In the fourth month of the human world, peach blossoms began to bloom in the mountain temples. But in Guangling, the end of the fourth month was still as vibrant as ever, and the whole city was in a state of leisure.
Since the prosperity of the Wang family, this famous city had basically never suffered from the disasters of war, water, and fire. It could be said to be the city with the longest history. Many of the streets still had stone objects built during the reign of the emperor, which was irrefutable evidence of the changes in architectural styles since the Middle Ages. Wandering in the city, one would often "cross" an era in just a few steps.
The people of Guang Ling were always proud of this. When they entertained their guests, they would point at an object at random and talk about its history in detail. Every brick, every tile, and every seemingly ordinary object might have an ancient history and background that would make people's eyes widen and tongue-tied. It was possible that the names of the Human Emperor, the Saint Emperor, the Tyrant, and the Saints of the Middle Ages would pop up from any corner.
If some places were described as a city in a painting and the painting in the city, then Guangling was the city in an ancient book and the ancient book in the city. It was a rich and profound historical atmosphere.
Even though she did not know much about the history of the human race, Yuanyang, a young girl from the Southern Border, had a similar feeling after entering Guangling. She felt that the people here were different from those she had seen in the past. Subconsciously, she calmed her mind and looked around.
She had lost weight successfully. Her figure was slim and graceful, and her skin was snow-white. Her bright red dress was divided into two halves, revealing a flat belly and a ruby embedded in her navel. She looked very different from the Central Plains and attracted many people's furtive glances.
"Lecherous people are everywhere!" Yuanyang was disgusted and proud at the same time.
She had removed the red birthmark through the Six Realms and no longer had a Yin Yang face. Her face was beautiful and gorgeous. Although her forehead was still a little wide, it complemented her face and eyes.
Looking at the sky and calculating the agreed time, Yuanyang walked towards the "Taiping Tower".
"Yang!" As she approached the most famous restaurant in Guangling, Yuanyang heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw the delicate and pretty Weng Lingyu standing under the eaves opposite the restaurant. She was dressed in a light green dress and was dressed in a delicate green dress.
She was born in a small town in the River East and was closer to Guangling than any of her companions.
"Ah Yu!" Yuanyang raised her hand in greeting, her face filled with the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
When the two girls met, they chattered non-stop. Fortunately, they were both Jianghu people who had experienced danger, so they did not let down their guard against their surroundings.
"Ah Yu, when did you arrive?" Yuanyang asked with concern.
Weng Lingyu smiled. "I left home a month ago. I came to Guangling to have fun. It's been five days. I've been waiting for you here every day."
"Your parents didn't stop you?" Yuanyang's eyes widened.
Weng Lingyu pursed her lips. "I've already opened Four Apertures. I'm one of the best in the family. What can they do to stop me?"
As she said this, Yuanyang noticed that there seemed to be an indescribable radiance on her face, making her look even more beautiful than before.
This was the light of confidence that she was in control of her own life. It was the liberation of being herself first, and then being a daughter, junior, wife, and mother.
Weng Lingyu often listened to her father, who was an armed escort, talking about the various places in the River East. She was full of yearning for the outside world. She did not want to be trapped in a small town for the rest of her life. She wanted to get married, have children, watch her children grow up, worry about their marriages, and die of old age.
Originally, with her talent and family's martial arts skills, there was no way for her to escape this life. But after meeting the Dominator, danger brought opportunities. Now, she could go out whenever she wanted and travel whenever she wanted. Without her permission, her parents could no longer make decisions for her.
Yuanyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly. "That's how it should be!"
They looked at each other and saw the hidden confidence in each other. It was the confidence that they had lacked in the past.
And confidence gave people a different kind of charm!
"Alright, let's go into the Taiping Restaurant. This is one of the most famous restaurants in the River East. The dishes here are exquisite, fresh, and delicious." Weng Lingyu led Yuanyang into the restaurant and said with a smile, "Although it may not be to your taste, it won't be bad to have it once in a while."
Yuanyang nodded lightly and looked at the waiter who came to greet them. She said excitedly, "Give us the best private room!"
She was straightforward and generous. She was in a good mood after meeting her companions, so she did not hesitate to choose the best and most expensive room.
The waiter frowned. "Ladies, the best private room in the Taiping Restaurant is the courtyard at the back. It has been booked by Master Wang. Please choose again."
"Master Wang? 'Ledgerkeeper of Lives' Wang? "Weng Lingyu's expression changed slightly as she blurted out.
Yuanyang had heard the martial artists of the Southern Wilderness talking about the Ranking List of Young Masters. She had an impression of the name. She remembered that it was one of the top few on the list in the past. He had reached the Exterior level in a single step and Guangling was where his family's ancestral home was.
The waiter lowered his voice and answered, "Yes."
"Master Wang, an expert of the Exterior, appearing in the Taiping Restaurant …" Weng Lingyu frowned as her thoughts raced. "Is this a coincidence?
Which disciple of the Wang family of River East is this senior? Or is it Master Wang? "
Yuanyang did not notice her unusual behavior. She was not a domineering person. Since the courtyard had been booked, she would choose again.
"There's nothing good about the courtyard. I can't hear the rumors of Jianghu … the lobby is too messy and not safe enough …" She muttered to herself for a while and finally asked for a private room on the second floor. She could see the lobby on the first floor and listen in on their conversations.
As they entered the private room, the window was ajar, allowing them to see what was going on in the hall. Yuanyang and Weng Lingyu immediately noticed a young man in a green robe. He was handsome and relaxed, sitting alone behind a square table in the center of the hall. In front of him was a pot of tea and a piece of wood. He was surrounded by many Jianghu heroes and idlers. He seemed to be a storyteller.
He held the teacup and the lid with his hands. His hands were not fair and strong, but his joints were distinct and slender. There was no tremor in his every movement. It was the same when he held the tea and when he killed someone!
"The Central Plains is indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons." Yuanyang sighed. Even a storyteller had good strength!
She could feel the terrible power hidden in those hands.
Weng Lingyu was about to speak when she saw the storyteller pick up the wood and slap it. She was shocked by the sound.
"It is said that the Evil Master Han Guang has disguised himself as the Abbot of Shaolin Temple, Kong Wen. He wants to kill Taoist Chonghe while the Chuyang Genuine Immortal is fighting for the Primary Instruction of The Buddha's Palm. His ally, the Peacock Demon King, is also waiting for an opportunity to attack. He is pretending to be fighting with the Great Asuras." The young man in the green robe said loudly.
"Is this what he is talking about?" Weng Lingyu and Yuanyang were taken aback for a moment before revealing expressions of great interest. More than a month ago, the Dharmakayas and masters from various families had fought over the Primary Instruction of The Buddha's Palm. It had caused a sensation throughout the martial arts world and attracted the attention of many. Who would not want to know the details?
However, those who were qualified to participate in the competition were all big shots, so they would not spread rumors. At most, they would give a few words to their disciples, and only then would they leak a few words to let people know that Taoist Chonghe had mastered the Yi Qi Turning San Qing, the supreme skill of the Pure Sun Sect, that the divine monk Kong Wen who appeared in the West Regions was the Evil Master Han Guang in disguise, and that the Killing Blade Su Meng was lucky enough to pick up the treasure when he was passing by, but he lost it again. The mysterious Lanke Temple intervened and settled the dispute.
They were just a few words, but each sentence hid countless details and causes, making people even more curious. However, there was no way to know the details. They could only get a glimpse of the changes in the Celestial Rankings.
But at this moment, the storyteller was telling the details of the war!
Whether it was true or not, the people of Jianghu were always willing to listen to it. Who knew, they might get it right?
Yuanyang and Weng Lingyu held their breath and listened attentively, waiting to see if the storyteller would be able to tell the truth.
The green-robed man continued, "But what kind of person is Taoist Chonghe? He has been famous for more than two hundred years and has crossed more bridges than Han Guang. He had long noticed something was wrong from his words and expressions. However, he pretended not to know. When Han Guang suddenly revealed his Emperor Yama's body and launched a sneak attack on him, he suddenly launched an attack. He pushed his Taoist crown, immortal Qi, and San Qing, causing Han Guang and the Peacock Demon King Tai Li to fall into his trap. They were surrounded and killed by his Four Swords Formation! "
"The Four Swords Formation has the power to destroy heaven and earth. Originally, it could only be deployed by four Dharmakayas. However, Taoist Chonghe completed it all by himself, causing Han Guang and Tai Li to flee helter-skelter. He demonstrated his superhuman strength. After this battle, he was ranked first in the Celestial Rankings by the Six Fan School!"
"However, the power of a Peerless Heavenly Weapon is not to be underestimated. Taoist Shou Jing used the Blade of Timeshadow to temporarily suppress the White Tiger Demon King. Gourdo may not necessarily lose to Taoist Chonghe, who has shown his true strength. However, the two have not had a new round of battle, so he can only be ranked second."
Yama's Emperor's body, his own strength, the Blade of Timeshadow to suppress the White Tiger Demon King … Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Back to the topic, Han Guang is not easy to deal with. At the critical moment of his death, he revealed another identity. He is the Heaven Sovereign of the Myths!" The green-robed young man was engrossed in his narration, his eyebrows dancing. He patted the wood again. "He used the Blade of Time to perform the Heaven Sovereign Trampling on Time and used Yama to display the Way of Six Annihilations. Finally, he made a mistake in the Sword Formation. Then, he used all his secret treasures to escape with Tai Li, who was restrained by the Sword Formation."
"With the strength, scheming, and shrewdness he showed, the Six Fan School's evaluation of the Sixth Celestial Rankings is more accurate. In terms of strength, if Divine Monk Kong Wen did not fall into the trap and was besieged by him and Tai Li, then trapped in the Formation, he would indeed be stronger than Divine Monk Kong Wen. Therefore, although his ranking fell, he would still be ranked fifth. Of course, it is unknown how much strength Divine Monk Kong Wen has left after escaping. However, I believe that it is a blessing in disguise for him to have the opportunity to comprehend the Primary Instruction of the Buddha's Palm."
"As for Tai Li, as a demon, he is not on the Celestial Rankings. However, as long as he is not restrained, he can fight with the top five of the Celestial Rankings."
Yuanyang and the others were stunned. It did not feel like they were listening to a storyteller!
The green-robed young man's narration was detailed and logical. All kinds of shocking news made them speechless. It was as if they were reenacting that great battle.
However, how could a storyteller who looked like a master watch a battle between Dharmakaya or Heavenly Weapons?
If it was purely a story, he would definitely be the best storyteller!
"Haha, I was almost fooled by you. What Yama's Body of the Emperor? What Devil Master is the Heaven Sovereign? What Peacock Demon King and Devil Master joined forces to trap Divine Monk Kong Wen and then impersonated him to go to the West Region? It is so fake! It is completely illogical! Even if it's a story, it's full of loopholes! "A burly man laughed out loud after he" reacted ".
Everyone came to a realization. Why was it that every story they heard seemed to be real, and they were shaken to the point that their souls left their bodies?
"The person in front of us is a storyteller, not a Dharmakaya master …" They either laughed or laughed at themselves as they returned to their seats.
The green-robed young man was unfazed. He played with the teacup, closed his eyes and smiled.
Yuanyang and Weng Lingyu looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Although it is a story, it is interesting enough. I want to know the rest." Yuanyang smiled casually.
Weng Lingyu nodded slightly, agreeing with Yuanyang's suggestion. Just as the two were about to stand up and tip, they suddenly saw a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walk into the hall.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
This butler was one of the butlers of the Wang family of River East, not a steward!
Weng Lingyu recognized him from his waist pendant and signaled for Yuanyang to wait. She wondered what the butler of the Wang family was doing in the hall.
Under everyone's gaze, the butler of the Wang family walked to the storyteller and bowed. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,
"My master invites Master Su to meet him in the backyard."
"Your master?" The green-robed young man raised his eyebrows.
"My master once had a sword duel with Master Su at the Dongyang Villa." The butler pointed out.
The green-robed young man smiled. "Master Wang, it has been a long time since we last met. I am very happy to meet you."
Then, he stood up and followed the butler.
"Master Wang? Isn't he Ledgerkeeper of Lives Wang Siyuan?
The storyteller had a sword duel with him at the Dongyang Villa?
Surnamed Su?
Isn't he Su Meng, the Killing Blade?
The beginner of the Exterior who managed to obtain the Primary Instruction of the Buddha's Palm in a competition of Dharmakaya masters?
Although he did not succeed in the end, he was a legend who comprehended the Primary Instruction once and escaped unscathed.
How dare he pretend to be a storyteller here!
Everyone in the hall widened their eyes and breathed rapidly, but no one said a word.
Yuanyang and Weng Lingyu were the same. They never expected the storyteller to be Su Meng, the Killing Blade who had become famous in Jianghu in recent years. He had gone through four tribulations and reached heaven in one step!
If it was Su Meng, the Killing Blade, then what about the "story" he had told?!
Everyone was stunned and tried to recall the details just now!
…
In a quiet courtyard, Wang Siyuan, whose face was paler than his clothes, was focused on the chessboard.
When Mengqi entered, he raised his head slightly and said, "You are really good at playing."
He was referring to the incident where Mengqi pretended to be a storyteller.
Mengqi sat down boldly and chuckled. "There are many things in life that you don't have to care about. Do as you please and do as you please. That's how it is."
Wang Siyuan did not dwell on the matter and changed the topic. "No wonder I came here on a whim. It was to meet you."
"Tsk, you are indeed the Ledgerkeeper of Lives. You can even deduce something on a whim." Mengqi said with a faint smile, "So you set up a formation in advance to isolate this place from the outside world, so that no sound or movement can leak out?"
Wang Siyuan nodded lightly. "Some things are not for others to know."
Mengqi smiled. "Brother Wang, since you are so good at foretelling, can you foretell something?"
Wang Siyuan was slightly stunned. "What is it?"
Mengqi's smile instantly became bright. "Foretell that I suddenly had the urge to beat you up."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.
