Patriarch of Wanjiao

Sister Scorpion! ?

"Do you know?"

Li Mo listened to the extremely familiar and affectionate name from Xia Chanming's mouth, and was stunned for a moment before blurting out a question.

The next moment, he slapped his forehead suddenly and suddenly woke up.

The lineage of the Nine Poison Ancient Scorpions originally came from Gui Xu, and they belong to the same [Gui Xu] as one of the four tribes of Gui Xu where Xia Chanming is located.

The most important thing is that whether it is the Nine Poison Ancient Scorpion or the Nine Treasure Spirit Cicada, their ancestors all followed the Black Sword 300 years ago.

This brought great disaster to their descendants, their bloodline withered and almost became extinct.

Because of this, it seems extremely normal for Xia Chanming and Xie Pipa to know each other.

"Sister Cicada, I didn't expect to meet you here." Xie Pipa couldn't help but sigh.

As she spoke, she looked at Li Mo and explained: "Before I left Guixu, I had the best relationship with Sister Cicada, and I was mostly taken care of by the elders of the [Nine Treasure Lingchan] lineage."

Compared to the [Nine Treasure Spiritual Cicada] lineage, their Nine Poison Ancient Scorpions are much miserable.

Nowadays, in the vast world, there is only one descendant of this lineage left, Jie Pipa.

"How are you together?"

Xia Chanming looked at Li Mo and then at Jie Pipa, showing suspicion.

She knew that Li Mo fell into Liangzhou after leaving the capital.

As for Xie Pipa, she was never heard from again after escaping from Guixu.

Xia Chanming never dreamed that these two people who were incompatible with each other would actually get together, and it seemed that they had an extraordinary relationship.

"Indescribable."

Xie Pipa subconsciously looked at Li Mo's face, but said nothing.

"Um!?"

Xia Chanming is so astute, especially since she knows very well that Xie Pipa was already outstanding as a person when he returned to the ruins, and the arrogance in his bones cannot be hidden.

But now, she was a little more obedient around Li Mo, which made Xia Chanming feel a little uncomfortable.

"You won't...even accept Sister Xie!?"

Xia Chanming looked at Li Mo with a strange expression.

"What do you mean!?"

Li Mo stared at the Tianling Gai where Xia Chan was singing, always having the urge to take a picture.

"Sister Cicada, why are you here?"

Xie Pipa changed the subject and asked.

"Of course there is something important..."

Xia Chanming glanced at Li Mo subconsciously, and finally told the truth.

"The Lord... seems to have come to Liangzhou!"

"Lord!?" Li Mo's eyebrows jumped and he couldn't help but said: "Lord of the Demon City!?"

The interior of Guixu is divided into four parts: [Mountain], [Sea], [Demon], and [Ghost]. Their leader is Zun, and his name is Zunzhu.

Back then, when Li Mo was in Xuantian Pavilion, he had heard that the strength of the four lords of Gui Xu was much stronger than the eight masters of Xuantian Pavilion.

Their identities are mysterious and their whereabouts are hidden. They rarely set foot in Kyushu or Daqian territory.

Xia Chanming was born in [Demon City], and the Lord she mentioned must be the Lord of Demon City.

"The Lord of the Demon City actually came to Liangzhou!?" Xie Pipa frowned, and the coldness in her cold eyes became even stronger.

The lineage of the Nine Poison Ancient Scorpions was liquidated, naturally because of the handiwork of the Demon City Lord.

However, such an existence is very mysterious. Xie Pipa has never seen this person's true face in Lushan for so many years in the Demon City.

In fact, throughout the ages, the lords of the four major cities have been very mysterious. Even inside Guixu, they are hidden in mist and cannot see the whole picture.

The Black Sword was like this back then, and so is the Demon City Lord today.

"The Lord of Demon City has come to Liangzhou... This is a big event..." Li Mo's eyes darkened.

If this news is spread back to Xuantian Pavilion, it will definitely cause shock. For him, it is a great achievement...a huge achievement.

"Don't use your imagination..."

Xia Chanming looked at Li Mo's changing expression, and he even let out a weird laugh unconsciously, knowing that he had no good intentions.

"It's just a suspicion. Besides, the Lord Divine Dragon has seen its head but not its tail, so no one can catch his traces..." Xia Chanming reminded.

If Li Mo really revealed the news to Xuantian Pavilion, there would be many problems.

First, how to verify the authenticity of this information?Where did he get this information from?What if nothing is found?
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Li Mo said righteously: "By the way, why did the Lord of Demon City come to Liangzhou for no reason?"

Guixu Shenyin, the four great lords almost never set foot in the Daqian territory.

The last time I set foot was 18 years ago, during the great fire in Beijing.

"For the [Sword Making Ceremony] held by the Gu family in Beiliang..." Xia Chanming whispered softly.

As we all know, there was a monster in the Gu family of Beiliang in this life, and that was Gu Linyuan, the biological son of the head of the family, Gu Kuangshan.

At a young age, he comprehended the [True Breath] and entered the secret realm of the void. His strength surpassed that of his peers.

In order to show that they have a successor, and to reward Gu Linyuan, the Gu family plans to hold the [Sword Forging Ceremony] on the fifteenth day of next month to use the family's strength to forge holy weapons for Gu Linyuan.

This is the origin of the [Sword Forging Festival].

"After all, they are from a thousand-year-old family. They are really knowledgeable and can forge holy weapons casually..." Li Mo curled his lips and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He worked hard and took countless opportunities, but he still failed to promote [Blade] to the rank of holy weapon. So far, it is only a top-notch spiritual weapon.

But because Gu Linyuan was born in a thousand-year-old family and entered Zhenxi, he had the support of his family to build a holy weapon for him.

I have to say that it is different if you have a background, and other people's end points are often just their starting points.

In contrast, people like Li Mo have neither power support nor background to rely on. They can only rely on their own efforts and hard work along the way. The bitterness inside is really not enough to compare with outsiders.

His ability to achieve what he has today is really in line with the old saying: God rewards hard work! ! !
"Why did the majestic Lord of Demon City show up for a sword-making ceremony for a descendant of the Gu family!?" Xie Pipa saw the problem and couldn't help but ask.

"What the Lord values ​​​​is naturally not Gu Linyuan, but the treasure used by the Gu family to make swords." Xia Chanming explained.

"Baby? What baby?" When Li Mo heard these two words, his eyes lit up involuntarily, like a weasel falling into a big chicken coop.

He knew that forging a holy weapon was no small matter. First of all, he didn't know how many treasures at the level of top-grade spiritual weapons had to be discarded before he could cast a rough embryo. Then, on this basis, he spent countless materials and treasures from heaven and earth, as well as the efforts of experts, to trigger the celestial phenomena. , gathering earth energy, intertwining thunder and fire, surging wind and clouds, harmonizing yin and yang... Only then can we have a chance to forge a holy weapon.

"Other treasures are fine...the most important treasure is a jade mine left behind by Black Sword." Xia Chanming lowered her voice.

If it weren't for her, Li Mo would have no way of knowing this information.

"The jade mine left behind by Black Sword?" Xie Pipa thought thoughtfully.

She knew that the Black Sword was rampant all over the world, but after his death, he was liquidated by many enemies. The traces he left in the world were almost erased one by one, and many things he left behind were also divided up.

Back then, Heijian had been operating in Beimang, Liangzhou for a period of time. After his death, those dojos naturally disappeared.

The jade mine Xia Chanming mentioned may have been obtained by the Gu family in Beiliang at that time.

"After the death of Black Sword, everything about him was gone except the Luofu Mountain where he was born..." Xia Chanming couldn't help but sigh.

But it's strange to think about it. Luofu Mountain is unknown, located in a remote place, and has raised a monster like Heijian. After the latter's death, Luofu Mountain actually stayed alone and was not liquidated. The incense has been passed down for more than 300 years. It is really strange.

"They dare." Li Mo sneered.

He guessed that maybe some people did not want to touch Luofu Mountain, but had concerns about it, such as the Sword Immortal in White.

How could Hei Jian not know about Hei Jian's own sexual characteristics? He might have already arranged his posthumous affairs.

"The jade mine left behind by the Black Sword... The Gu family of Beiliang wants to refine it and cast it into a holy weapon!?" Xie Pipa asked: "What is so special about the jade mine that it can bring the Lord of Demon City to visit in person!? "

"I don't know about that... The legacy of the Black Sword is always special. Just the name is enough to make people's hearts flutter... Don't forget, that person also once took charge of the Demon City." "Of course I won't forget it." Pipa said coldly, seemingly still resenting Black Sword.

"The jade mine left behind by Black Sword... So I should be the legal heir, right?"

Li Mo murmured, and at this moment he suddenly admitted his identity as the successor of the Black Sword.

"It should be very special to be able to forge holy weapons."

"I'm not sure... I only know that the jade mine was mined from Qingping Mountain by Black Sword." Xia Chanming said casually.

"Start from Qingping Mountain...where?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard.

"Qingping Mountain...Qingping Mountain among the barren hills in Beimang...that barren mountain..."

The sound of summer cicadas echoed in Li Mo's ears. Later, he couldn't hear it anymore. Only the name Qingping Mountain came over and over in his mind.

"Mother's destiny...God's will is like this..."

Li Mo grinned, and even felt the soft moan of the [Cut Blade] in his body.

……

It was late at night, and the moon was like the eyes of a fox, looking at Jiujiang Mansion indifferently.

Li Mo took Xie Pipa, said goodbye to Xia Chanming for the time being, and returned to where he was staying.

"Where have you been on horseback? I've been waiting for you for a long time, aren't you going to run away?"

When Gu Changan saw Li Mo, he complained all over his face.

"Run away? Why are you running? We abide by the laws and regulations, so why are we running away?"

Li Mo changed his mind. Since Gu Feifan promised to keep them safe, he naturally had no taboos in Jiujiang Mansion.

As for the Eternal Night Sword that the other party wanted, it is not in his possession now. We will talk about the future later.

Nowadays, Li Mo can pull the tiger skin, pull the big flag, rely on the big tree of Liangzhou General Secretary, and wait for the Gu family's [Sword Forging Festival] safely.

"I heard from my friends in the library that... the Gu family is already asking about me and is planning to hire someone."

Gu Changan subconsciously glanced at Jie Pipa and couldn't help but say.

"Ask him to inquire...tell the Gu family where we live and see who dares to touch us..."

Once Li Mo's pattern is opened, he will naturally be confident.

"Are you bewitched?"

Gu Changan touched Li Mo's forehead.

"How about... I leave first?"

At this moment, Xie Pipa was afraid that she would cause trouble for Li Mo, so she couldn't help but suggest.

"No need... I'll take you shopping tomorrow, just show off... By the way... The Gu family should have a lot of properties in Jiujiang Prefecture... Are there any special shops?" Li Mo turned to look at Gu Changan.

"Crazy... you must be crazy..."

Gu Changan muttered and couldn't help but look at Xie Pipa.

"He...what happened to him? Why did he suddenly become a demon!?"

Jie Pipa shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"By the way...Lao Gu, I have something to trouble you with."

As he spoke, Li Mo pulled Gu Changan down to his side and murmured in a low voice.

"what's up?"

"You have spent some time in the Gu family. Have you ever heard of Gu Linyuan?"

"Him!?" Gu Changan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "He is the most outstanding disciple of the Gu family. I saw him once when I was a child, but he was astonishing..."

Gu Changan's eyes filled with a trace of reminiscence.

"He was only seven years old at that time. He stood there like a sword, his divine light restrained...Many adults stood in front of him and did not dare to look at him..."

"There are rumors that...he obtained the remains of the Black Sword and inherited his mantle."

"Huh!? Inherited the mantle of Black Sword!?"

When Li Mo heard this, his expression became strange.

"Why are you asking about him?" Gu Changan asked suspiciously.

"Nothing... By the way, do you know anyone else in the Gu family? I want to meet..."

"A family man!?"

Gu Changan thoughtfully said: "I do remember one, but I haven't seen her for so many years, and I don't know if she still remembers me. The most important thing is... her identity is somewhat special."

"How special?"

"She is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, but because she is a daughter, she did not receive the sword pill inheritance..." Gu Changan said solemnly.

In a thousand-year-old family like the Gu family, whether they are concubines or women, their status is very low and they are not taken seriously. Women, in particular, are almost reduced to tools for marriage.

Even if she is a legitimate daughter, at most she is just a high-end marriage tool.

"Can we recognize each other?" Li Mo said casually.

"let me try."

"What's her name?"

"Gu Qingyi." Gu Changan said calmly.

……

Late at night.

Jiujiang Mansion, the old residence of the Gu family.

In the quiet courtyard, a beautiful figure stood in the wind, looking at the bright moon in the sky with soft eyes, and a pure sword intention burst out from the exquisite figure.

In an instant, the surrounding fallen leaves floated, standing like swords, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

"Miss, your kung fu is getting better and better..."

At this moment, a beautiful girl came from a distance, with deep awe in her beautiful eyes.

Who would have thought that the daughter of the Gu family, who lived deep in the boudoir and rarely left the house, would possess such terrifying swordsmanship, with a restrained edge that shocked the night sky.

"Ugh……"

Suddenly, under the soft moonlight, the beautiful figure let out a sigh, feeling lost for a long time.

"At this point, I can no longer improve...perhaps that beggar is right..."

Many years ago, she once met a beggar. The man could tell at a glance that she had a deep heart and great aspirations, but he lamented that her opportunities had not come yet, and her achievements in this life were ultimately limited.

Before leaving, the beggar said that if he wanted to inquire about the opportunity, he would give her a few words.

"It's difficult to open the sword to Shu... Could it be that my chance lies in Shu!?" Under the moonlight, the woman murmured softly.

The road to Shu is long and there are many dangerous mountains and rivers. With her status, it is impossible for her to leave easily and go to Shu.

What's more, what the beggar said is that it is difficult to open the sword to Shu. Even if you get to Shu, it will be extremely difficult to go further.

Thinking of this, the woman thought of the second half of the beggar's gift.

"It's difficult to open the sword to Shu, just because I haven't seen Qingping..."

"Qingping...Qingping..."
