sword Sect?
He inspected it with his sword sense and confirmed that there were no formations or poison attached to the letter, picked it up and tore it open.
There are two simple messages written on the letter paper, namely time and place, which represent a challenge.
To his surprise, the signature was a red sword.
Forth Sword?
...
...
More than ten days later.
On the ocean outside Haizhou City, far away from the coast, there is a large piece of chaotic reef sticking out of the water, and the sea water is rolling in it, turning into countless white scales.
When the waves are at their peak, the sea water will gushes out from the reef, which looks like a whale spouting water, the picture is quite spectacular.
The mist covered the sky, making it difficult to see clearly from a little further away.
A man in black stood quietly in the reef, as if he wanted to become one with the reef. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find his existence.
A sword light fell, and Tonglu appeared.
The man in black looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be so proud that you would come here with a single sword. Aren't you worried that this is a trap to assassinate you?"
Tonglu said: "This is the West Sea, no one can set up a trap here to kill me."
The man in black said, "Or because you know who the murderers are?"
Tonglu said: "I'm even more curious about who dares to pretend to be a disciple of Qingshan."
The man in black said: "I am indeed no longer a disciple of Qingshan, but I can't talk about pretending."
Tonglu guessed who the other party was, was silent for a while, and said, "Let's just reveal your identity."
"I heard that you wanted to avenge Luo Huainan, that's why you went to Qingshan to challenge Jing Jiu."
The man in black took off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a darker face than before, with the same sincere expression as before.
"In that case, you should come to me directly instead of disturbing others."
