Kill me a few more times and I'll be invincible

Chapter 503

As the storyteller Jiang Chen spoke eloquently, the tea drinkers in the lobby cheered.

However, some people have objections:

"We are tired of hearing the stories about the Qiao family. Can we come up with something new?"

"For example, Tingchao Tower's martial arts ranking has not been released for a long time. It has been changing rapidly in the past six months. Is it time to change to a new martial arts ranking?"

The other tea guests who were watching the excitement also applauded.

Only the storyteller Jiang Chen, who was surrounded in the middle, looked troubled.

In fact, it's not that Tingchaolou doesn't want to get out, but... it's almost impossible to get out.

"Half a year ago, Qiao Gui led four Qiao family warriors to destroy Qingxuan Dao."

"A few days ago, during the battle to destroy the Dao Dao Sect, a total of eleven Qiao family warriors appeared! And without exception, among them, they were all extremely powerful men with profound martial arts skills..." Jiang Chen sighed:

"How else can I get on the martial arts list?"

"If the rankings are changed, among the top four in the martial arts rankings, all the people in the front row will be named Qiao!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in uproar and admiration.

It's hard to believe at first glance, but when you think about the deeds of Qiao's family carefully, it suddenly seems reasonable...

“Everyone in the world’s martial arts rankings has the surname Qiao!”

"Invincible people like Qiao Gui and Qiao Yao don't need to listen to Chaolou to become famous. Everyone knows that he is the best in the world! And after them, they are also the Qiao family... This is really meaningless. ..."

"Is this Qiao family really endless?"

Some older Jianghu people even recalled that more than forty years ago, Tingchao Tower's martial arts ranking was also abolished.

At that time, the Alien War had just ended, and the top ten in the Kyushu Martial Arts Hero List were all silent, with no one standing out. Therefore, the name of the "Hero List" was naturally unworthy of its name and was therefore invalidated.

But today's list is half-empty, and the reason is not that there are no warriors in Kyushu to carry the tripod.

But there are too many strong men in the Qiao family!

"You also heard that I heard that the Qiao family is really endless..." Someone in the crowd vowed:

"I heard that three or five of the Qiao family members would jump out of the cracks in the rocks every day..."

"What? This happened?"

The rumors that should have been outrageous suddenly became reasonable as long as the keyword Qiao's family was added.

But the storyteller Jiang Chen suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Senior Qiao Yao?"

At this time, he had noticed Qiao Mu who had just stepped into the teahouse, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The rumors about the Qiao family that popped out of the cracks in the rocks just now really came from Chaolou. This time, being caught spreading the rumors in person would inevitably lead to embarrassment.

"Listen to the storyteller of Chaolou." Qiao Mu didn't care that much, but said with a serious face to Jiang Chen, who was "meeting for the first time":

"I want to meet your landlord, Nian Chaosheng."

.....................

A moment later, in the private room on the second floor, Qiao Mu and Jiang Chen sat quietly drinking tea.

Qiao Mu gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, closed his eyes and waited.

A full two hours have passed since Jiang Chen's summons, and Nian Chaosheng, the host of Tingchao Tower, has yet to respond.

"Are you afraid of me?" Qiao Mu remembered the wave of thoughts that briefly appeared during the battle of the Dao Sect's destruction a few days ago.

It was obvious that Nian Chaosheng was wary of the Lingyuan Patriarch of the Dao Dao Sect, and he did not reappear until the latter's death.

Nowadays, the tree is well-known throughout the country, and this visit may have put a lot of pressure on Tingchao Tower.

At this moment.

The sound of footsteps coming from far and near was heard outside the door, and then a person gently knocked on the door and pushed it open.

The person who came was not Nianchaosheng, but another Tingchaolou storyteller who Qiao Mu had been with before, a clairvoyant.

"Senior Qiao Yao, if you want to see my landlord, please move forward. My landlord is already in Tingchao Building, waiting for you."

Qiao Mu was slightly surprised.

The owner of Tingchao Tower reads Chaosheng, and he has always been famous for the dragon's head but not its tail.

Even though Jiuzhou is huge, the headquarters of Tingchao Tower has not yet been found.

Listening to this, Nian Chaosheng actually planned to meet him in Tingchao Building?

The next moment, I saw the storyteller's clairvoyance unrolling a scroll that he carried with him.

In the scroll, there is a mountain peak and cliff covered by clouds and fog.

Under the cliff, the waves are raging, and on the mountain is a very high wooden building, which seems to reach straight into the sky, with the clouds still hanging around the waist of the wooden building.

The plaque above the wooden building reads "Tingchao Building".

As the storyteller's clairvoyant voice guides him, Qiao Mu gradually sinks his mind into this landscape painting.

Gradually, the fragrance of flowers and plants and the salty smell from the sea breeze entered his nose. When Qiao Mu looked around again, he was already standing in front of the Tingchao Tower in the landscape painting.

Qiao Mu's heart sank.

From this moment on, his spiritual intuition can no longer sense his more than ten flesh and blood clones throughout Kyushu...

This was not the first time he had encountered this situation.

When he rushed to Xizhou more than half a year ago, he was rescued by Qiao Yuan and entered the secret realm of Kuafu Mountain. In the secret realm of Kuafu Mountain, he could not sense the flesh and blood clones of the outside world.

Qiao Mu looked up.

In front of the towering hill-like Tingchao Building, the white-faced scholar-looking building owner Nian Chaosheng was already waiting at the door of Tingchao Building.

"There are no wooden buildings as tall as hills in Kyushu." Qiao Mu looked up at the towering Tingchao Building.

"Mr. Qiao has a keen eye, but no matter how tall this wooden building is, it is not as good as Mr. Qiao's martial arts." Nian Chaosheng smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Just as Qiao Mu was about to step upstairs, Leng Buding raised his head and caught a glimpse of the threshold of Tingchao Building, and hesitated slightly.

The couplets on both sides of the gate of Tingchao Tower read:

"Top Gun, please go elsewhere, and don't risk your life to enter this door!"

Nian Chaosheng felt embarrassed when he saw where Qiao Mu's eyes were. He quickly stepped forward and tore off the couplet:

"It's fun to laugh. I heard that Chao Lou has no desire to dominate. He only wants a simple and peaceful life."

The two of them walked into the wooden building one after the other.

Jiang Chen and other storytellers followed behind, climbing up the stairs step by step along the spiral steps.

This time he came to Tingchao Tower to see Nian Chaosheng. He just wanted to ask about the founder of the Immortal Sect and where the source of the Tongtian River leads to.

No matter what the source is, Qiao Mu will try to disrupt whatever the founders of the Immortal Sect want to do... But before he steps into the source, he must first find out the details.

But when he arrived at Tingchao Tower, the doubts he had about Tingchao Tower arose again.

Climb up the stairs and pass through different floors from bottom to top.

The various floors are quite lively. There are horse-faced Confucian scholars who are drunk and splashing ink, a big man with skin as thick as stone, and a Shunfeng Er who has extremely large ears that are almost shoulder-length...

These storytellers have different images, and many of them look different from ordinary people, resembling monsters.

"Most of them are half-blood half-demon living in human cities."

Nian Chaosheng followed Qiao Mu's gaze and looked at the storytellers, explaining:

"I heard that although Chaolou is a martial arts sect, he has never fought against the world. He has never wanted to fight for hegemony and has stayed away from the disputes in the world."

At this moment, the horse-faced Confucian scholar who was drunk and drunk came up, waving a couplet in his hand.

This horse-faced Confucian scholar does not have a long face, but he does have a horse face. He is a mixed-blood monster in the human world.

"Master, I have already written the new couplet you mentioned last time. Do you think this couplet might be useful?"

Qiao Mu took a closer look and saw the couplets on the left and right saying:

"Sit and listen to the ebb and flow of the world

Lying down and watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky."

"Tsk. This is much better than the couplet just now." Qiao Mu looked sideways at Nian Chaosheng.

Nian Chaosheng laughed at himself and said:

"The world is miserable and full of disputes. And this Tingchao Building is actually just a shelter for a useless person like me who has no ambitions."

"Mr. Qiao has probably guessed that Tingchao Tower is actually no longer in the Jiuzhou world, but one of the ten blessed small worlds that disappeared after the turmoil in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths ten thousand years ago."

Having said this, the two of them had already climbed to the top floor of the Tingchao Building, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

The top floor is surrounded by walls on three sides and has a wide view. Looking directly at the sea of ​​clouds from the railing.

From under the vast sea of ​​clouds, the ebb and flow of the vast sea can be vaguely seen.

"Mr. Qiao seems to be here with questions. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Over the years, I have heard that Chaolou has made a lot of money among the nine states by spreading the stories about the Qiao family."

"If Mr. Qiao is of any use, just say so."

Nian Chaosheng smiled slightly, seeming quite kind and magnanimous.

However, no matter when he was talking or when he was climbing the stairs just now, he and Qiao Mu always kept a vague distance, obviously a little afraid.

Qiao Mu glanced at Nian Chaosheng and understood in his heart.

"It seems that the strongest person in the world is really popular." Qiao Mu knew it well.

When Nian Chaosheng saw Lingyuan Patriarch appearing, he immediately ran away.

But what appeared in front of him now was Qiao Mu, who could even kill Lingyuan Patriarch.

When Qiao Mu offered to visit Nian Chaosheng, the latter thought about it for two hours and still did not dare to refuse.

Although he didn't understand Qiao Mu's purpose, Nian Chaosheng obviously had no intention of becoming an enemy of Qiao Mu.

after all....

If you offend the Immortal Sect Patriarch, you may not die, because the Immortal Sect Patriarch cannot stay in the human world for too long. In order to maintain peak condition, they can even endure the revenge of the sect's destruction.

But if he offends Qiao Yao, the strongest person in the world... Nian Chaosheng is not willing to bear the consequences.

Qiao Mu also noticed some tension in Nian Chaosheng, so he prepared to satisfy his curiosity:

"Is this little world of yours in a painting?"

The storyteller in Tingchao Tower is actually not very powerful.

Naturally, they are not the trash that Nian Chaosheng calls them, but strange people with the blood of the demon race. They have different abilities, but there are no famous strong ones.

Despite this, Tingchaolou storytellers can often be seen in various places in Kyushu.

When floods broke through Linhe City in Southwest Prefecture, there was a storyteller there; even in the hundred-mile desert, which was once a restricted area of ​​life, there was a storyteller with clairvoyance.

Although they are not very powerful, they often appear in various parts of Kyushu, which is an anomaly in itself.

"Entering the painting is just a way to enter Tingchao Tower." Nian Chaosheng said:

"This blessed little world actually had a more prominent name before it fell into my hands."

Nian Chaosheng seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking:

"The real name of this small world is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain?" Qiao Mu was stunned.

Nian Chaosheng explained: "Among the ten sects that have disappeared, there is an immortal sect named 'Fangcun Mountain'."

"This immortal sect is said to have a profound foundation and inheritance in the upper world. However, when the spiritual energy of the Great World of Kyushu declined, its population was withered and it perished very early."

Speaking of this, Nian Chaosheng pointed forward and saw an ancient painting hanging on the wall of the pavilion.

This is a landscape painting. The fairy spirit in the painting is ethereal, and a fairy mountain emerges among the clouds and mist.

Just looking at the appearance of the portrait, it is very similar to the ancient painting of Qiao Mu entering the Tingchao Tower, except that there is one missing Tingchao Tower on the mountain.

"The real Lingtai Fangcun Mountain exists in the fairy world. And my small world of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain seems to be inextricably connected with it."

"The human heart is the spiritual platform, and the human heart is within a square inch." Nian Chaosheng explained:

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is a special small world of blessing, it is right in the heart of the people."

"There is no special entrance to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. As long as the Tingchao Tower remains in people's hearts, storytellers can enter the Tingchao Tower to avoid disasters."

"Storytellers from all over Kyushu can enter this Tingchao Tower and discuss current affairs with each other. Over time, this Tingchao Tower has become the most well-informed and most transcendent place in Kyushu."

Qiao Mu nodded with understanding, but more doubts immediately arose:

"With such a magical little world in the cave, you actually told me that you have no intention of seeking hegemony and only want to be a trend-listener on top of this wooden building?"

"Of course I have an agenda. After all, who in this world can live by just spreading rumors and bragging." Nian Chaosheng said:

"Mr. Qiao must also know that since the decline of spiritual energy, the demons and immortal cultivators in this world have suffered."

"The practice of the demon clan also involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the immortal monks have discovered the method of refining incense and fire talismans in the human world, but we demon clan have not."

"As a result, the demon clan, which was already inferior to those who cultivated immortals, became increasingly declining, except for some alien species that did not rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

When Nian Chaosheng said this, he couldn't help but glance at Qiao Mu:

"For example, the demon cat that follows Qiao's family all year round."

"Among the alien monsters that feed on death energy, very few can grow to the extent that it does. It can even swallow the Gray Frost Divine Sword of the Lingyuan Patriarch."

Qiao Mu was noncommittal.

"And I, Nian Chaosheng, am actually a mixed-blood monster of this type."

"For me, the process of letting the storytellers in Tingchao Tower spread rumors is the process of cultivation." Nian Chaosheng said.

Qiao Mu called him a good guy on the spot.

He originally thought that Nian Chaosheng was a slut, but he turned out to be more slutty than he thought.

Just like the greedy Yuanbao demon that Qiao Mu met in Southwest State, this Nian Chaosheng's cultivation method is also very different from that of ordinary demons.

There was a small world where people took refuge, but they were still cultivating in this way... No wonder they were able to open Tingchao Tower on their own to raise a large number of mixed-blood half-demon that were not tolerated by the human world.

He has the motive and the ability.

PS: Recommended book: People in Terra govern a strange small country

I would like to ask, if there is a country on this earth, its religious leader is the eldest sister in the family, the economic pillar is the eldest brother in the family, and the head of government and parliamentary leader is the third brother in the family, is there still hope for the future of this country? ?

"In short, the meeting of the three tribes has decided that you will be the first speaker of the Kjerag National Assembly."

Facing his eldest brother, Boss Yin, who had always been a bad person, Ernst Shivaash let out a long sigh.

In this world where the world line has drifted to Arknights, he just wants to ask the magical netizens:

"Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra and have just become prime minister. How do I govern a strange and small country?"
