In a tavern in South Chu.
"Have you heard of the Langya Pavilion?" A middle-aged man was holding a bowl of strong wine with a red face. He was talking excitedly, and saliva flew from his mouth. "Hmm? Foreigners, do you know?"
Sitting next to the middle-aged man was a slightly thin youth. He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He was dressed in white cloth and his long hair was combed into a bun on his head. He was originally a handsome man, but his expression was slightly dull. The young man shook his head in a daze.
"Hai, you don't even know Langya Pavilion? That's a place where there's nothing in the world that you don't know about.”The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and continued,"As long as you have money, even if the current emperor has a few strands of hair, the Langya Pavilion will know who Fu Ling Saintess dreamed of last night. Of course, you have to be able to afford it.”
"Oh, just an intelligence agency.”
"What is it? Intelligence agency? What is an intelligence agency?" The drunk middle-aged man shook his head and thought that it was just the young man's nonsense.
"Do we really know everything as long as we can afford it?”The young man's eyes suddenly lit up with interest and he quickly asked,""Then I want to know how I can go home. Can Langya Pavilion answer me?”
"Do we still need to trouble the Langya Pavilion for this?" The middle-aged man waved his hand indifferently. It was rare for someone to be willing to chat with him. He puffed out his stomach and ordered another pot of turbid wine from the waiter. He patted his chest and said,"Tell me where your home is, and I'll point you in the right direction. How about that? However, I won't charge you. I just want two bottles of old wine.”
"It's true!"
"I... I don't know. Burp, I mean what I say!"
"My home is in Tianjin." the young man hurriedly said. His tone was urgent, and his eyes were filled with desire. It was obvious that the young man was very anxious.
"Tianjin? Oh, you mean the Ningguo Manor?" The middle-aged man pointed to the north of the tavern. "The Ningguo Manor is in Northern Yan. It's seven to eight thousand li away from here! If you want to go back, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot.”
"Ningguo Manor? Northern Yan?" The young man sat in a daze for a long time. He snatched the broken porcelain bowl from the middle-aged man's hand and drank it in one gulp. Because he drank too quickly, some wine slipped from the young man's mouth.
"Hey, why are you fighting over the wine?" The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He picked up a bowl on the table and poured a bowl of wine in front of the youth. "Come and drink this. It's rare for someone to want to drink with me today.”
The young man ignored the middle-aged man and frowned as he wiped his mouth and spat. As he walked away, he said,"It's f * cking awful. It's not even as strong as beer."。。”
The middle-aged man shook his head and continued to enjoy himself after calling him a weirdo. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted at the door,"Hey, can you tell me what beer is?”
Two years later.
The Langya Board contained all the talents in the world.
Langya Pavilion. It was the most mysterious place in the world, but at the same time, it was also the most open place in the world.
Anyone in the world who had heard of the Langya Pavilion would know that it was located at the top of Langya Mountain. It was a beautiful and elegant manor with pavilions and pavilions, beautiful women and spiritual servants. There was a wide stone road outside the garden that meandered down to the official road at the foot of the mountain. People from all over the world could easily reach this place and enter its gates at will. Other than the corresponding fees for food and accommodation, Langya Pavilion had almost no other restrictions on guests.
However, even if it was so open to the world, no one had been able to figure out what kind of organization it was and how it worked.
People only knew that no matter what you wanted to know, as long as you brought enough silver into the Langya Pavilion, you would be able to get a satisfactory answer. For decades, the signboard had not been flipped once.
The rankings that were updated once a year were a big gift from Langya Pavilion to the world of martial artists. The world's top ten experts, the world's top ten sects, the world's top ten tycoons, the world's top ten beauties, and the world's top ten young masters.
Today was the day when the five rankings were updated.
Those martial arts masters, martial arts sects, wealthy merchants, beautiful women, and famous young masters who had risen to fame in the martial world within a year were all on the list. Not only the people in the martial world, but also the military officials serving in the imperial court, as well as the young masters of prestigious families were all on the list.
There were no major changes on the rankings. Those who should be on the rankings were still on the rankings. If there was no chance, there was still no chance to be on the rankings. The most eye-catching thing was that Jiang Zuo Alliance had made great progress in the top ten sects ranking. After five years, they had moved up another level. Now, Jiang Zuo Alliance was ranked second in the top ten sects ranking. The first place was still Hidden Sword Sect, who had suddenly appeared a year ago and then won the first place last year.
This Hidden Sword Sect was very mysterious. Even the Langya Pavilion did not know who the higher-ups of the Hidden Sword Sect were. The world only knew that this mysterious Hidden Sword Sect suddenly appeared a year and a half ago and spent a lot of money to buy a mountain range at the border of Northern Yan, establishing the Hidden Sword Sect.
After the Hidden Sword Sect appeared, they had only done one thing, and it was the only thing that the Hidden Sword Sect had done, which made them the top scorer!
One and a half years ago, the Northern Yan imperial court suddenly sent troops to exterminate a group of bandits entrenched in the mountain range near the Hidden Sword Sect. The Northern Yan army, who had gone crazy with killing, wanted to attack the Hidden Sword Sect and take credit for it!
Ten days later, 37,000 human heads that had been processed with saltpeter appeared in front of the gate of the Northern Yan's palace. No one noticed it. Neither the imperial guards nor the patrol camp knew how these human heads appeared. Later, someone recognized that these human heads were all from the Northern Yan's army that was fighting against the bandits.
The imperial court of Northern Yan was furious and threatened to send troops to destroy the Hidden Sword Sect.
That night, the Emperor of Northern Yan, Yuwen Jue, had three strands of his beard plucked out and placed on the table in the main hall of the Northern Yan's palace. Northern Yan was scared, and sent an envoy to the Hidden Sword Sect to sue for peace. They also gave the Hidden Sword Sect a nearby mountain range and a city at the foot of the mountain. From then on, the Hidden Sword Sect jumped from an unknown small sect to the number one sect in the world!
There was also an easter egg on the Langya Talents List. Xiao Jingrui, who had been ranked second on the Langya Young Master List for four years, actually dropped one place and became third. As the son of the Heavenly Spring Manor and the Marquis of Ningguo's Residence, his background was already very bizarre. His two identities brought him double the love and double the honor, but at the same time, it also brought him double the hardship. Xiao Jingrui knew from an early age that he was different from his other siblings. He had to meet the expectations of two pairs of parents at the same time. The Xie family valued literature, while the Zhuo family valued martial arts. Xie Yu wanted her son to master the military strategy, while Zhuo Dingfeng wanted her son to be familiar with Jianghu. Although he was under great pressure, Xiao Jingrui finally lived up to expectations and performed very well. His thesis shocked the Hanlin Academy and his martial arts skills could draw a sword in Jianghu. In addition, he was born with a handsome and handsome appearance. According to his best friend Yan Yujin, the last scholar on the Langya Talent List, it was enough to be perfect.。。”
However, this young hero, who was publicly acknowledged as perfect, had struggled for four years on the most authoritative Noble Young Masters List in the world. He had only managed to get second place, and it seemed like he could no longer fight for it. But now, he had actually fallen to third place. Fortunately, this young and vigorous young master was actually surprisingly gentle and had never been competitive. It didn't matter if he was first or second, as long as he could stay on the Lang Ya Board, he would be satisfied.
Xiao Jingrui didn't care, but those who were watching the fun cared.
The top of the list was still the leader of the Jiang Zuo Alliance, the Qilin Scholar Mei Changsu. This person didn't need to be said, everyone knew the ability of this Qilin Scholar. The second person was the one who could push Xiao Jingrui down. Who was this person?
Everyone lowered their heads slightly and saw a name: Buddha's Hand Ghost Doctor Xiao Chu!
