Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 763 Tao changes Yin and Yang (two in one)

Two days later, Gu Xun saw off Xue Nu.

However, he did not personally send Xue Nu back to the Mojia City. He only sent her away from Xianyang City.

Life is so long, there is no need to rush for everything. Anyway, with Gu Xun's care, no one in the Qin State will touch her. In addition to the Qin State, there are also people from the Mo family to take care of her, so there will be no danger.

At this point, the master of the Qingguang Sword was finally determined.

"So, now only the sword masters of Ziyun Sword and Ice Soul Sword have not been determined?"

In the atrium of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Jing Shao was sitting in the pavilion by the pool and said to Gu Xun beside him.

Gu Xun folded his hands on the stone table, his eyes quietly watching Ayan playing not far away, and replied:
  "Yes, but I already have a candidate for Ziyun Sword Master."

Jing Salamander was not very curious about this, but he still asked to save his face, "Who?"

"Ayan."

"Ayan?" Jing Salamander was a little surprised, and turned to look at his daughter, "Why did you choose her?"

The corners of Gu Xun's lips curled up, "Purple Cloud Sword is an auspicious sword. It is said that it can bring good luck to the sword owner."

"So I decided to give the Purple Cloud Sword to Ayan, hoping that she would be blessed with good fortune in the future."

To be honest, Gu Xun has always been deeply suspicious of the idea that Ziyun Sword symbolizes good luck. The reason is naturally the experience of the sword owner Sally. It can be said that it is as miserable as it is unlucky, and it has nothing to do with luck.

Although... the ending was pretty good.

However, Gu Xun felt that the world in Qin Dynasty was more magical than the animal world, so maybe Ziyun Sword would be more reliable.

Jing Salamander couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard this, "You are a bit too hasty to do this."

Gu Xun spread his hands and said, "I choose the sword master mainly based on my feeling. Except for the Ice Soul Sword, I can't do it casually. The other ones are just for the sake of harmony."

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who can say for sure whether these people I have chosen can really grow into suitable sword masters?"

"I'm not sure anyway."

Jing Salamander glanced at Ayan, who was playing with the iron-eating beast who was feeling weak and just wanted to hide and sleep. After pondering for a moment, he asked Gu Xun, "Do you think Ayan will grow into a person in the future?" What kind of child?”

"Hmm... It's hard to say." Gu Xun smacked his lips and replied vaguely, "But... I feel that this child may not be so worry-free in the future."

In this era, most children who are too smart will not worry their parents.

"Really..." Frightened Salamander murmured, with a warm smile on his face.

She is not very worried about whether Ayan will be rebellious in the future.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and she is very open-minded about this aspect.

………………

Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides. This is the principle of the movement of heaven and earth, and it is not subject to anyone's will.

Time flies, and the next year comes under the atmosphere of singing and dancing.

As winter recedes and early spring arrives, all things begin to revive, and human activities begin to increase again.

The State of Qin also officially launched a military offensive against the northern border of Zhao State.

In this war, the Qin State did not mobilize too many troops, but only used one legion - the Golden Fire Cavalry.

This ace cavalry unit of the Qin State, with a full strength of 50,000 people, is a pure heavy-armored cavalry unit. It can be said to be the strongest cavalry unit among the seven countries. Of course, the influence of the commander of the army must be eliminated.

Otherwise, even if Wang Jian were to lead this army, it would be very difficult to defeat Li Mu's Northern Cavalry.

The Golden Fire Cavalry has always been controlled by the Meng family, and the current commander is Meng Wu, the head of the Meng family.

However, this time the person who was ordered to lead the army was not Meng Wu, but the new star of Qin's generals, Meng Tian.

Because of Meng Tian's outstanding talents and the fact that he saved Ying Zheng in Wu Sui, he was relied upon as his confidant and favorite general, and he valued him even more than his father Meng Wu.

Although the last battle against Zhao failed, the only person responsible for the outcome of the entire war was the coach Wang Jian, which resulted in no rewards and no punishments, while Meng Tian himself still earned some military merit.

Ying Zheng took this opportunity to promote Meng Tian as the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the north.

This time when Zhao Guo marched into the northern border, he was unable to defend it. It could almost be said that his military success was in vain. Ying Zheng naturally had to leave it to his confidants and favorite generals.

However, such a war in which there was no suspense and even Zhao Guo and Li Mu gave up treatment had nothing to do with Gu Xun.

He doesn't care either.

Now he has a new trouble.

Looking at the handsome young man with blue hair in front of him, Gu Xun asked playfully:
  "You mean, you sneaked out to play without telling the elders of Tianzong?"

Xiao Lingsan smiled and scratched his head, turned his eyes and thought for a moment before correcting, "To be precise, it's not a joke, but I really can't stand the days of pure cultivation on the mountain, so I don't want to stay in Tianzong anymore."

This means that he plans to leave Tianzong.

Can disciples of various schools of thought leave their own sect at will?

In theory it really works.

The premise is that you have not learned the more important core martial arts within the sect.

Otherwise, the martial arts must be abolished first. Even so, once an outsider uses the martial arts you know, you will immediately become the first suspect. After all, the martial arts can be abolished, but the memory cannot be erased.

Of course, the various schools of thought are generally quite tolerant. Except for a certain sect—namely the Yin Yang family—there is no such thing as permission to enter or exit.

However, Xiao Ling is not among those who can leave the sect at will. What he practices is the Taoist Wanchuan Qiushui Heart Method, which is a high-level mental method that is not taught to the outside world. As a rule, martial arts must be abolished first.

Obviously, his martial arts skills have not been abolished.

The child thought that Gu Xun didn't understand the rules, so he didn't hide his plan.

Gu Xun looked at this young man and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

If Chisongzi and the others hadn't deliberately indulged themselves, how could they have allowed you, a disciple who has obtained the true inheritance, to play any treacherous tricks at will...

As early as last year, Gu Xun received a letter from Tianzong. The letter mentioned that he hoped that Gu Xun could take care of Xiaoling Yili in the future.

At that time, he thought that the child would leave Tianzong soon and find a way to join the Yin and Yang family, but he waited for two months without seeing anyone.

I didn't expect it to show up at this time.

Gu Xun has no interest in telling Xiaoling the truth.

Since Chi Songzi and the others didn't choose to tell him directly, he naturally wouldn't talk too much.

Anyway, just provide him with some help and repay Tianzong's favor.

"Then why did you leave Tianzong and find me?" Gu Xun restrained himself and made Xiaoling at a loss. He smiled in confusion and asked knowingly.

"Uh..." Xiao Ling said cautiously, "Although I have left Tianzong, I think it is best to join a sect with a backer. I wonder if the National Master can recommend it to me?"

"Yin Yang family?" Gu Xun continued to pretend not to know.

"Yes." Xiao Ling nodded hurriedly. "But I remember that you didn't think that the Yin Yang family had strict rules and wasn't suitable for you?" Gu Xun asked rhetorically.

"Well..." Xiao Ling scratched her head, "The atmosphere of the Yin Yang family may not be very good, but I have no other suitable choice."

"The Mohist philosophy of taking over the world and loving all living beings is too grand, and I can't bear it."

"Confucian legislation and regulations are even more complicated, and Xiaoshengxian Village is too far away from Xianyang."

"As for the farmers, I heard that their disciples have to do farm work. I'm afraid I'm not very good at it."

"After thinking about it, the Yin Yang family... is relatively okay. It's better to have more rules than to be bored in the mountains all the time."

Xiao Ling explained everything with dancing gestures.

"But you, Master Imperial Master, also know that the Taoist and Yin Yang sects are of the same power. If you knew that I was originally a disciple of the Taoist sect, you would definitely think that I had bad intentions and would not accept it, so I want to ask you for help."

"You are the national master of the Qin State, so the Yin and Yang family must be willing to give you face."

Gu Xun nodded repeatedly, showing that he accepted Xiao Ling's explanation.

"Hmm... I can understand the idea, but how can you be sure that I will help you?"

"This is just a small thing, but the relationship between us... can only be described in one word - a close relationship."

"Even if it's just a small matter, I don't need to help you, right?" Gu Xun asked.

"Hehe..." Xiao Ling laughed and scratched his head again, "Well, I really don't have anything to give to the Imperial Master as a reward now, but I will remember this kindness."

"When I gain a firm foothold in the Yin Yang family, won't you have a valuable enough... um... spy?"

Gu Xun curled his lips and said noncommittally, "Maybe..."

"The premise is that you must be able to really stand out in the fiercely competitive Yin and Yang family."

"I'm confident in this. Besides, didn't you also say that it's just a simple task, with a small investment, and you must bear some risks." Xiao Ling eloquently deceived Gu Xun.

Gu Xun shook his head and smiled. He stopped teasing the child and said, "Well... you convinced me, I can help you with this matter."

"Looking at your water attribute energy, you should be planning to join the Water Club, right?"

"Uh...right." Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment. He had not considered this issue before, but Gu Xun's suggestion was obviously reliable, so he nodded neatly.

Gu Xun nodded slightly, "It just so happens that I am quite familiar with the water minister of the Yin Yang family (Ehuang Nv Ying:?). I will help you later."

Xiao Ling reminded, "Master National Master, it's best to conceal my Taoist origin. I'm worried that the Yin Yang family will exclude me because of this."

Gu Xun glanced at him and laughed, "Okay."

The excuse was quite carefully thought out, but it's a pity that the careful thinking is not used on the right path. I don't understand that strength is the last word. I don't practice martial arts in Tianzong honestly and always want to play tricks...

Even if you find someone, can you still escape the hands of the Yin Yang family?
  The most important thing is to use your brain and be more comprehensive. If you follow his path and enter the Yin and Yang family, aren't you just waiting to be stared at?

………………

The Star-Zhaing Tower was specifically ordered by King Yingzheng of Qin to be built as a residence for the Moon God, the protector of the country. Of course, the residence was only a side function, and the real function in name was to use this tall building to peek into the heavens, explore the truth, and understand the future.

Anyway, it is the function of various magic stick styles.

This building is over a hundred feet high and theoretically has more than ten floors, but in fact it only has four floors, three at the bottom and one at the top. There are only stairs in the middle and no rooms.

In this era, even with the existence of black technology professional sects such as Mohists and Gongshujia, it is not easy to build a high-rise building with more than ten floors.

If you insist on making it, Public Loser will definitely be able to make it for you with guaranteed quality and quantity, but it’s just not necessary.

Zhaixing Tower is not an inn. There is only one guardian moon god living in it. It is not a big deal to add a few maids to serve people, or a few people from the Yin and Yang family to stay temporarily. What is the point of building so many floors?
  In order to save costs, speed up progress and other factors, such a tall building similar to a lighthouse was finally built.

Gu Xun has never been here since the Star Reaching Tower was built.

This time, for Xiao Ling's sake, he visited this building belonging to the Moon God for the first time. Mrs. Lao Xiang, the Minister of Water Resources, and his sisters had been staying here recently.

The Star Reaching Tower is not an isolated building, but is located within the courtyard. However, the area of ​​​​the courtyard is not large, and it looks even smaller against the background of the Star Reaching Tower, which is more than a hundred feet high.

Gu Xun entered the courtyard and immediately found the real owner he was looking for, Mrs. Xiang and the sisters.

"You two girls, we haven't seen each other for a few days. How are you doing?" Gu Xun asked for help, and said hello very kindly.

However, the sisters Ehuang and Nvying, who were practicing Yin and Yang in the courtyard, suddenly heard the voices of others and were startled. Ehuang subconsciously hit Bailu Qishuang directly.

Gu Xun casually smashed the ice vine into pieces, his brows twitching, "Don't get excited."

The two sisters saw clearly that the person coming was Gu Xun, and their brows wrinkled in unison.

Exactly the same clothes, exactly the same appearance, and the same expression. At first glance, Gu Xun thought they were transformed into axially symmetrical figures.

Nvying unconsciously took two steps behind her sister.

She has always been a little afraid of Gu Xun, maybe more than just fear.

The injury she received from his palm in Korea, the burning aura surging freely in her body, and the water-attribute Qi generated by her cultivation of Shan Ruo Shui, brought her a strange experience that she had never had before, painful and... It's special and unforgettable.

It's not like she hasn't been hurt, but that one was undoubtedly the most special.

Ehuang noticed a trace of timidity in his sister's heart. She had an impatient and strong personality and felt sorry for her sister. Even when facing Gu Xun, who should be dealt with carefully, she could not suppress her temper and said angrily:
  "Gu Xun... the Imperial Master suddenly came to visit, what are you doing?"

"Are you looking for Lord Moon God?"

Gu Xun didn't mind her attitude, and shook his head with a smile, "No, no, no, I'm not looking for the Moon God, I'm looking for you two."

"Looking for us?" Ehuang frowned and asked in confusion.

But for now, nothing good happens every time the two sisters meet Gu Xun, so E Huang patted Nv Ying's hand and motioned for her sister to go upstairs to find Yue Shen.

Seeing this, Gu Xun stopped him and said, "Don't worry. I'm looking for you today. I just hope you can do me a small favor so that I don't need to alert the Moon God."

"The three of us can just talk."

Nvying stopped when she heard this and looked at her sister to see what her attitude was.

Ehuang thought about it for a while, but for some unknown reason, he really didn't instruct Nuying to find the Moon God. Instead, he asked Gu Xundao in a strange way, "What can trouble the national master to ask us, two little people, for help?"

"It's very simple." Gu Xun replied, "I rescued someone a few days ago and found out that he has a talent for practicing Yin and Yang. I would like to ask you to take him into the Yin and Yang family."

"Accepting a disciple?" Ehuang muttered in surprise at first, and then asked with a strange expression, "You can't be..."

She wanted to ask whether Gu Xun planned to use such a blunt method to plant spies into the Yin Yang family, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was too stupid and not something that normal people could do, so she didn't tell the whole story.

Gu Xun knew what she meant and responded with a shrug, "Do you think it's possible?"

"I just don't know what to do with him."

"It's kind of fate that I saved him, but I have no interest in teaching my disciples, and he has no strength. It is useless to take him as a subordinate. Besides, his talent is really good, so staying with me is a waste."

　Stayed up late again.

　　Feeling ecstatic...
