The Tianxing Empire Palace was bustling tonight. The usually cold and solemn hall was brightly lit. There were hundreds of finely crafted long tables placed in the hall, about ten feet long and more than a foot high. Each table
There are seven or eight people sitting around the table, including men, women, old and young. They are all in different costumes, but there is one thing in common. Everyone here has a faint sparkle in their eyes...
The table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, wine and fruits, and some maids in palace costumes are constantly walking between them, busy adding wine and food.
Chu Tianxing on the throne changed from his usual stern look today, with a smile on his face. He frequently raised his glass and drank with everyone in the hall and chatted. The whole hall was filled with a strange aura of wine, meat and fruits.
There is a lonely table in the corner on the left side of the hall. There are only three men sitting on the table. One is Chu Tianxing's personal favorite, Bao Lin. The other two are just burying their heads and drinking.
The two brothers Jin Gui and Jin Mei returned to the imperial capital.
From time to time, Pauling whispered to comfort the two brothers who couldn't stop drinking. The two brothers turned a deaf ear and just filled up the wine glasses in their hands and drank them all... with sad faces.
A few days ago, the battle in Ten Thousand Beasts Forest became an indelible pain in the hearts of the two brothers. The three ghosts, who were usually extremely conceited, were as vulnerable as three-year-old children in front of the evil eagle. If it were not for the mysterious gift given by their master,
Jing Tianlei escaped by luck, but the three brothers may have perished long ago. Even so, it would be thanks to the mysterious snake demon who kept the trap open. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable... Thinking of this, the brothers' backs still felt chilly.
A few days ago, the two brothers sent a letter to their master, Hanbingguisou, to come down the mountain and help them kill the eagle demon to avenge their third brother Jinzheng. Unexpectedly, there was no news. The two brothers could only borrow money every day.
Drink to relieve sorrow, get drunk like mud!
The hall is full of strange people who have been recruited from all over the world in the past hundred days. There are also strong men with superb martial arts skills, but there are absolutely no people who are just trying to make up for the numbers.
After three rounds of drinking, Chu Tianxing was already slightly tipsy. He walked down from the throne with a red face and a wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone must be aware of the king's intention to invite you to come today. I would like to pay my respects in advance."
Everyone, have a drink!" After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it down.
Everyone raised their glasses to drink together, of course, there were two exceptions, and that was the two ghost brothers who were already drunk.
Chu Tianxing cleared his throat and took advantage of the drunkenness to make another very tempting promise: "If we can get back the blood of the golden dragon this time, I, the king who takes the lead, will give me ten thousand leaves of purple gold and thousands of cold irons."
Two, and a hundred high-quality Xuanjing as a thank you gift! And he was awarded the position of Tianxing Imperial Master, a mansion, and a permanent salary!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall became silent in an instant. If the high-ranking officials and generous salaries were not enough to seduce these powerful strangers who usually have high eyesight, those cold iron black crystals were also enough to make their blood boil.
Chu Tianxing paced relaxedly with his eyes half closed, as if he was very satisfied with the effect created by his words. Having been in a high position for a long time, he naturally understood that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, even for these usually pretentious people.
, it’s hard to resist the temptation of equivalent value and benefits!
But there were also a very few people who seemed to be unmoved and just tasted the wine in the cup. The attentive Chu Tianxing remembered the faces of these people one by one.
"I would like to ask Lord Tianxing, what are the benefits of these people who went to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to slay dragons and draw blood?" The person who broke the silence was a middle-aged scribe. The loose scholar's shirt did not hide his wretched appearance.
He was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, two slender mustaches sticking out from his lips, and a pair of bulging eyes with a twinkle in his eyes. He was quite a character.
Chu Tianxing thought for a moment and immediately laughed loudly: "Haha! Thank you for the reminder, righteous man. I hereby expressly state that anyone who enters the forest will be rewarded with purple gold shutters, twelve taels of cold iron, and a middle-grade Xuanjing. I don't know what you think.
?”
Emperor Tianxing's generosity once again made the heroes' blood boil. Unexpectedly, even if they followed the crowd into the forest, there would be such a generous reward. For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly raised to an almost fanatical extreme.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Mahou will do his best to slay the golden dragon with all the heroes!" It turns out that this wretched-looking scribe is named Mahou, and he is just like his name, he looks like a big horse wearing a Confucian shirt.
Monkey!
"Kill the Golden Dragon together..."
I don't know who roared like thunder, and all the heroes in the hall echoed in unison. Slogans of 'kill the golden dragon together' suddenly appeared one after another in the hall, and the eyes of the heroes flashed with blazing light.
"You don't know what you can do!" A deep and deep voice suddenly sounded in the hall, causing the originally warm and exciting atmosphere in the hall to stagnate. Everyone followed the sound, and it turned out that the person who spoke was the golden ghost in the left corner of the hall. I don't know why.
The golden ghost who was lying drunkenly at that time was already standing up with his arms folded, his eyes wide open with bright red bloodshot eyes, and his appearance was very ferocious, like a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour.
Everyone present was a famous hero and stranger. Jin Gui's words caused an uproar. Many people glared at the two brothers, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense.
Ma Hou and the three Han Bing ghosts were old acquaintances, and he knew very well what the three brothers were capable of. Looking at the sad and angry look on Jin Gui's face, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. He quickly walked forward and asked loudly.
An understanding.
With a smile on his face, Ma Hou bowed to Jin Gui and said, "Brother Jin, it's been a long time!"
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling man with your fist, not to mention that Ma Hou and the three ice ghosts have a close personal relationship on weekdays, so the golden ghost has no way to vent his anger, so he can only slap his hands and say with hatred: "Lin of Ten Thousand Beasts"
The situation is very dangerous, and there are monsters with advanced cultivation standing there. If it weren't for the protection of Master, the three of us brothers would have died long ago, alas!"
Having said this, Jin Gui stopped and sighed, with tears in his eyes. The previous domineering spirit disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of loneliness and helplessness.
"Thank you, Brother Jin, for reminding me. Hey! Why don't you see Brother Jin Gui?" Ma Hou had already noticed that Jin Gui had a strange look on his face, so he asked this question.
"Third brother, he..." Jin Gui hesitated, with a miserable look on his face, and even his body began to tremble slightly.
Fortunately, Pauling on the side patted the golden ghost a few times on the shoulder and said softly: "It's a pity that the golden ghost was broken into the hands of some monster, and it ended up with no bones left..."
...Although Ma Hou had already made a guess in his mind, he was shocked when he heard the bad news from Pauling's own words. The three ghost brothers had known him for more than ten years, and they already knew how capable they were.
Ming, although the martial arts of the golden beast is slightly inferior to the two brothers, his light kung fu is enough to stand out among the heroes. Unexpectedly, it was lost in the forest of ten thousand beasts. This shows that the cultivation of the monsters in the forest should not be underestimated!
"The three ice ghosts are nothing more than that. How could they be scared out of their wits by the monsters in the forest?" A hoarse voice full of mockery sounded in vain.
To the ears of the two ghosts, these words were tantamount to provocation, and they were still provocations. Jin Mei stood up, grabbed the whip in her palm with a cry, and glared at the person who made the sound.
The speaker was an old man in a red robe, seven feet tall, with a lion's nose and a slender face. At first glance, he was not a kind person. His beard and hair were all white, but his face was rosy, and he did not look old at all.
Her bun is like a Taoist priest's attire.
"That old weirdo in red robe, are you trying to bring bad luck to our brother?" The golden charm pointed its long whip at the old man in red robe and shouted sternly.
"Haha, little baby, didn't that old ghost teach you etiquette? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Taoist master!" The old Taoist god in red robes laughed loudly while sitting firmly at the table.
Uh! When they heard the word 'old ghost', the two brothers felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them, and their tone softened instantly.
Jin Gui strode forward, clasped his fists at the old Taoist and said, "How can you recognize your master without asking for the name of the Taoist?" There was a bit more respect in his words.
The old red-robed Taoist didn't even get up. He smiled brightly and said: "Master Chiyan, the Taoist Master, is here to join in the fun of today's dragon-slaying event!"
After saying that, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a piece of greasy meat, put it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Huh! The golden ghost took a breath when he heard this. The name of the Red Flame True Lord may be familiar to everyone present. He is one of the characters with the same name as the Ice Ghost. This man has a perverse personality and is extremely violent.
He is a notorious murderer, known as the Red Flame Demon Lord. Rumor has it that this old guy is a thousand years old and has reached the pinnacle of demonic skills. He disappeared hundreds of years ago without a trace. I didn't expect that he would be here.
Appear here!
The faces of the heroes all changed, and those who claimed to be righteous men even quietly held their weapons in their hands. The scene was silent, except for the sound of heavy snoring.
"Haha! It turns out to be Taoist Priest Chi Yan. I offended you just now. Please don't blame Taoist Priest!" Jin Mei stepped forward and said loudly with a smile on her face.
As a character as famous as the Ice Ghost Old Man, even if the two ghosts are very brave, they cannot afford to offend him. They can only settle the matter and try not to make any mistakes.
Only Chu Tianxing was overjoyed. He didn't expect to be able to recruit such a powerful person this time. Regardless of whether he was evil or not, he would be a little more confident about this trip to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
It's true that the name of the tree shadow, this Red Flame Demon Lord scared all the heroes in the hall into silence as soon as he showed up. Of course, there are a few exceptions among them...
Chu Tianxing took a few steps forward and bowed to Chi Yan, then turned to face the people in the hall and said: "Everyone, please listen to what I say. I invite you here just to kill the monsters in the forest and get the golden dragon."
The blood of the dragon, I will never favor one over the other, the person who can obtain the dragon blood is my benefactor, Chu Tianxing, but if you need anything, as long as Chu is able to do so, I will grant it to you!"
The majestic monarch of the country could hardly beat his chest and raise his arms and shout loudly at this moment. The heroic spirit in his words was no less than those of those knights who had been in the world for a long time! Pauling was stunned when he heard this.
"Where is Pauling?" Chu Tianxing shouted.
"The end is here!"
"Tomorrow I order you to command an army of one hundred thousand, and together with all the righteous men, conquer the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"The last general has received his order, and he will not return the throne unless he takes the dragon's blood!" Pauling knelt down on one knee and swallowed the mountains and rivers with anger.
"Roar! If you don't take the dragon's blood, I swear you won't return the favor!"
... Thousands of strong men in the hall raised their weapons together, raised their arms and shouted!
