Chang'an Street, temporary residence of Prince Changling.
"Father, Master Sancun is here."
King Changling, who was sitting opposite Xu Liang, the king of Lingyi, stood up and said, "I'll take you to meet the top chess player in the world. Let's go."
The two vassal princes quickly came to the main entrance of the inn. Between them was a middle-aged man wearing a poor long robe with a reed in his mouth. He was talking leisurely to the very good-looking Xiao Sanjia next to him.
It made Xiao Sanjia hide his face and smile. The honest man standing next to him also had a smile on his lips, but he looked a little inconspicuous, no different from a farmer.
King Changling stood up straight, bowed his hands with both hands, and said, "Mr. Xu Yongjie."
Lu Sancun's eyes were not on Prince Changling. He looked at the prince next to him and said frivolously: "Your performance at today's banquet was indeed good, worthy of your name, Xu Chengdi."
Xu Chengdi, Xu became emperor.
But Xu Liang, the king of Lingyi who was standing next to him, felt nervous in his heart. Who is this person? Why does he know so much about today’s luncheon? Moreover, under the blue sky and white sun, he directly said such treacherous words and punished the nine tribes. It was really smart.
people?
King Changling couldn't help being happy. Xu Chengdi's behavior at the dinner table really made him happy from the bottom of his heart.
Why?
Because the scheming is ruthless and calm enough.
Hearing that behind Shen Xiuqi there was a thirteenth-level swordsman master, everyone would grin. But as a vassal king and Xu Luo's biological father, of course he couldn't wipe his face and look at Shen Xiuqi with pity.
That's why his face changed from gloomy to relaxed, and then to gloomy.
What is commendable is that the crown prince Xu Chengdi quickly caught the change in his father's face, so he took the initiative to propose a toast.
On the one hand, it gave King Changling enough face, and on the other hand, it preserved the relationship between Shen Xiuqi and the Thirteenth Level Sword Cultivator. Wouldn't it be nice to kill two birds with one stone?
Xu Chengdi bowed his head to the end: "Thank you Mr. Sancun for your appreciation!"
But the next second, Xu Chengdi knelt on the ground in pain, sweat dripping from his head. Prince Changling didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked: "Sir...?"
Lu Sancun's smiling face turned gloomy:
"If you are too smart, your life will be short-lived! There were two men and one woman in the Nine-Five Square that day, but you arranged to exclude Xu Qingmu?"
Xu Chengdi was sweating like rain and knelt on the ground unable to move.
Lu Sancun stepped on it again:
"Idiot, your impromptu kick became the trigger for someone to overturn the situation. That Zuo Qiuliang was one of the main players in the God-Slaying War back then! How is doing such a small trick in front of him any different from seeking death?"
Everyone was shocked, the battle to kill the gods? Zuo Qiuliang?
Especially Xu Chengdi, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to move under the pressure of Lu Sancun's momentum, felt as if he was about to die at this moment, and his heart was full of panic and despair.
It's so powerful that it can kill you instantly with just one look!
King Changling next to him begged: "Sir, my son is ignorant, please show me your kindness..."
Lu Sancun retracted his stepped foot, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Hehe, whatever, whatever. Since you said so, forget it. But boy, you owe me a life, and this kindness must be repaid."
Then someone said to himself:
"Well...it does have to be repaid."
As the kick was withdrawn, Xu Chengdi felt relieved, gasping for air and sweat dripping down.
Lu Sancun turned to look at Lingyi King Xu Liang again: "I heard that your chess skills are unparalleled, sir? Can you please play two games without comment?"
Xu Yong was also sweating profusely. The intuition this man gave him only had two words:
fear.
The horror that comes from the depths of my heart, what is hidden behind that smile is an invisible abyss. It seems as if a giant beast will emerge at any time and devour everything.
At that moment, the king of Lingyi bowed:
"Xu Yong, what an honor!"
...
----------------
When Wang Shuai caught up with the carriage again, he was a little afraid of Fu Xiansheng. He sat slightly at the rear of the carriage and said, "You sir don't remember the faults of villains. Let's forget about it."
Fu Xiansheng's complexion improved a little.
At that moment, Xu Qingmu asked: "What exactly is Weird Zhi?"
Mentioning this, Wang Shuai's face was filled with pride again. He took out a bottle of red mysterious liquid, carefully dripped a drop, and landed on the yellowed sheepskin scroll. In an instant, there was a brilliant light, with colorful dragons and phoenixes.
Flying out and flying over the parchment, accompanied by the roar of dragons and phoenixes, two lifelike mythical beasts plunged into the parchment, revealing a colorful map.
"After the God-Slaying War, the Five Emperors fell, and the places where they fell became very mysterious relics. This strange journal is the key to finding these relics."
Xu Qingmu was extremely shocked, not because of the legends of these ruins, but because of the battle to kill the gods.
"What is the battle to kill the gods?"
When Wang Shuai heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Xu Qingmu as if he were a fool: "Brother, what you should be excited about now is these relics, right? Never mind the battle to kill the gods."
The white-haired Fu Xiansheng spoke:
"It is rumored that the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm, in order to kill the great demons and underworld tribes who are evil in the world, risked their lives and spent a lot of money to break through the sky and fight to the death with the evil spirits in the world together with the strong men in the world."
"In the end, the world was completely broken up, and the spiritual energy was completely dissipated. The big demon was suppressed in the depths of the South China Sea, and the Beiming clan was re-sealed in the far north. Later, it was renamed Qingming Beiyou, and was sealed by the saint with a great magic circle.
, will never come out. And the five emperors all died and were scattered everywhere in the world, forming a legacy."
Xu Qingmu was extremely surprised. Such things were completely beyond his knowledge.
Zuo Sanzhi looked at Fu Xiansheng: "You know a lot."
Tu, who was as tall as a young man, felt a little lonely. In the end, he never went to the other side of the Nine-Five Square and called "Master". In this way, it had been five years since he had seen each other again.
"I have a master, and he told me these things."
Zuo Qiuliang nodded and said to Li Chengru: "Have you noticed that when you were at the peak of the Thirteenth Realm, an unknown force summoned you?"
Li Chengru nodded, looking thoughtful: "How do you know? Are you also in the Thirteenth Realm?"
Zuo Qiuliang laughed at himself: "No."
Then he pointed to the sky above the palace: "After the God-Slaying War, this area of the world has never left the realm beyond the Ascension Realm. Even if it has, it has been pulled away by invisible rules and gone to the God Realm. Let alone ascension.
After the state, the state of standing up, the state of not being confused, etc.”
Xu Qingmu was even more surprised, Ascension Realm? Standing Realm?
"Before the thirteen realms of human sword cultivation, they were all called the Zhixue realm, also called the Ascension realm, followed by the Erli realm, the No-confusion realm, the Fate-knowing realm, the Listening realm, the Congxin realm, etc. The top five emperors in the battle to kill the gods are
A monk from the state of mind.”
Xu Qingmu had seen Li Chengru's sword of the Thirteenth Level in Book Burial Mountain, which could be said to split the heaven and shake the earth. How tyrannical would Cong Xinjing be, which was even more powerful than this?
"Boy Xu, this world is far more complicated than you think. These hundreds of millions of creatures in the rivers and mountains are nothing more than a bunch of ruthless dogs."
Xu Qingmu suddenly remembered what Li Chengru once said to Xu Qingmu while standing in the desert at the frontier:
"If one day comes, please take care of these billions of living beings."
Zuo Qiuliang's expression at this moment looked very much like Li Chengru's that night.
But soon, Zuo Qiuliang spoke again: "These are still too far away. The most important thing for you on the road now is to improve your strength and repair the Dengxian Bridge."
This is why tall buildings rise from the ground.
Everyone's eyes were once again drawn back to Weird Chronicles. According to the current route, they calculated that the nearest ruins to themselves would only need half a month's walking to reach them. Everyone then readjusted their direction and followed the path. Road map, heading towards the ruins.
On this trip, Fu Xiansheng, Wang Shuai and others were added, but Fatty and Xu Luo were missing. Because he had to prepare for the wedding and other matters, Fatty returned to Yehuang City first to discuss the proposal of marriage with Shen Zhu.
The original escort team also stayed in Chang'an City. After all, there were no delicate nobles to serve on this trip, but it could save the escort team some trouble.
A group of thirteen people divided into four carriages and headed towards the target. Lin Xue, Cao Tong, Liu Liu, Ye Qingxian and the red carp, five girls sat together in a wider carriage. Xu Qingmu, Wang Shuai , Li Chengru, Fu Xiansheng, and Zuo Qiuliang were also crowded in a carriage, studying the map. The remaining Qishang, Song Qidao, and the little girl Baxia were lying on the last carriage, Yuzai Youzai, sleep and have a great sleep.
The only thing that made Zuo Qiuliang a little sad was that Chen Shuangguan and Chen Yun, who were in excellent shape, said they were going home to visit their elderly parents and left everyone first.
Zuo Qiuliang shouted to heaven and earth, muttering ten thousand reluctances. If Chen Yun hadn't tried his best to stop him, Zuo Sanzhi would have left everyone and followed Chen Yun back to visit his relatives.
The carriage passed by a corner and was stopped by a middle-aged man with a jade hanging around his waist. When Xu Qingmu got out of the carriage and saw the man clearly, he immediately felt happy:
"Brother Qi, long time no see!"
It is Qi Chunfeng.
When Siyue Lake met Lu Sancun, Li Chengru asked Qi Chunfeng to go to the palace first and explain the situation to the Queen. This separation lasted more than half a year. Now that Xu Qingmu saw the person in front of him, he felt even more cordial.
I don't know why, but I can always feel the warmth of brother Wang Ziyi from Qi Chunfeng.
That prince Yi, who is as beautiful as a stranger, always makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
When Qi Chunfeng saw Xu Qingmu, he also had a smile on his face: "Yes, long time no see. The Queen asked me to come and go with you this time. Can you welcome me?"
Xu Qingmu smiled and said, "Will you get beaten if you don't welcome me?"
"That's not the case. I will only report to the Empress that Xu Qingmu doesn't even recognize her as my eldest brother!"
For a moment there was laughter, echoing the breeze.
A scene from this world.
--------------------------
"Uncle Xu, you are still angry. Didn't I apologize to you? I promise I will never call you Xu again!"
"You're still mentioning it when you're riding a horse!"
Xu Kun directly kicked his companion beside him with a flying kick. The man from Lilan Palace who came with him took a step back with a smile, but his toes did not touch the ground.
"How stingy. You said Taozhi, do you really want to marry that prince Xu Pei?"
Mentioning this, Xu Kun became even more upset:
"Otherwise, what should we do? Kill Xu Pei? It's a bullshit rule set by Lilan Palace. I'll say it will happen sooner or later!"
Perhaps in anger, Xu Kun continued:
"And the Palace Master of Lilan Palace, who has never been seen again in the past ten years, knew that Jiang Taozhi was a 'Tiandao' talent, but did not return to Lilan Palace to preside over the coronation, so that Taozhi could break through and ascend as soon as possible!"
The two of them were sitting by the lakeside of the palace, one complaining and the other listening. They didn't notice anyone walking behind them at all.
"Perhaps the Lord of Lilan Palace has other reasons?"
There was a sweet voice, but the angry Xu Kun was completely immersed in depression: "What's the reason? I see, the palace master is too ugly and jealous of Taozhi!"
He picked up a piece of rubble and created a long string of splashes on the water.
"Good luck to the Queen!"
The man traveling with Xu Kun suppressed his laughter and paid his respects to Queen Cao.
Only then did Xu Kun wake up. He quickly turned around and looked at Jiang Taozhi who came with the Queen. He blushed to the roots of his ears for a moment. He bowed incoherently and slightly raised his head to look at Jiang Taozhi. The latter's face remained unchanged, not even a trace of fluctuation.
None.
well......
Xu Kun sighed in his heart, after all these years, he had not been able to melt this piece of ice. But he was relieved immediately. He looked down on himself because Taozhi was so angry, and naturally he also looked down on the prince Xu Pei.
"Get up and get ready. Next month, you will be the best man at Xu Pei and Jiang Taozhi's wedding."
Like a bolt from the blue!
Xu Kun stayed where he was, and it took him a while to react. He looked at Empress Cao who didn't seem to be joking: "You are not serious, are you, Empress?"
Cao Yuqiu smiled even more: "I originally wanted to delay it, but Taozhi thought that a month is just right."
At that moment Xu Kun completely fell into the ice cellar.
"Also, you don't need to call me Queen Empress here. It would be more appropriate to call me 'Palace Master'."
After saying that, Cao Yuqiu lightly stamped his feet, and the palace master's order, which was only available to the master of Lilan Palace, floated above his head.
...
Xu Kun, who was about to cry without tears, thought of the uncle who named him. The fat man who also liked to carry a peach branch and wear a peach blossom, but was firmly in the top three of the sword list - Xu Sanning.
Xu Kun wanted to ask him why he chose this name? Maybe all the good things went away from the moment he called him Xu Kun. Who in the right mind would use this name?
