"Reverse Flow River"
After Su Xuan read it, he placed the note on the candle and burned it to ashes.
"Old Guo's intelligence work is really pervasive.”
He chuckled.
But now that the situation was clear, there was no point in continuing to hide.
The two sides had to fight. As for retreating, Old Guo, the head of Six Fan School, had been operating in Ming Dynasty for decades.
It was almost impossible for them to escape unscathed.
After all, Mount Longhu and the Heyang Imperial Family still had the blood of Old Guo's disciples on their hands.
If Old Guo didn't come up with some thunderous means, he might not even be able to keep his title as a giant hero in the future.
After breakfast, he slung his sword over his shoulder and went to the main hall. Old Yellow and Autumn Leaf had also finished their breakfast.
She packed her luggage and waited.
"Brother Lu, why do I feel that you are different from usual today?”
Autumn Leaf sized him up suspiciously.
"I have the same feeling."
Xi Liang Young Master nodded.
"However, I can't tell what exactly has changed.”
"I must be more handsome than yesterday.”
Su Xuan teased.
The three were speechless.
There are naturally changes
Stepping into the Great Vajra Realm and cultivating the indestructible body of the Vajra Realm was a return to simplicity.
It was less sharp and more otherworldly.
"Guests, these are your horses.”
The servant boy who delivered the food in the morning walked out with the horse and two big bags of dry food."This is the dried meat and wine prepared according to the instructions.”
"Thank you."
Su Xuan mounted his horse.
"I hope all of you have a safe journey.”
The servant cupped his fists.
"Farewell."
The youth also cupped his fists.
Su Xuan rode ahead and pulled the reins. The yellow-brown horse galloped out of Guangyang City.
They stepped onto the official road to Western Liang.
The further north they went, the stronger the wind and snow became. The road became more rugged and difficult to travel on, and there was mud everywhere.
There were bandits everywhere, so there were hardly any people on the road. Even if there were merchant carriages, they would travel together.
The biting cold wind blew, and the bamboo hat was covered in snowflakes.
"So cold."
The young man was wrapped in a cloak, and he was wearing two cotton-padded clothes. Even so, his teeth couldn't help but chatter when the wind blew.
She could not help but look at Su Xuan enviously.
"Old Huang, when do you think I can be like Shopkeeper Lyu, wearing only two layers of clothing in the middle of winter?”
"Shopkeeper Lyu's cultivation base has reached a great success, and his inner energy is very strong. He has long been immune to the cold and heat.”
Old Huang explained.
"Old Huang, can you stop talking nonsense?”
Su Xuan's voice came from the front." You're the one who's walking around naked. I'm a gentleman."”
"Giggle!"
Autumn Leaf's laughter was so loud that she was shaking like a flower.
Old Yellow rolled his eyes and hurriedly said,""Shopkeeper Lyu, I was just saying.”
He took out a palm-sized wine gourd from his pocket, opened the lid, and took a small sip.
"Good, Old Yellow, you dare to eat alone.”
When the sharp-eyed youth saw the wine gourd, his eyes lit up and he snatched it away.
He took it and gulped it down.
"Young Master, slow down. Drink it sparingly and don't waste it.”
Old Yellow's heart ached.
"Where did you get the yellow wine?"
Young Master Xi Liang covered the lid and threw it at Su Xuan.""Shopkeeper Lyu, drink some wine to warm your body.”
Su Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and took a big gulp.
"Why does this wine look so much like the old yellow wine in my shop?"”
"Heh heh, the shopkeeper's nose is really sharp.”
Old Yellow put away the wine gourd and said embarrassedly,""Before I left, I packed some from the inn.”
Su Xuan wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and said,""It is about eighty miles from Grand Sun Prefecture to Reverse Flow River, we are not in a hurry, we can take our time.”
"Reverse Flow River has a friend waiting, tell him to wait a little longer.”
The few of them naturally understood what he meant by friends.
"Who is it?"
The young man was curious.
"I don't know."
Su Xuan shook his head.
"In the land of the three counties, the younger brother of the head of the Wang family, known for his poetry and sword, Wang Qiuchan.”
Autumn Leaf said.
His expression was solemn." This person is really amazing. He entered the martial world at the age of 15 and left the martial world at the age of 20. He studied in the Falling Flower Pavilion for ten years and crossed the Vajra Realm and the Profound Finger Realm. He jumped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
It was said that he was the disciple of Master Meng of the Sage Manor.”
"Eight years ago, at the bank of the River of Tilting, he used a poem called Falling Flowers to kill the Wicked Sect Master Su Wen Tian.”
"Five years ago, he went north alone and entered the desert. He destroyed the three tribes of Tuoba and captured Tuoba Chanyu alive before presenting him to Heyang Imperial City.”
"Three years ago, I entered Western Liang and stepped into the Wang Mansion for three days and nights.”
"I didn't expect that this time I would actually come out of the Falling Flower Pavilion for you.”
Autumn Leaf's eyes were filled with ridicule.
The youth's scalp went numb as he looked at Su Xuan.
"This person is very strong."
Old Huang's expression was solemn.
"How did you know?"
The young man raised his eyebrows.”
Old Huang's performance these days had subverted the youngster's impression of him.
Was this still the same Old Yellow who ate everything, did everything he could, and ran away cowardly?
"Tell me, who are you? When did he possess Old Yellow?”
The young man pretended to be fierce.
"Aiya, Young Master, stop joking.”
Old Huang grinned. Just as he was about to laugh, the cold wind poured into his missing front teeth, making him shiver.
"What can I hide from you?"
"I didn't hear this from storytellers, but I heard it from other Jianghu people bragging.”
The youth thought about it and agreed. Old Yellow was so timid, how could he know martial arts? There were a few times when he was bitten on the butt by a dog and he kept barking in pain.
"Wang Qiuchan."
Su Xuan rubbed his chin.”
The three religions were not as strong as martial artists in the same realm, but not all of them were. The world did not lack geniuses.
"Let's go."
Slowing down their speed, the four of them rode their horses and slowly moved forward along the official road.
Even though he had seen too much snow, he felt bored. There was not even a small town on the way.
There were many roads to the north from Guangyang Prefecture, and the road to Reverse Flow River was the most difficult to take, because it led to Western Liang, a cold and bitter place.
Snow everywhere
Sky
ground
mountain
tree
Snow was falling all over the mountains and plains. The cold wind rustled and whistled, echoing in the vast white land.
Along the way, they did not even encounter a small town or village where they could rest.
"Shopkeeper, do you see that mountain?”
Autumn Leaf pointed to the tallest mountain in the distance."As long as we pass through the foot of that mountain, we will reach Reverse Flow River.”
"Do you know why it is called Reverse Flow River?”
She kept him in suspense.
"I don't know."
Su Xuan shook his head.
"Because the water of that river will flow backwards from east to west after freezing in winter.”
Autumn Leaf explained," And it's like this every year. As long as the river freezes, it will flow against the current, hence the name Reverse Flow River.”
"Is it really that magical?"
The youth shook his head.”
"It's true. I'm not lying to you."
"If you don't believe me, you'll know if I'm telling the truth when we reach the river."”
"Giddyup."
"I really want to see if that's the case.”
Su Xuan whipped his horse, and the yellow-brown horse tore through the wind and snow. In the blink of an eye, it had already traveled over a hundred feet, and a mountain breeze blew from the distant valley.
It was mixed with goose feather-like snow, splashing down and hitting his body, turning into a bone-piercing cold air.
Turning to the foot of the mountain, there were pine trees and ancient trees blocking the snow. The snow was much lighter. The winding path led to a secluded place, and there was a faint fragrance.
Clear spring water dripped from the rocks and flowed into the stone stream.
The spring water came out from the ground. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It would not freeze. They walked along the path at the foot of the mountain for about an hour.
it was getting late
The evening wind is cold
After turning around the foot of the mountain, the view before him suddenly became clear. The river flowed from the depths of the mountain stream, and the river ran through the mountain range. On both sides of the river were cliffs. On the river, an iron chain bridge spanned across the two banks. It was rusted and covered with templates. It had been exposed to the sun and rain, and it had long rotted.
There was a hole in the east and a hole in the west. Snow was falling and ice was dense.
Some of the holes were covered in ice and snow. If one were to step on them carelessly, they would immediately fall more than ten feet into the river.
"See, I told you there was no such magical river in this world. It's clearly a rumor in the martial world.”
The young man dismounted and stood beside the iron chain bridge, looking at the river. The green river water was like a flowing gem, flowing from upstream to downstream.
In the green river, one could vaguely see many fish of various sizes swimming in the water, either downstream or upstream.
Its tail twitched and bounced into the water. It suddenly jumped out of the water, stretched its body, and fell into it, causing ripples.
"Didn't I say so?"
The girl looked at the Xi Liang young master as if he was a fool."The river needs to be frozen before it can flow back.”
"Unfortunately, today is not a good day.”
Autumn Leaf felt rather regretful.
"Rome wasn't built in a day."
A hearty laughter came from the other side of the river. The snow that was originally splashing and melting when it fell into the water.
Suddenly there was a change
The snowflakes fell into the water and instantly turned into thumb-sized layers of ice. The snowflakes were densely packed, and in the blink of an eye, half of the river was frozen.
The night breeze blew the snow across the river, and the ice layer spread. After a few breaths, the huge Reverse Flow River was covered in thick ice.
"It's frozen."
"It's frozen."
Autumn Leaf cheered.
"The river is about to start flowing backwards.”
sure enough
When the river surface was completely frozen, the water that was flowing downstream suddenly stopped and then reversed.
The river downstream began to flow upstream.
"The river is really flowing backwards."
The young man was surprised.
"I knew it."
The young girl was tsundere.
"Big sister Autumn Leaf isn't just beautiful, she's also very knowledgeable.”
"As expected of an extraordinary woman."
The Xi Liang Young Master's rainbow-like farts came one after another, making the young girl very happy.
"This Reverse Flow River was formed hundreds of years ago, because two powerful warriors fought and accidentally opened up the earth fire hole downstream.
In addition, this section of the river was flat, and there was a sunken area upstream.
When it flowed through the underground fire vent downstream, the temperature was not high enough to suppress the fire vent, causing the water temperature to rise.
At the same time, it caused the river to reverse flow, a rare spectacle in this world.”
The middle-aged man stood on the opposite shore. He was wearing a loose robe and a cloak, and he held a long sword in his hand.
He had a handsome face, about thirty or forty years old, a beard under his chin, and a pair of spirited eyes.
With such attire, he was definitely a scholar.
The man looked at each other across the river and spoke with a humble and polite voice.
"So it's him."
Xi Liang's eyes widened.
"I haven't seen you for many years.”
the man said.
"Of course it's good. If Mister Wang doesn't block the way, that's even better.”
The young man gritted his teeth.
"I owe you a favor from back then and have no choice but to return it.”
This person was Wang Qiuchan, the son of the Wang family of the three counties. She had the aura of someone who had shocked the world.
"Shopkeeper Lyu, I heard that you are the successor of the old God of Swords. May I know where the old God of Swords is now?”
Wang Qiuchan looked at Su Xuan.
"Of course,"
Su Xuan nodded.
"Shopkeeper Lyu, please do me a favor and let me take this Xi Liang Young Master away.”
" I guarantee in the name of the Wang family that his life will be safe," Wang Qiuchan said." However, he won't be able to return to Western Liang for thirty years."”
"Shopkeeper Lyu has no relationship with this person, so why should you get involved in this muddy water and go against the world?”
this moment
The young man's heart was in his throat again, afraid that if Su Xuan agreed, he would really have nowhere to go.
Although Wang Qiuchan had said that her life was safe, she had not returned to Western Liang for thirty years.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to imprisoning him for 30 years? In that case, he might as well die to avoid torture.
Old Huang also secretly gathered his zhenqi. As long as Su Xuan nodded, he would immediately take action and flee with his young master.
One son of the Wang family was enough to deal with. If a monster like Su Xuan was added to the mix, Old Huang was no fool.
"I'm sorry."
Su Xuan shook his head." Sir, you traveled thousands of miles to Reverse Flow River Mouth because of a favor. I owe you a favor as well, and I promised to send this Western Liang young master back.”
Wang Qiuchan's expression stiffened. In his opinion, Su Xuan was just fooling him or mocking him.
"Since that's the case, let's rely on our own abilities.”
Wang Qiuchan swung her long sleeves and unsheathed her three-foot-long Qingfeng Sword. A mighty burst of Genuine Qi soared into the sky, tearing apart the snowstorm.
The iron chain bridge shook as a tyrannical pressure swept out. The Reverse Flow River beneath them raised waves and crashed against the ice.
"I've long heard that the son of the Third Prince entered the Dao with Confucianism, and is proficient in both poetry and sword. Today is a good day to see how good he is.”
Su Xuan didn't think much of it. His shoulders shook slightly as he unsheathed the Green Bamboo Sword and held it in his hand. The edge of the sword was cold and sharp.
The two powerful sword forces collided. Ripples spread in the void, the river under their feet churned, and the iron chain crossed the sky.
The sword didn't move, but the sword momentum took the lead. Thunder rumbled in the void, and the boundless wind and snow rushed toward Wang Qiuchan and gathered behind him.
Under the hazy sky, the storm roared and the mountains shook. The grass and trees were wrapped in the storm and soared into the sky.
"The night is dark, the wind is high, and the snow is vast.”
With just a poem, his killing intent skyrocketed. It was hard to imagine that such a scholarly student would have such a terrifying killing intent.
Furthermore, this was the killing intent of the heavens, causing all living beings to tremble. It was using one's heart to trigger the heart of the heavens, and using one's killing intent to trigger the killing intent of the heavens and the earth.
When the scholarly faction broke through to the Xiantian realm, they would reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
"With a single thought, two blades can split mountains and rivers.”
moved
Holding the Qingfeng Sword, he leaped forward. His Confucian robe fluttered as he stepped on the wind and snow, flipping the sword in his hand.
The sword slashed down at Su Xuan. The sword was his bone, the snow was his body, and killing intent was his blade.
A sword in the wind and snow
"Tsk!"
The sword in Su Xuan's hand trembled. He tapped the tip of his foot and charged out like an arrow leaving the bow. In midair, he slashed out with his three-foot-long Green Bamboo Sword.
The bright sword light was vast and mighty, like a bright moon on the sea, illuminating the mountains and rivers.
"Boom!"
The two sword Qi collided, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. The ice layer beneath their feet shattered, and a green water pillar shot into the sky.
The sword qi storm collided and drowned the entire valley. Those with insufficient cultivation would be cut into pieces by the dense sword qi in an instant.
"Poem and sword, nothing more."
In the secluded valley, Su Xuan laughed loudly." The poems are rubbish, and the sword techniques are also unsightly.”
The focus of the Celestial Phenomenon was life and death battles. Naturally, one had to mess up his Dao heart first.
"Boom!"
The two swords collided, sending sparks flying. Genuine Qi surged, and thunder rumbled in the void.
"Your swordsmanship is a little too weak. I'm afraid it's not even one percent of your master's.”
Wang Qiuchan was also a shrewd person." I'm afraid you're a swindler. Knowing that the old God of Swords is no longer in the world, you came out to pretend to be the successor. You're really a vile person."”
