Chapter 230: Famous Jinguan, all parties are moving (asking for monthly tickets) The Ninth Mountain General! This name, which was known by a roar, broke through the wind and rain and quickly shook Jinguan City. The monster clan is in great danger now, with even the great monster Musashi appearing in the world. The twelve armies that went on an expedition to the mountains were almost completely routed. In the past few days, Jinguan City had received news of retreats, broken cities, and the deaths of the Generals of the Central Army. But at this moment, they suddenly heard that there was another army that was heading back to fight the monsters, and they were naturally shocked. But thinking back, many people found that they knew almost nothing about this Ninth Mountain General. In the memories of the few common people, this Ninth Mountain General was a new one, and seemed to have just been granted the title before going on the expedition. I don’t know more! I don’t even know his name. But this news was like a bolt from the blue. For a while, in the streets and alleys of the city, among the wind chimes and jade, people were asking everywhere.

Who is this Ninth Mountain General? Just when everyone in the city was curious about the origins of this General, a book circulated. "The Legend of Qingshan Pingyao"! I heard that this was spread by an escort from Baidi City. At that time, the escort was eating in an inn. When he heard the news, he was very excited. He also heard people in the inn discussing the origins of the Ninth Mountain General. So, he proudly said that the Ninth Mountain General came from their Baidi City. And took out a folded vernacular novel like this! This book is "The Story of Qingshan Pingyao"! When everyone in the inn heard this, they immediately became interested and made a lot of noise, but there were too many people who wanted to see it, so someone made a direct offer, wanting to buy it for a small sum of money. But once this was made, things got out of control, and the price in the inn kept getting higher and higher, even gradually becoming a little outrageous. Finally, one person actually offered five hundred taels of silver, beating everyone else to buy the yellowed copy of "Ping Yao Zhuan"! Many people were confused and thought that this man was crazy, until someone said that he was the owner of a bookstore in the west of the city. In the afternoon, a bookstore in the west of the city used the gimmick of the origin of the Ninth Mountain General to promote the book heavily. Soon, "The Story of Qingshan Pingyao" became a best-seller and was quickly sold out. As for the origin of the Ninth Mountain General, many people learned something about it by reading this book! Originally, this General of the Central Army was a patrol captain in Qingshan County under the jurisdiction of Baidi City. At that time, the Demon Cult was rioting. This patrol captain killed monsters and eliminated demons along the way, saving the people of Qingshan County from danger. Finally, he broke through the gate of heaven and defeated the Demon Cult troops who came to attack the county. But his life came to an abrupt end here. Just as "The Legend of Qingshan Pingyao" caused a stir in Jinguan City, in certain places in the city, there were mysterious figures who remained unmoved. A man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat is fishing on the river. In the mist and rain, he is holding a small boat in his hands, motionless, like a clay sculpture. At one moment, a man appears behind the bow, leans over, and moves his mouth quickly and slightly. The man in the straw raincoat does not make any movement, and the figure behind him sees this and disappears as well. Someone lives in an ancient temple in the city. Incense smoke curls up in the rain. The bells in the temple ring long and long. Rain curtains drip on the mossy eaves. In front of a guest room, a burly figure leans over the door to report the matter of the Ninth Mountain General. However, an indifferent voice comes from the room. "You don't need to report this to me. Your mission is to find out if there are any places where spiritual energy is turbulent, especially in the south. Although there are demon disasters there, the luck is scattered now, and it is most likely that good things will appear there." "Yes!" These people came from the Central Plains, found a place to settle down, moved around in a mysterious way, had their own purposes, and were looking for something. In the east city, under a pavilion, a man with shining silver hair and eyes that gleam like lightning was playing chess with an old man in linen clothes who looked like an immortal with a ruddy complexion. The silver-haired man sitting there looked like a crouching tiger, as if he could pounce at any time, with a divine light shining on his body. The old man opposite him looked ordinary, just like any other old man, but the aura that the man inadvertently revealed was as invisible as a drop in the ocean around him. At this moment, a figure flashed to the aisle in front of the pavilion, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, but made no sound, just waiting. After a while, the old man in hemp clothes on the opposite side dropped a white piece. The silver-haired man frowned at first, then his eyes widened and he smiled: "After all, I am still one step behind. I don't know when I can reach the level of my teacher!"

The old man in hemp clothes opposite pinched the upturned beard at the corner of his mouth, "You are about to enter the fetal movement, you still need to temper yourself, reach the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, these six words must be remembered." "It's just right. This Shu land can be used as your training ground. Your father summoned you here this time, and it was right for you to come. This place is becoming more and more lively." But the smile on the silver-haired man's face slowly disappeared when he heard the word "father". "My father didn't think as much as my teacher did. I was killed by someone from the Li family. My father asked me to come here. The letter only wanted me to kill the Li family's offspring and avenge me." "Quanzhen, there are no parents who don't love their children. Don't be bothered by these. The rest is up to you." The old man in hemp clothes smiled. "Teacher is right." The silver-haired man nodded, showing great respect for the old man. Then he turned around and looked at the figure waiting outside the pavilion. His expression changed and became expressionless. He said, "Did you find out?" The figure kneeling on one knee raised his head, took out a book from his sleeve, and raised his hand to present it. The silver-haired man raised his hand and grabbed it. Looking at the three words "Ping Yao Zhuan" above, I couldn't help but frowned. "Script?" The subordinate quickly explained, "My Lord, the origin of the Ninth Mountain Lieutenant is in this storybook. His surname is Chen Yuan, and he was originally the patrol captain of Qingshan County, and he came from Baidi City." The silver-haired man opened the book at this time, his eyes were as fast as lightning, scanning quickly, but soon his brows became deeper and deeper, and then he suddenly threw the book to the other party. The pages of the book flipped in the air, interrupting the person who was speaking. He said in a cold voice: "Find out before you come back to me. Don't you need me to teach you this? Can you check the time yourself?" “If this is true, then that person just broke through the Heavenly Gate last month, and then ran to Tianxiong Pass to destroy a branch of the Li family, a Li family retainer, and several Taoist soldiers of the Heavenly Gate, and now he is at the front line to defeat the demon army?” The silver-haired man’s face turned cold, and he felt that these people sent by his family were unpleasant to him no matter how he looked at them. His name is Zhao Quanzhen, the second son of the Zhao family in the imperial capital. His father is the Minister of War in the imperial court, but he was sent to Wudao Mountain thousands of miles away to practice since he was a child. Because he was born out of wedlock and had no mother, Zhao Quanzhen did not have deep feelings for the Zhao family. The old man in front of him was his teacher and protector, the person Zhao Quanzhen respected most in his life. As for the person who spoke, he was a subordinate sent by family. The reason why he wanted to investigate the Ninth Mountain General was because his younger brother, whom he had barely seen, died here. The one who killed his younger brother was a retainer of the Li family. His father did not dare to fall out with the military commander in the imperial capital, but summoned him here from thousands of miles away to deal with the people sent by the Li family. Haha, he is such a good father! The Zhao family was furious and investigated the Li family, and learned an unexpected news: the Li family had targeted a Lieutenant General. It was this Lieutenant General of the Ninth Mountain who wiped out a branch of the Li family at Tianxiong Pass in Jiannan Road and killed a Li family retainer. In subsequent investigations, the Zhao family learned that it was three families in Tianxiong Pass that were in turmoil, and this Lieutenant General of the Ninth Mountain took action and wiped out the three families, wielding a three-pointed, double-edged spear, and had obviously entered the realm of Taoist soldiers. I guess many people don’t know this information yet. Combined with this morning, the name of the Ninth Mountain General resounded throughout Jinguan City, and this General came into everyone's sight. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so naturally we need to investigate carefully. However, this guy took the vernacular novels as his guiding principle and described them vividly, but the time of events in the vernacular novels and the information he had seemed really absurd, just as he said. Who can go from just passing the test to becoming a Taoist soldier and kill so many people of the same level in just one month? The subordinate took the "Legend of the Suppressing Demons" that was thrown to him and was about to confess his crime, but he heard a voice, "Wait!" "Show me the book!" An old man's voice was heard. It was the old man in sackcloth clothes who spoke with a look of doubt on his face. As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The book "Ping Yao Zhuan" flew in front of the old man. I saw the scroll floating in the air, its pages moving without wind. In that person's eyes, the pupils and whites of his eyes were glowing with a dazzling purple light as he stared at the moving pages of the book. Suddenly, the voice changed. "wrong!" "This is not an ordinary novel!" “This book carries a kind of incense.” "It's very likely that the above things are all true." As he spoke, the purple light in the old man in hemp clothes' eyes disappeared, and the volume of "The Story of Suppressing Demons" was closed, falling onto the chessboard with a "pop". "Teacher, are you serious?" The silver-haired man was shocked and glanced into the teacher's eyes. There really is someone who can practice martial arts at such a terrifying speed. "Well, it shouldn't be fake, and I feel that the incense here is getting stronger and stronger. This reminds me of a school that is about to disappear among the Hundred Schools!" The old man in hemp clothes suddenly looked profound. "Please help me solve this puzzle!" The silver-haired man looked curious. "novelist!" "This is the method used by novelists among all the schools of thought. This Ninth General of the Mountains has a novelist taking advantage of him. The two complement each other! The stronger the person recorded is, the stronger he will be. The person who can be identified by this novelist is this Ninth General of the Mountains. It seems that he is not simple!" "I remember this sect is divided into several levels, one of which is called "preaching". This person is almost there. I miss this sect so much, so let's give them a hand!" The old man in hemp clothes laughed, and as soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly turned into a cloud of gas, and carried the volume of "Ping Yao Zhuan" on the chessboard into the sky. Then, the cloud threw the "Suppressing Demons" away. With a "bang", confetti exploded all over the sky, but black words were reflected in the void. Then, the old man in hemp clothes appeared, sat cross-legged, and moved his lips quickly. The small black characters grew rapidly and revolved around the old man. Then, a series of crisp sounds like water drops rang out in the void, and the small black characters suddenly lit up quickly. Wait until all these small words turn gold. The old man in hemp clothes punched the sky, and immediately the sky changed color, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the large golden characters flew directly into the sky and rushed towards somewhere in the city. At this moment, in the sky which was overcast and rainy and was about to turn completely dark, a huge black vortex appeared, and with a loud roar, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared!
