Xie Xiaofeng, a mortal in the courtyard, a celestial being outside the courtyard

The little old man’s words somewhat subverted Gong Jiu’s cognition.

As the heir of Prince Taiping, he knew nothing about this matter.

In the imperial palace, there are actually hidden masters who are half a step above heaven and man?

For so many years, there has been no rumors in the rivers and lakes.

Gong Jiu even felt that it was very likely that even the Emperor Ming himself did not know about this news.

Fortunately, according to the little old man, the masters hidden in the palace, whether they are half-step celestial beings or celestial beings, will not make random moves.

What they guard is Daming, not the Emperor of Ming.

Unless it is the disaster of destroying the country, or other half-step celestial beings attack in the imperial city.

But thinking about it carefully, Gong Jiu also thinks it’s extremely reasonable.

If the true strength of an imperial court is inferior to those in the world, then why should it be determined to be a country?

The little old man continued: “The honest monk has long been expelled from Shaolin, attended the wedding of Xiaoyao King, and is friends with Lu Xiaofeng again.”

“Let him contact Xiaoyao Wang, and there shouldn’t be any flaws. Keep him by Xiaoyao Wang’s side first, maybe it will be effective at some point.”

As he said that, the little old man glanced at Gong Jiu again, and said, “Without my order, don’t take action against King Xiaoyao.”

Gong Jiu paused slightly, and replied: “Yes.”

The little old man knew him very well, and knew that the more famous King Xiaoyao was now, the more unconvinced Gong Jiu would be in his heart.

Because Gong JiuIs a very proud person.

Moreover, when he was eighteen years old, he became a great master.

Especially those who belong to the royal family of Ming Dynasty, Gong Jiu will never admit that he is not as good as King Xiaoyao.

Most of them would think in their hearts that Xiaoyao Wang was able to have such a record because he just took advantage of the magic weapon’s unique skills.

With this mentality, maybe Gong Jiu would attack Xiaoyao King in private in order to prove himself.

Seeing that Gong Jiu agreed, the little old man felt relieved.

Section 155

Because he knew that in the entire organization, no one would dare to resist his orders.



Xiaoyao Wang’s suppression of Shaolin was like a hurricane, sweeping the entire martial arts world in the shortest possible time.

Almost everyone, when they heard the news, their first thought was absolutely impossible!

The 20,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty bombarded Shaolin and fired ten thousand arrows, but none of them caused any damage to the Shaolin monks.

On the contrary, it was me who lost troops and generals.

But after the Xiaoyao King appeared, he instantly turned the tide of the battle.

What’s more, it cuts eight hundred arhats with one sword, and destroys the supreme master with one palm.

No matter how you look at it, these rumors cannot be true.

In any teahouse on the side of the road, the stories made up by the storyteller inside are more credible than this rumor!

However, when more and more people who witnessed it with their own eyes appeared and 147 testified, people had no choice but to believe it.

The dandy prince they always thought was actually a young master!

What’s even more exaggerated is that he is still a grand master who can leapfrog and kill the supreme master!

Before that, everyone thought that King Xiaoyao had gained some fame in the Jianghu these days only because of the owner of Yihua Palace.

At the same time, the dialogue between the mysterious old monk and King Xiaoyao also spread in the rivers and lakes.

People in Jiang Hu couldn’t help but feel that King Xiaoyao was a little ignorant of flattery.

Especially when the news of the major Buddhist sects in various countries came, everyone understood that the words of the mysterious old monk were not false.

The Four Great Sages of Buddhism!

Dali Tianlong Temple!

Pure meditation Zen!

Tantra outside Tibet!

One after another, they spoke to the rivers and lakes, or said that Shaolin was destroyed for no reason, and that the same Buddhism should be united.

Or maybe he said that the classics of his school’s unique school were lost, and he suspected that the Buddhist martial arts used by King Xiaoyao was his own lost property.

In short, these people are all coming to Daming, planning to seek justice from King Xiaoyao.

In addition, there are foreign monks from Mongolia, Tubo and other countries, such as Jinlun Fawang and Jiumozhi, who also came to Daming one after another.

It felt like Daming had suddenly turned into a land of bliss.

People from the Buddhist sect with some strength from all over the world flocked here, and there was even a feeling of ten thousand Buddhas coming to court.

People in the Ming Dynasty have a feeling that there are ups and downs and ups and downs.



As the absolute protagonist of all events, Zhu Zixuan did not stay in Shaolin Temple.

After taking away the classics of martial arts in Shaolin, this thousand-year-old temple was burned to the ground.

At this moment, he is on his way.

But it’s not on the way back to Beijing, but on the way to Shenjian Villa.

Gong Tianzhao and Qinglong have already returned to Beijing with their respective troops.

Today, they know better than anyone that Xiaoyao Wang doesn’t need their protection at all.

After disembarking from Shaolin, Ximen Chuuxue, Li Xunhuan and others had a drink with Zhu Zixuan, and then they left.

Zhu Zixuan booked an inn and rested for a night with all the female relatives.

When he got up the next day, Zhu Zixuan saw Xie Xiaoyu with a look of admiration.

Xie Xiaoyu came here to invite him to visit Shenjian Villa.

“This is also what my father meant. My father has been in seclusion for many years and has never seen a visitor. The prince is the first person he wants to meet.”

She probably felt that this seemed a little impolite to Zhu Zixuan, and added: “My father has been in seclusion for a long time, and he has not been out of the village for a long time. Otherwise, he would definitely come to invite him in person.”

Xie Xiaofeng of the Excalibur Villa has been in seclusion for 20 or 30 years.

Twenty or thirty years ago, he was in the realm of the supreme master, and there were few rivals in the rivers and lakes.

After so many years of retreat, it is very likely that he has already touched the half-step realm of heaven and man.

It just so happened that Zhu Zixuan also wanted to see Xie Xiaofeng’s current strength since he had nothing to do in the past two days.

Yao Yue, Lian Xing and others did not follow the Shenjian Villa party.

This trip to Shaolin has yielded a lot.

In Shaolin, there are many unique skills.

Whether it’s the seventy-two unique skills, or the Yijinjing, Xisuijing, etc., stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade.

It has a great effect on improving their cultivation and vision.

In Shaolin this time, although Zhu Zixuan showed great power, whether it was Yaoyue, Lianxing, or Dongfang Bubai, he was greatly frustrated in his heart.

Originally, they worked hard to get out of customs, thinking that they had made great progress in their cultivation.

But in Shaolin Temple, they didn’t even have a chance to make a move.

The three of them have similar realms, and they often get together to study and discuss together. They just want to improve their strength as soon as possible.



Excalibur Villa.

Xie Xiaoyu directly brought Zhu Zixuan to the backyard.

As soon as they arrived in the backyard, four swordsmen appeared and said coldly, “Who trespassed in the hidden sword hut?”

Xie Xiaoyu frowned and said, “Your Highness is a distinguished guest invited by my father.”

The four looked at each other, and one of them entered the room to report.

The other three did not leave their swords in their hands, and they still looked extremely alert.

They don’t seem to have any respect for Miss Xie Xiaoyu.

Zhu Zixuan said lightly: “This king is not in the habit of waiting outside the door.”

After finishing speaking, a momentum broke out from the body and rushed towards the three of them!

The three of them instantly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they raised their long swords one after another.

Although they didn’t move at all, the murderous aura revealed by their swords was getting heavier and heavier.

Zhu Zixuan smiled slightly. There was a distance of about ten feet between him and the three of them.

In this empty ten feet, at this moment, two incomparable terrifying forces are attacking each other.

The breeze picked up a fallen leaf, fell into this space, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In this ten-foot space, it seems that there are tens of millions of sharp swords, constantly slashing each other!

At this moment, no matter what falls into it, it will be chopped into tens of millions of pieces and completely reduced to ashes!

Xie Xiaoyu’s face was a little pale, and she huddled behind Zhu Zixuan, but her eyes shone with excitement.

She knew that although the few swordsmen in the Hidden Sword Hut didn’t even have a decent name, each of them was a genius in the way of swordsmanship.

The three of them joined forces, even if they were ordinary grand masters, they would definitely not be their opponents.

At this moment, King Xiaoyao was carrying his hands on his back, and he was able to compete with these three people just by his momentum. It can be seen that the Shaolin rumors are not false.

Zhu Zixuan took a step forward, and the expressions of the three swordsmen changed slightly, and they involuntarily took a step back.

At this moment, the aura of the two sides is intersecting, and they will not retreat. The fallen leaf just now is their end.

If Zhu Zixuan advances again, they can only retreat.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.

Finally, Zhu Zixuan stepped into the dilapidated courtyard called Hidden Sword Hut!

As soon as Zhu Zixuan entered, the door closed with a “bang”, leaving Xie Xiaoyu with a stunned expression outside the door.

After entering the door, Zhu Zixuan withdrew his momentum and looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

But the three swordsmen seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, almost falling into a state of collapse.

At this moment, his whole body was drenched, as if he had just been picked up from the water.

At this time, an old man in gray came to him (cbda), smiled slightly, and said, “It’s my fault that I didn’t inform you in advance. Thank you, my lord, for your mercy.”

Zhu Zixuan believed that this sentence was true, because as Xie Xiaofeng, he would never do such a deliberately difficult thing.

This person is naturally Xie Xiaofeng.

The reason why Zhu Zixuan thought he was an old man was because his voice sounded extremely old.

But judging from his face, there are no wrinkles on his face, and there are not many silver threads between his beard and hair.

Just looking at his appearance, he looks like he’s in his thirties at most.

Only the tiredness in his eyes and the old voice gave off the feeling of an old man.

Xie Xiaofeng welcomed Zhu Zixuan into a thatched pavilion.

This is an extremely simple thatched pavilion. There is nothing in the hall, only two straw futons.

Xie Xiaofeng sat down on one of the futons, stretched out his hand and said, “I’m sorry, I only have this kind of straw mat here.”

Zhu Zixuan smiled slightly and sat down on the futon.

Xie Xiaofeng looked at him, his eyes filled with approval, and said, “I can see that you are not a talkative person.”

Zhu Zixuan smiled and said, “It’s not true.”

Xie Xiaofeng smiled and said, “I wasn’t either before.”

His tone was lonely and sad: “But now I’ve become too talkative, which means I’m old.”

“However, it’s only in this place that I become talkative.”

Section 156

“When no one is around, I often talk to myself alone. Do you know why?”

Zhu Zixuan frowned slightly, and said, “I don’t have the habit of guessing riddles either.”

This sentence was not very polite, but Xie Xiaofeng didn’t look angry at all, instead he said with a smile: “That’s right, only older people like to talk around the bush.”

While speaking, Xie Xiaofeng’s eyes showed some sense of loneliness.

Zhu Zixuan looked around a few times.

This is indeed not a place where people can feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Deserted, decadent, desolate, depressed, there is a breath of death everywhere, without any vitality.

Any high-spirited person will become dull and depressed after staying in this kind of place for a long time.

But someone like Xie Xiaofeng who has profound knowledge of swordsmanship should not be influenced by the outside world.

Xie Xiaofeng said directly: “The reason why I am like this is because I don’t have a sword in my hand.”

Zhu Zixuan knew that the meaning of this sentence, of course, did not mean that Xie Xiaofeng needed to rely on the sword to strengthen his courage.

Xie Xiaofeng is a swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of kendo. He regards the sword as his life and his soul.

Without a sword in his hand, in his view, it was as if he had no life, no soul.

Then he is just an ordinary and frail old man.

This, perhaps, is an attempt made by Xie Xiaofeng to cross the realm of heaven and man.

Xie Xiaofeng saw from Zhu Zixuan’s face that he understood the meaning of his words, so he became a little happy and said, “Actually, I haven’t carried a sword anymore in the past twenty years.”

“Although there used to be a divine sword in the Divine Sword Villa, I threw it into the bottom of the river long ago.”

Of course, Zhu Zixuan knew about this.

It was during the last battle between Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan. Yan Shisan thought and thought hard, and finally created his fifteenth sword.

The sword of death between heaven and earth!

This sword defeated Xie Xiaofeng, who was invincible at the time,But it was Yan Shisan who died.

Just because Yan Shisan felt that the sword was too terrifying and shouldn’t be left in this world.

So he took himself and Fifteen Swords away together.

Afterwards, Xie Xiaofeng sank his saber into the river.

Xie Xiaofeng’s voice was very calm: “Although the Excalibur has sunk in the river, the name of Excalibur Villa is still there. That’s because I am still here.”

The realm after Xie Xiaofeng abandoned his sword is actually the realm that Ximen Chuuxue dreamed of and wanted to enter.

Zhu Zixuan said lightly: “You don’t have a sword in your hand, but you have a sword in your heart. The name of Shenjian Villa will naturally not fall.”

There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart.

Anything can be a sword in his hand, a branch, even a thread, can be a sword.

Xie Xiaofeng’s eyes lit up. Being able to say these words is enough to prove that Zhu Zixuan is also a master in the way of swordsmanship.

But after hearing Zhu Zixuan’s next words, Xie Xiaofeng was completely stunned.

“You are now groping for the realm where there is no sword in your hand and no sword in your heart, right?”

“That’s why you have to set up guard sword slaves at the door, just because you at this moment are really just an ordinary old man.”

“No matter who it is, they can easily kill you.”

Hearing Zhu Zixuan’s words, Xie Xiaofeng felt like a stormy sea in his heart.

There is no sword in the hand, and there is no sword in the heart.

This is what he discovered after more than ten years of retreat. It is the ultimate in swordsmanship.

Now, he is still figuring it out.

But what is certain is that his direction is not wrong, but so far, there are still loopholes.

Because as long as he leaves this courtyard, his strength will be far better than before, even infinitely close to the realm of heaven and man.

It’s just that when he returns to this courtyard, he will become a helpless old man.

But Xie Xiaofeng also knows that only in this courtyard can he make up for this flaw and break through to become a real celestial being.

Whether it is the state of Wujian or Xie Xiaofeng’s current state, it should be a secret that no one in the world can know.

But now Zhu Zixuan pointed it out.

In other words, at this moment, if Zhu Zixuan is willing, he can easily kill Xie Xiaofeng.

With Xie Xiaofeng’s determination, he couldn’t help showing a little horror.

After a long time, Xie Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: “Are all the young people today so scary?”

Zhu Zixuan smiled faintly, and asked, “You invited me here today because you want to ask for a sword?”

As soon as the Shaolin battle was over, Xie Xiaofeng asked his daughter to invite him to visit.

The reason for this is self-evident.

In all likelihood, it was because of his Heavenly Asking Sword.

After all, Xie Xiaofeng has been stuck in the realm of half-step heaven and man for quite some time.

At this time, Xie Xiaofeng’s eyes were a little brighter, and he said, “I originally wanted to use the prince’s sword to see.”

“It’s just because although I have explored the realm of no sword, I am not completely sure whether my direction is correct.”

“Especially in these years, the practice of swordsmanship has never improved. I can’t help but feel a little doubtful.”

“But now, rather than looking at the sword, I would like to ask the prince, what does the prince think about the realm without a sword?”.
