Eternal Sword

Chapter 426: Plum Blossom Changes Owner
The capital of Daxia was extremely prosperous.

There are two pavilions in Daxia, which are famous throughout the world.

There is a second building in the capital of Daxia, which is also famous far and wide.

The first one is Zuixianlou.

Zuixianlou has branches throughout the six states of Daxia, but the one in the capital is the tallest, largest, and most luxurious.

The second is Qingyu Tower.

There are rumors that there are eight or nine hundred brothels in the capital, including some low-class brothels and other places where people go to have sex.

Some people even say that all the Qinlou and Chuguan are just passing guests, except for Qingyulou.

Qingyu Tower is located in the corner of a bustling street. It looks plain from the outside, but is extremely luxurious inside. It is a place that countless elegant people, dignitaries and nobles flock to.

To be able to stand firm in the capital, Qingyu Tower must have a powerful backer.

There are many different opinions as to who it is.

In Qingyu Tower, the most talked about person is the number one courtesan - Liu Mengzhen.

Liu Mengzhen, as her name suggests, is like a dream and a fantasy. She is the most famous woman in the capital.

It's a pity that not many people are qualified to see her.

There was once a young master from the capital who spent a huge sum of money just to see Liu Mengzhen's true face, but he failed.

In recent days, Liu Mengzhen's name has once again spread throughout the capital.

It is said that Liu Mengzhen wrote a letter personally inviting Chen Tang to Beijing for a chat, but was ruthlessly rejected!

This incident caused an uproar in the capital!
There are countless young talents and newcomers in the martial arts world who want to become Liu Mengzhen's lover but fail.

Unexpectedly, even when Liu Mengzhen, the most popular courtesan in the capital, took the initiative to invite him, there were people who had the heart to refuse.

Some people say that Chen Tang is ungrateful.

Some people say that Chen Tang is playing hard to get.

Some people even say that Chen Tang is good at the Buddhist Lion's Roar, but he is actually a monk and cannot lose his virginity.

The most outrageous rumor is that Chen Tang is a eunuch.

In most people's perception, except for monks and eunuchs, they can't think of any man in the world who can refuse Liu Mengzhen's invitation.

Qingyu Tower.

The room on the top floor has an excellent view, overlooking the entire capital city. It is called "Qimeng Pavilion" and is also where Liu Mengzhen lives.

The interior of the pavilion is decorated very elegantly, with delicate embroidered curtains hanging all around and intricate patterns carved on the window lattices.

The furnishings in the house are all made of top-grade red sandalwood. A large carved bed inlaid with agate is placed in the center. The bed is covered with soft fox fur and gold-woven silk, which makes it look both luxurious and warm.

The room was filled with elegant incense, and the air was filled with an indescribable charming scent.

There are several paintings by famous artists hanging on the wall, one of which is a portrait of Liu Mengzhen himself. The person in the painting has moving eyes and a bright look, which makes him more mysterious and charming than the real person.

At this moment, a young and handsome man was lying on the knees of the capital's number one courtesan, with his eyes closed, enjoying the massage from Liu Mengzhen's soft fingertips.

"Xia Lang, are you feeling better?"

Liu Mengzhen's skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her pair of clear autumn eyes looked at the young man in her arms with a gentle voice.

Xia Yuanxian opened his eyes, hummed softly, and slowly sat up.

"Xia Lang, Meng Zhenzhen is useless. I failed to invite him over."

Liu Mengzhen said with some grievance and anger.

"It's not your fault."

Xia Yuanxian pondered and said, "I didn't expect that this person would be so cautious and unwilling to leave Langya Pavilion."

Liu Mengzhen said: "Xia Lang, don't worry. He can't stay in Langya Pavilion forever."

"I have arranged for a senior hermit of Tongmai Realm to ambush near Langya Peak. As long as he leaves Langya Pavilion, we will have a chance to kill him and avenge Xia Lang."

Xia Yuanxian nodded and said, "I have also arranged for someone to kill him once he leaves Langya Pavilion!"

"Xia Lang, don't worry about it."

Liu Mengzhen took the initiative to come over, wrapped her arms around Xia Yuanxian's neck, and leaned over Xia Yuanxian's ear. She opened her sweet lips, exhaled sweet air, and said softly, "Let Mengzhen serve you."

Xia Yuanxian took a deep breath, pushed away Liu Mengzhen's arms, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired today. I'll come to see you another day."

After saying that, Xia Yuanxian stood up and left.

Taking advantage of the night, Xia Yuanxian put on a hood to cover his face, and left Qingyu Tower under the protection of several guards.

After Xia Yuanxian left, a maid walked in from outside and said, "Miss, this Mr. Xia seems to have not been affected much after this blow."

Liu Mengzhen snorted lightly, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and said: "That may not be the case. Haven't you noticed that he has come to my place more frequently this month?"

The maid said, "But he still has no intention of touching the young lady."

"Before, he practiced both Xuanwu and Xuanwu, and his determination was as solid as a rock. It was indeed difficult to shake him."

Liu Mengzhen showed a playful smile and said, "When I tested him just now, I could clearly feel that his heartbeat accelerated and his body temperature rose, but there was no movement in his lower body."

"In the past, he hardly reacted to my advances. Now, I'm afraid he's powerless. Excuses like tired, not in good shape, not interested today, etc. are all common excuses used by these men."

"what?"

The maid glared and asked, "Young lady, are you saying that he is no longer able to do it?"

"Mostly."

Liu Mengzhen nodded and said, "That kick from Chen Tang not only destroyed his Dantian, but also his life force. Moreover, his Dao Heart has been damaged, otherwise he wouldn't always come to me."

The maid said, "It's better this way, so he won't take advantage of her, and the young lady will still be a virgin."

"What's the use of being perfect?"

Liu Mengzhen's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, and he clenched his fists lightly and said, "Taro has committed suicide in Tianhuzhou. My heart is dead!"

"I never thought that we would be separated forever after we parted three years ago."

The maid sighed and said, "My lady, please accept my condolences. I heard that Master Taro lost the genius contest. The pressure was too great, which led to his mental breakdown..." "It was that person who forced Taro to death!"

Liu Mengzhen suddenly said: "If I find this person's whereabouts, I will kill him!"

The maid nodded and said, "I heard that this person is called Murong Haitang."

Liu Mengzhen shook his head and said, "I have already investigated this name. There is indeed someone named Murong Haitang in Beiqian, but she is a woman. This person's name should be fake. I have asked the tribesmen to continue investigating this person's origins, and there should be news soon."
-
Langya Pavilion.

"Brother Atang, I heard that you even threw away Liu Mengzhen's invitation?"

These days, Zhiwei spent most of her time with Chen Tang.

I was surprised to hear that Chen Tang rejected Liu Mengzhen's invitation.

“Is this person important?”

Chen Tang asked casually.

"I heard she's very beautiful."

Zhiwei said, "I heard that my cousin and his friends went to the capital once and went to Qingyu Tower on purpose, hoping to see the peerless beauty of the capital's number one courtesan, but they didn't get to see her in the end."

"Such a big rack."

Chen Tang chuckled.

Zhiwei said: "If my cousin were still alive, he would most likely follow you to the capital and borrow your help to visit Miss Mengzhen."

"Brother Shen won't."

Chen Tang shook his head.

"Why?"

Knowing the details but not understanding them.

Chen Tang said calmly, "There are many hidden talents in the capital, and it is also the Prime Minister's territory. I just deposed Xia Yuanxian. Most of the people who invite me to the capital at this time have bad intentions."

Zhiwei nodded, not quite understanding.

Chen Tang was very clear-headed about this matter.

The capital city is prosperous and glamorous, it is indeed a good place to go.

But to him, it was a den of dragons and tigers!
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Once he enters Beijing, there is no telling how many tricks will be waiting for him.

There is no need for him to be so arrogant and put himself in danger.

Not only that, he asked Ali to write down all the people he invited during this period.

Like Lin Mubai, Liu Mengzhen, and some miscellaneous people.

These were all highlighted by Chen Tang.

In fact, Chen Tang's injuries had already healed, and staying here was nothing more than avoiding the limelight.

During this period, he was not idle in Langya Pavilion and practiced every day.

Before this, Chen Tang had already opened his nose, ears and four orifices.

According to the order of the five internal organs and the five elements, the kidney belongs to water and produces wood. The next step is to cultivate the liver and gallbladder and open the eyes.

Chen Tang had originally encountered some bottlenecks, but a few days ago, he watched many martial arts of the Plum Blossom Sword School, including the Taohuawu swordsmanship, and gained some insights.

What helped him the most was the martial arts of Shujiantang.

In addition to the half of the text written by Shen Zhiyuan, at the instruction of Old Lady Su, Chen Tang had the opportunity to see the original copy of "Linhe Xu" by Senior Shen Yi Shao!

These authentic works have helped improve Chen Tang's swordsmanship.

More importantly, his eyesight has been greatly improved!
With his talent, it took him three full days to finish reading the 342-word "Linhe Preface"!

Later on, he would close his eyes and rest for a while after reading each word.

When you come out of seclusion on the day, the acupoints of your eyes will naturally be connected!
At this point, Chen Tang has opened up his six orifices and reached the state of enlightenment!

The opening of the four acupoints in the eyes and ears can improve combat power most significantly, allowing the warrior to reach the state of "seeing in the sky and hearing on the earth" and have sharper perception.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Tang stayed in Langya Pavilion for another month since the day of the duel.

During this period, some news from the underworld occasionally reached here.

What caught Chen Tang's attention the most was the traces of Xuantian Army appearing in Wuzhou.

The Xuantian Army looted a village, killed hundreds of people, and abducted many women and children. Then they disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.

This indiscriminate killing of ordinary people shocked the government and the martial arts world!
The Northern Expedition Army searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Xuantian bandits, but still found no clues.

In the martial arts world, all major sects are discussing the possibility of holding a martial arts conference at the end of the year.

It is said that this martial arts conference will unite all the major forces in the martial arts world to form a "Zhanxuan League" to fight against the Xuantian Sect.

On this day, another piece of news reached Langya Pavilion.

The Plum Blossom Sword Sect has a new leader.

The disciples sent an invitation, inviting the people from Langya Pavilion to go to Meihua Peak to watch the ceremony in ten days.

When Chen Tang got the news, the disciples of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect had already left.

I only learned about this from Ye Taoyuan.

"Why did the Plum Blossom Sword Sect suddenly change its leader? Who is the new leader?"

Chen Tang felt that something was fishy.

He has some favorable impression on the Plum Blossom Sword School.

It’s not just because of the two people I met when I first arrived in Nanxia, ​​Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue.

Also, the Plum Blossom Sword School always reminds him of the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School, Mei Yingxue, the time he spent in Changze County, and some old friends.
