Chapter 56 Challenge
The night is like splashing ink, the cold wind is biting, and the blue spirit boat is flying in the sky.
Although Wu Gang was sitting cross-legged next to Zheng Tai, he did not communicate with him. He turned around and said, "Master Fei, can you tell me about the Nangong family? I don't know much about it."
"sure."
Even though Wu Gang has not yet attached himself, Ximen Fei's attitude towards him is much gentler than towards Zheng Tai.
"The direct and collateral lines of the Nangong family are also separated from each other. There are three monks in the magic realm, whose strength is slightly stronger than that of the Ximen family. The ancestor of Nangong is the second disciple of Emperor Xi and is in the early stage of the magic realm."
Su Fei's eyes flashed: "Master Fei, why are the Ximen Family and the Nangong Family facing tit-for-tat?"
"The four major families have always been competing with each other. I heard that the eldest princess was a beautiful woman, and the ancestors of the two families were her suitors..."
The eldest princess’s final marriage to Patriarch Ximen was related to the reputation of the Patriarch of the family, and Ximen Fei did not finish the story.
Wang Mang suddenly spoke up: "There is another secret about the Ximen family. It is rumored that Ximen Chi had a second brother who was also a suitor of the eldest princess. Later, he was killed by Ximen Chi."
…
When they returned to Shuxiangyuan, the two servants were practicing.
Gu Xuan stayed in the study, finishing sorting the treasures in the storage bag, staring at the arc knife on the table, thoughtfully.
"Senior, training servants is too trivial. Can we use the power of the Nangong family for revenge in the future?"
Wang Mang spoke slowly and hit the nail on the head: "Any external force is illusory, and one's own strength is fundamental."
"According to the rules of the martial arts world, every injustice has its own owner and every debt has its own owner. As long as you kill Ximen Qi and Wang Ling, it will be considered your revenge."
"If you want to kill Ximen Shu and fulfill my wish, you need strong strength, and there is a long way to go."
"If you want to eradicate the Ximen family, in addition to crushing strength, you also need time. It has been hundreds of years since Daxi was founded. The three great sects and the four major families have long been entrenched. The imperial law is strict and will never allow you to massacre your family."
"If I had only killed Ximen Shu at the beginning, with the help of the soul-devouring insects and my own combat power, I would have already avenged my blood revenge and would not have failed in vain."
"Revenge only according to your ability. Killing too much will inevitably lead to inner demons."
"You are currently in a dangerous situation and walking on thin ice alone. There is nothing wrong with training servants to be your eyes and ears."
"As for Nangong Shang, you might as well wait for the opportunity to make friends. Even if it doesn't help with revenge, it will still be beneficial to cultivation."
"
…”
Gu Xuan listened silently as he spoke from the bottom of his heart, like a spring breeze.
…
"Zheng Tai is interested."
Seeing Zheng Tai arriving overnight, Ximen Hao was quite pleased and smiled all over his face.
Ximenjie was also drinking in the Haoqing Courtyard. Because he was so depressed today, he didn't have a good look towards Zheng Tai.
Zheng Tai still addressed him respectfully, and then said provocatively: "Master Jie, Su Fei doesn't know what is good or bad, so he moved to Yixiang Courtyard overnight to live with Ximen Xiang."
Ximenjie snorted coldly, and his face became even more ugly: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine wine. I think you can avoid this young master. Sooner or later, I will make her look good."
Ximen Hao poured a glass of spiritual wine for Zheng Tai: "The Lingshan trial is over, how is Ximen Shu's combat power?"
Zheng Tai took a greedy sip of the spirit wine and then said seriously: "Master Hao, I came here all night to tell you something important..."
Ximen Hao listened quietly and was quite surprised: "Nangong Shang actually wants to challenge Ximen Shu. He is brave enough. We have to watch a good show tomorrow."
Ximenjie gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed: "I didn't expect that Ximen Shu didn't cleanse the acupoints for half a year, but he was practicing magic skills and even perfected the body control method."
Ximen Hao thought: "Ximen Shu is after all a matter of re-cultivation. He once developed the power of telepathy, and it is normal for him to be able to practice the body control method in the early stage of the True Power Realm."
Zheng Tai lowered his voice: "Master Hao, among the Miao Dao, you are the most suitable to receive Nangong Shang. Then you can appropriately exaggerate Ximen Shu's combat power and stir up Nangong Shang's desire to fight."
"What a good idea!" Ximen Hao's eyes lit up, "We have no losses from this move, and we can also teach Ximen Shu a lesson. It's best to let him get hurt."
…
The next morning, Gu Xuan sat cross-legged in the bedroom, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Both servants already knew that their young master was going to compete with Nangong Shang today, and they both looked solemn.
Xun Dong's joy of getting the arc knife completely faded away. He sat on a stone chair in the courtyard and looked at the closed door from time to time.
It wasn't until the four Taoist Miao people came together that Gu Xuan walked out of the bedroom and sat down with them in the living room.
"Nangong Shang has indeed come to the villa. He has met the owner of the villa and challenged Brother Shu. He has received the owner's permission and is being received by Ximen Hao."
Before the servant could serve him the spiritual tea, Ximen Fei spoke loudly.
"I ordered people to guard the dojo. Once Nangong Shang is in place, he will immediately set off a signal to tell me to wait. Due to the rush of the challenge time,
We were unable to collect any more information about Nangong Shang."
"Don't worry, Fei brother, I'm ready. This competition will not bring shame to the Ximen family."
Gu Xuan glanced at Ximen. The other party's actions may have been related to being despised by Nangong Shang last night, but he was more sincere than Ximen Hao.
If I were really Ximen Shu, I might have attached myself to Ximen Fei.
Chu Ke brought five cups of spiritual tea and served them one by one. Gu Xuan ordered: "Ask Xun Dong to go to the roof. When you see the message tube over the dojo, speak out immediately."
Ximen Xiang was a little worried: "Brother Shu, Fei Mei and I have calculated that Nangong Shang comes to challenge him. He comes prepared. I'm afraid he has perfected the method of controlling strength."
"Sister Xiang has no confidence in me?" Gu Xuan chuckled, "I'm not bragging. All the Taoists in the villa can't compete with me if they join forces. Just listen to this and don't spread it. Otherwise, someone will say that this young master is arrogant and conceited."
big."
Except for the last few moves of the "Thirteen Techniques of the Noon Sword" and the Phantom Technique, Gu Xuan didn't intend to hold anything back, so he revealed some trends in advance to avoid it being difficult for several Taoist seedlings to accept.
Wu Gang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but took it back, and then sighed softly: "I hope Master Shu didn't brag. We will find out later."
Su Fei glanced at Gu Xuan with a hint of surprise.
Ximen Fei touched his palms and smiled: "Then I wish Brother Shu a great victory and a great success for the Ximen family!"
Gu Xuan thought for a while and deliberately misled: "The ancestor insisted on letting me use this body to seize the body regardless of his spiritual roots. He just considered the grand ceremony and took a fancy to this body's qualifications. Naturally there will be some secrets."
Compared to what he said just now, these words are more convincing. The expressions of the four Taoist seedlings changed, and they secretly thought about it.
Wang Mang chuckled: "It would be a good idea to pass on the origins of the Thirteen Wu Sword and Phantom Techniques to Ximen Shu."
On the roof, Xun Dong and Chu Ke stared intently with their eyes wide open.
A hissing sound.
A ray of flame quickly rose into the sky, turning into a pattern of fireworks and the shape of a mountain peak, which was spectacular.
Chu Ke looked excited and shouted loudly: "Young Master, young master, let's set off a signal over the dojo."
Ximen Fei put down the tea cup and stood up: "It seems that Nangong Shang has arrived at the dojo, and I'm going to meet him."
Su Fei smiled gracefully: "If Master Youshu takes action, Nangong Shang will be completely defeated and leave in embarrassment."
Chapter completed!
