Chapter 426: Repair My Spear and Spear

Everything that needed to be verified had been verified. Thanks to Lord Sui's 【Mirror Painting】, the two fairy power projections were not completely destroyed and were still analyzed from the scattered bones. The Fairy Platform collected them, and only Sima's bones without any will remained here.

"... Nothing left, let's bury it." Xiao Changgong sighed lightly.

"Just feed the fish." Sui Zaihua waved his hand, and this residual body was sprinkled into the river.

There was nothing else around, and he turned and walked out. By the river in the moonlit night, it was clean and ethereal.

"It's enough that the Lord personally took the risk, this person actually really fell here." Xiao Changgong took off his gloves, followed behind, shook his head and smiled, "It really made us break into a cold sweat."

"Life and death are determined by fate, things that should be done must be done." Sui Zaihua smiled, turned his head, "No need to send me off, you guys be busy."

"It's already past the second watch, you still have to review the swords tomorrow morning—farewell."

"Farewell."

The autumn wind blew on his face, and the last all-out attempt of the Fairy Platform was completely settled. They treated that tiny and harsh possibility so seriously, and ultimately proved that it was indeed just a delusion.

But there was not much disappointment on everyone's faces. Everyone chatted easily. Destroying the Joyous Death Tower was already an astonishing enough achievement. A few days ago, they completed the simultaneous attack on the twenty-four states, everyone exhausted their full strength and obtained enough rich merits.

Closing the case meant the settlement of rewards. At this time, everyone laughed and talked side by side, of course, still going to the Prisoner Demon Land to earnestly complete the final ending.

————

"... Oh." Li Piaoqing pursed her lips.

She was still smiling, but there was some uneasy hesitation hidden under her expression, not knowing whether she should continue to ask.

The young man showed this bead to her—it was already completely gray and cracked.

"There, you wanted to see it, this can't make me pay for it."

He smiled, his expression relaxed and peaceful. Li Piaoqing secretly paid attention to this face... until she admitted with some discouragement that if he wanted to lie to her, she actually couldn't tell at all.

"I won't make you pay, tell me quickly what you saw." Li Piaoqing took the Seeing Body and smiled, "Otherwise the bead was broken by you, and the story was seen by you, why did I run so far?"

"Tell, tell." Pei Ye responded, but he stood up first, "I'd better go call Physician Qu first, and tell you while she helps you look at the injury, okay?"

"... Ah, actually it's nothing..."

The young man smiled and lowered his eyes, his gaze avoiding her left arm, and turned to leave the room.

Qu Xin was indeed not asleep, tinkering with her many instruments in the quiet room. Pei Ye knocked on the door and entered. The young girl turned her head and was slightly surprised: "So fast?"

"... Can you help my friend look at the injury?" Pei Ye said, "Then... I think she has been too tired these past few days, do you have that kind of needle for calming the spirit and falling asleep?"

Three layers of gauze curtains were pulled up on the couch. The young girl was lying on her stomach, having drunk a bowl of medicine earlier, and the bandage on her waist was untied by Qu Xin to the side.

"... Qu Zhu wanted Heart Amber, so he went to seek help from Inspector Yu. Inspector Yu got the help, so he went to Xiangzhou to buy it with heavy gold. Inside is Qu Zhu casting the 【Seeing Body】, so he happily took it to share with Inspector Yu..." The furnace smoke curled slowly, Pei Ye sat on the head of the bed and spoke softly inside, "—How is her injury?"

"Very deep, very wide, not a knife or sword crack, it was wiped by something like an iron chain, the flesh is rotten."

Li Piaoqing lay on the pillow, the green small bag was placed on the pillow beside her clothes, and she hummed softly: "Hmm, don't worry about it... then, then what?"

"Hmm, I didn't worry about it, then they sat together to eat, Inspector Yu cooked it himself, stewed fish, white porridge..."

"The other party might be the Mystic Gate." Qu Xin waved her hand and dropped seven silver needles on it.

"Mystic Gate?"

"... No, no Mystic Gate..." Li Piaoqing refuted in a daze, "Pei Ye, no Mystic Gate..."

"... Hmm, okay." Pei Ye said softly, "Then they chatted about how 【Seeing Body】 was made, what magical functions it has..."

"Hmm," Li Piaoqing responded weakly, and even breathing had already come from inside the curtain. After a while, she suddenly drifted again, "Then other things..."

"Other what?"

"Other... magic tools, did you mention..."

"Didn't mention." Pei Ye said softly, "Physician Qu will help you treat the injury, you sleep."

"Hmm, now? I don't think..." the young girl said softly, and several cold fine needles had already fallen on her back.

"Does the arm still hurt?"

"... Doesn't hurt."

"Hmm."

"Doesn't hurt, Pei Ye. The arm doesn't hurt..."

Pei Ye patted the hand she had on the edge of the bed lightly and said nothing more. Only for a moment, the breathing inside the curtain stabilized completely.

"The Taishan Medicine Hut also has secret techniques for limb regeneration, but it is generally supplied to the Mystic Gate." Qu Xin said, "Because the spiritual body is a platform that can be used. For the Pulse Tree Realm, this secret technique is too harsh and dangerous, and it is not recommended to be used forcibly."

"Either wait until you enter the Mystic Gate, or take the path of the Nourishing Mind Building." She continued, "Artificial limbs are very mature things for them. The most basic part doesn't even count as a magic tool, and it is enough to satisfy daily activities—but her wound is too new and is still bleeding, so rest for at least another half a month."

"Hmm." Pei Ye went around to the head of the bed, reached in a hand, and gently took away the green bag beside the sleeping girl's pillow, "I'll trouble you to take care of her for a few days. When she wakes up, chat with her about the broken arm—she is much richer than me."

"Okay."

Pei Ye lowered his head and opened this small bag, checked it carefully, and first took out a feather book. Pei Ye paused for a moment, and then took out a well-stored letter from the deepest interlayer.

The sky was dim, it was the period when the long night was approaching, the surroundings were still the silence of the middle of the night, and the stairs were extremely dim.

Pei Ye was dressed neatly, carrying 【Jade Tiger】, and walked slowly down the medical building. At this moment, patients and doctors were all asleep, and the whole building seemed to be only him.

Pei Ye walked down the stairs silently until he came to the door on the first floor, and suddenly paused his steps.

A little dim sky light leaked through the fine door crack. In the dim and cold light of the early morning, a tall and straight figure stood quietly by the door.

He spoke warmly: "Young Master Pei, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Pei Ye looked, the old man was wearing a cloak, like a statue in the shadows—Gao Feigong.

So Pei Ye remembered that from the moment he entered the city, he had been following him secretly.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment. He knew that outside the door were four soldiers performing their duties, and further outside, the two carriages, one ornate and one simple, prepared for his travel were parked in the courtyard.

"... Leader Gao, good. I'm going to the Fairy Platform."

"Oh, I'll prepare a carriage for you."

"No need, I'll walk by myself."

"Then I'll follow you."

"No need either."

"..."

Pei Ye held the black cat and looked at this general quietly: "Unless Leader Gao insists."

Gao Feigong paused: "... Naturally, I follow your wishes."

"Thank you."

Pei Ye pushed the door open, and the coldness from the empty street rushed toward him.

Pei Ye walked along the street, and there was no language along the way. He held his sword and paced, looking at the stars in the sky. Gradually, the stars disappeared, the sky brightened, and the street began to have popularity.

Today was the day the Book Compilation Meeting was settled. The top twenty-two sword talents would reorder, and that legendary young hero would also appear on the Jade Sword Platform. The whole city woke up a little earlier than usual.

Pei Ye saw many people walking together to the Jade Sword Platform along the way, mostly Jianghu guests or sects with strange costumes. Many of them he did not recognize at all, and he couldn't help but think about where they came from and what kind of swords they hung at their waists... If he could get to know and learn from them, it would be a happy thing.

However, the Fairy Platform had already arrived.

When he came to the door and asked someone to report, as soon as he mentioned the two words "Pei Ye", the guards looked at him with surprise twice, and a moment later, a clerk walked out of the door quickly.

"Young Master Pei." He bowed hurriedly and led him into the door, "Visiting in the early morning, I don't know what important matter you have?"

Pei Ye took back his gaze and bowed: "Sorry to bother you, I have something I want to find Xiao Changgong, the Crane Inspector, I don't know if he is here?"

"Ah, Crane Inspector Xiao went out of the city last night, I don't know if he returned at this time... I will immediately find someone to ask, please wait a moment."

"Sorry to bother you."

Pei Ye sat down in the corner of the lobby on the first floor. The people coming and going still had fast steps, but it was no longer the tense hurry of Kongdong.

The clerk walked back and started to make tea. Pei Ye took back his gaze and suddenly said: "I heard that several lords tried to ambush Qu Zhu last night, I don't know if there is any harvest?"

"..."

The clerk paused.

He looked at this young man who was honestly rising to the blue clouds with some unease. Obviously, this name had been spreading in Shao Long Prefecture for the past two days, and the Fairy Platform knew about his feud with Qu Zhu early on.

"I did not participate in this matter last night. However, the task of organizing the case files was issued this morning... It seems that Qu Zhu ultimately did not show up."

"Oh, okay." However, this young man only nodded, still quite politely bowed, "Sorry to bother you."

"Young Master Pei is polite."

The two sat at the table. Pei Ye looked at the people coming and going, sipping tea bit by bit, until a moment later, a person walked over with hurried steps: "Clerk Qi, Crane Inspector Xiao has not returned yet."

"Ah." The clerk bowed apologetically to Pei Ye, "Young Master Pei, if you have anything, if it is convenient to say, why don't we handle it for you first."

"Ah, I—" Pei Ye paused, just about to speak, his gaze suddenly paused.

The stern man who was just entering the door also saw him at the same time and walked over.

The clerk had already bowed hurriedly, and the person who came was holding a sword with one arm, it was the Shao Long Platform Master, Zhang Xiao Zhu.

"Platform Master Zhang."

"Young Hero Pei." Zhang Xiao Zhu was slightly surprised, this powerful man stood in front of the table, "Is there any urgent matter?"

In his impression, the young man was not a character who could not hold his breath. The result of last night would have been sent to the Taishan Medicine Hut at dawn, so there was no need to make a special trip.

"Nothing, Lord Zhang." The young man bowed, apologized and smiled, "I originally wanted to find Crane Inspector Xiao, now I have to trouble you—I heard that a lot of Soul-stealing Beads were captured a few days ago, I don't know if I can go and take a look?"

"Oh, what's this. I'll write you a hand order."

The clerk beside him immediately handed over pen and ink. Zhang Xiao Zhu pulled the chair and sat down, but poured himself a cup of tea slowly.

Smiled slightly: "Young Hero Pei, if you wait another three hours and hang the Goose Inspector, you won't need this hand order."

"..."

"Lord Sui said don't assign you work after hanging the seal, to avoid limiting your freedom, this is really a statement that reverses black and white." Zhang Xiao Zhu picked up the pen and ink, "Clearly the rules of the prefecture office are more, the Fairy Platform is mostly sect employment, promoted by merit, and has always been the fairest and freest place."

Pei Ye smiled and bowed: "Trouble you, Lord."

"However, to be fair, having Lord Sui lead the way is indeed brighter than in the platform." Zhang Xiao Zhu handed the hand order to him, smiled, "At least the Fairy Platform cannot list you as the first in the Sword Book."

Pei Ye smiled: "I am also very uneasy in my heart, I don't know what masters are on the Jade Sword Platform today, worried about showing cowardice."

"There are about four parts of people on the Jade Sword Platform today: seventeen people from the Book Compilation Meeting, seventy-two sword practitioners in the book, more than thirty visiting officials from various departments, and more than a hundred guests from various sects. However, what are you worried about, anyway, Lord Sui is there." Zhang Xiao Zhu drank tea and smiled, "Controlling such a sword meeting is really not worth mentioning to him."

"Yeah, Lord Sui... is indeed very powerful."

"I recognized him fourteen years ago, and to this day, I still regard him as my senior." Zhang Xiao Zhu said softly, "If you have the opportunity to work with Lord Sui, you can feel it—calm mountains and seas, everything is clear, as long as he stands with you, whether in the officialdom or the Jianghu, it seems there is nothing in the world worth panicking about."

"So at this time he is above ten thousand people, Shao Long respects him together, high position and heavy power... I feel that this position of Governor is just the beginning for him to enter the hall." He smiled and continued, "So... Young Hero Pei is really lucky."

Pei Ye lowered his head and smiled, said softly: "Accept your auspicious words."

Zhang Xiao Zhu was silent for a while: "The scenery on the road ahead is worth seeing, Young Hero Pei."

"..."

"Same regret." This platform master raised his cup lightly, sat beside the young man, and looked at the figures coming and going in the hall together, "We still guessed wrong, Qu Zhu is not some fire slave, and he got the West Court Heart long ago. When we set up the trap... he might have already left Shao Long."

This platform master drank it all and poured the pot again.

Pei Ye shook his head: "There is no way, Lord Zhang."

"Yes, we said at the time that it was a very harsh possibility, so I don't know why you want to see the Soul-stealing Beads at this time, there are still two quarters of an hour, the Book Compilation Meeting is about to open." The man looked at him and said softly, his expression serious, "If the young hero has anything, you can just say it."

"Nothing, Lord Zhang." Pei Ye smiled, gently stroking the sword scabbard in his hand, "I just want to see the swords in these beads."

He was silent for a while, and then pursed his lips: "It's just a pity, at that time Crane Inspector Xiao said he believed that the life of Crane Inspector Wu would definitely be able to exchange for something... Now it seems that he ultimately lost to Qu Zhu."

The autumn air was cool, and the Jade Sword Platform was crowded with people.

Various sects and dignitaries contracted various pavilions, smaller ones also had their own territory, and more Jianghu guests, scholars, and countless common people were still mixed, and the conversation sounds mixed into surging unclear fine waves.

The opening of yesterday's Book Compilation Meeting had raised the number of people to a level, countless Jianghu guests and common people came to see the competition between those heroes, but that was after all the stage of discussion.

And today was the truly solemn "watching ceremony", which was the day the "Shao Long Sword Dao Gold Book" was completed. The prefecture office invited nearly two hundred celebrities to the Jade Sword Platform, famous scholars and important officials, various Jianghu elders, including the sects of the seventy-two sword practitioners in the book—the Guanhu Jianmen where that Cai Wuzhi came from today came with one old and two young, clothes and boots clean, heads and faces clean, and had sat in the corner of the seats.

Further ahead were some big sects, not to mention those with sword practitioners in the book, even those without sword practitioners in the book, or even not in Shao Long, also had a seat for watching, such as Kongdong, Taishan Medicine Hut, Nourishing Mind Building, etc. On the other side, the prominent seats were many blue and purple, solemnly representing the absolute recognition of this book by the imperial court.

If yesterday was still a pure exchange between sword practitioners, the atmosphere today suddenly became solemn and dignified.

Leaving the top twenty-two sword practitioners to today was precisely to make everyone see the completion of the Sword Book, and it was exciting enough rather than long-winded. Another more important reason was that the resources tilted to the top twenty-two sword practitioners would have a qualitative leap—these twenty-two people could all be selected into the Sword Academy.

Of course, everyone's talent inside was enough to enter the Dao Enlightenment Meeting, but you are a person from another sect, why would the thirty-three sword gates allow you to enter the meeting to practice?

So this opportunity was almost like a fantasy.

Here, of course, it was the unimaginable effort of the Great Tang again. I don't know how the imperial court negotiated with the thirty-three sword gates. At least on this side, what the Shao Long sword talents saw was—if you come to be listed in the Sword Dao Gold Book revised by the imperial court, the Great Tang Dao Enlightenment Meeting will open its doors to you.

For the top sword talents like Xiang, Cui, and Su, this was a temptation that could not be resisted at all.

No matter how proud the inheritance of Luoying Mountain was, they would dream of being able to step onto the platform of the thirty-three sword gates, exchange and communicate with the true transmissions of Tianshan, Bailu Palace, Long Jun Dongting, and even Yunlang Mountain, and participate in the sword books together.

At this time, everyone was sitting quietly, twenty-one sword practitioners were lined up, and in front was the empty sword field. Everyone present could see them clearly.

Ren Zixin followed her father and sat down excitedly and curiously. She was also washed and cleaned more neatly and exquisitely than ever before, but at this time she was subconsciously low-key and elegant, staring at the seats of the sword practitioners for a long time, before excitedly raising her hand and pointing, whispering: "Ah, Zhang Shixiong Wenyuan is there!"

The man nodded: "It's already a surprise that Xiao Zhu can enter two, let's just watch quietly today."

"Hmm hmm." Ren Zixin nodded repeatedly, and curiously looked at those prominent names—she had heard of them from thousands of miles away when she was in Longxi, and this was the first time she had seen them so close.

She identified them one by one in her heart: Nan Guannu, Cui Zi Jie, Xiang Zongyuan... oh, that is Su Xingke... he seems to be about the same age as me...

A young girl's voice suddenly came from beside: "Su Xingke can of course go further up."

Ren Zixin turned her head in a daze, it was actually the young girl she saw under the teahouse, who was talking to a somewhat silent young man beside her. Ren Zixin recognized that this was the one who ran errands back and forth as soon as she sat down.

"But Xiang Zongyuan also appeared suddenly six years ago." He said in a low voice, "In these six years..."

"The achievements he made in these six years are not necessarily comparable to the momentum of that year."

"... That's right."

The two chatted and went to the front, until they sat down beside a man in the second row.

Ren Zixin looked in a daze, that was actually... Kongdong's position.

But just at this time, the whole field suddenly became silent.

Everyone's eyes were cast forward, and then everyone stood up one after another. Ren Zixin was pulled by her father, and then bowed to that side with the surroundings in a daze.

When she straightened up, she saw the tall and straight figure in front of the hall through the gap, and subconsciously held her breath.

A calm black robe, a white jade hanging at the waist, gray hair simply and cleanly tied behind his head... The Jade Sword Pavilion was full of people on three sides, only he stood alone in front of the hall, but he did not look thin at all, but rather the majesty of mountains and seas spread to the hall.

Ren Zixin only glanced at it and didn't dare to look again, thinking that this was probably the respected lord who supported the Sword Selection Meeting... the current Shao Long Governor.

The old man's gaze swept across the bottom quietly, nodded slightly: "Thank you all for giving this thin face today, please sit down, I hope that after several changes of spring and autumn, you will still remember the grand occasion of gathering together today."

He sat down, and after people sat down one after another, he turned his head to look at the Book Compilation Meeting: "We discussed twenty-two yesterday, please continue, Mr. Chen."

Ren Zixin lowered her head and sat down, her hands on her knees, subconsciously more upright.

The backs of the two people from Kongdong came into view again. She suddenly paused, remembered something, turned her head and looked around, but did not see the young man.

"A total of forty-four." In the deep quiet room of the Fairy Platform, Zhang Xiao Zhu pointed to the small beads that were half iron and half amber on the wall, "It was said before that it was very difficult to find a few, and many were destroyed by the opera ghosts, but we found a complete set in the Sword Belly Mountain."

"The sorcerers with high heart and spirit cultivation in the platform have seen it, and I have also seen two, which are the old shadows of those victims using swords." Zhang Xiao Zhu continued, "There are many and few, strong and weak, but every reading hurts the heart and spirit, and they actually can't support a few readings."

Pei Ye nodded: "I want to stay here for a period of time, Lord Zhang."

"Okay." The man nodded slightly, "These things that have experienced 'storage' have no value, but I have to remind you again, be careful not to look into them."

Pei Ye nodded: "Thank you."

Zhang Xiao Zhu closed the door and went out, and his footsteps moved away.

Pei Ye stood quietly, looking at the small beads of new and old on the wall.

The quiet room was very deep and remote, and the wooden door was also very thick. There was only a small high window on the wall.

The morning sun sprinkled in, the floating dust swayed slightly, and there seemed to be countless souls in the quiet air. The young man pursed his lips, and for a long time, reached out and picked one.

This one looked very old, about six or seven years, the white amber had changed color slightly, but it was still well preserved.

Pei Ye knew why the Fairy Platform would find such a set of beads in the Sword Belly Mountain, because no matter how much was consumed outside, those that were successfully sent back were the ones included in 【Mirror Dragon】 【Heart Mirror】.

But they of course passed through another pair of eyes first.

Pei Ye held it in front of his eyes and looked into it deeply.

"Feather Spring Mountain, 【Sea Moon with Tide】 Qiu Canglu, twenty-three years old, temporarily ranked twenty-second in the Sword Book, Book Compilation Meeting discussion: can be." The white-bearded old man who was the head of the Book Compilation Meeting was Chen Lihuai, the sword master with the highest seniority in the Shao Long Sword Academy. He was from Tianshan when he was young, and had been in it for nearly thirty years since the Shao Long Sword Academy was built, "Book Compilation Meeting opinion: Qiu Canglu's sword realm is nineteenth, above the five sword songs of winning, and below the sixteenth, the ancient Song of Book. Also, twenty-third, Bai Weiyu, twenty-fourth, Wen Jiao, twenty-fifth, Wang Jinhong are of similar age, and their sword realm is below the winning, all have no reason to win. Therefore, get the twenty-second position."

"Now start the discussion, please state your doubts."

A piece of silence.

Ren Zixin did not go to the Jade Sword Platform yesterday, but looking at the figures flying into the sword field, she also knew that yesterday's atmosphere must not have been so solemn and serious, but indeed, whether it was the figure in front of the hall or the blue and purple who were looking down or chatting, they gave her great pressure, and she didn't dare to ask her father's opinion for a while.

Until three breaths later, a figure stood up from the front row of sword practitioners, it was Cui Zi Jie.

He bowed respectfully to the hall, then bowed respectfully to the Book Compilation Meeting and the blue and purple seats, and finally hung his sleeves and folded his hands: "Report to everyone, my sect's Zhang Shixiong Qiu entered the sect at fourteen, and has practiced sword for a short time. Also, I personally think that the theory of 'sword realm' is lost."

"Where does the True Transmission Cui think it is lost?"

Qiu Canglu stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Report to all lords, Canglu is willing to meet with the sixteenth, Young Master Song Zhishu!"

Many people in the hall were slightly surprised, Ren Zixin covered her mouth—this is a challenge across six names!

It was quiet in the remote room, as if it were two worlds from the Jade Sword Platform.

About a quarter of an hour passed, the young man who was staring at the bead sighed lightly and moved the bead away from his eyes.

Then he took out a notebook and began to list them seriously from top to bottom with clumsy handwriting.

【First Bead】

1. Cloud Wave Building "Sword Covering the Bright Moon"

2. Unknown, A1

3. Unknown, A2

4. Suspected to be Five Sword Blessed Land, A3

5....

Until listing a long line, Pei Ye put this one back in its original place and picked up the second one.

His lips were slightly pursed, looking like he was doing something that made him feel difficult with full seriousness.
