King Cang also feels that it is his own fault, now that the evil has become stronger, it is indeed very troublesome to deal with it now, but King Cang, as the king of Cangguo, is not very difficult to deal with, and there can only be one king in Cangguo, that is, he King Cang.

The evil king must be suppressed, and King Cang now thinks about it, and he was indeed kind-hearted at that time.

In fact, King Cang had already decided in his heart that this matter was done by the evil king. In fact, one of the purposes of his grand birthday banquet was to wipe out the evil king and his henchmen. On the day of the birthday feast, the Evil King should be present. But he didn't expect the Evil King to take the lead and start in advance, which caught him off guard.

Xiao Lao said unhurriedly: "King, in fact, the most important thing now is in the Firmament Palace. ”

"Firmament Palace? Yes, why didn't this king think of it? If there is the support of the Firmament Palace, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" The Firmament Palace, which is an extremely mysterious existence, is located in the Firmament Valley, five hundred miles away from Cangyang City.

Xiao Lao shook his head: "King, it's not as simple as you imagined. The consistent purpose of the Firmament Palace is not to interfere in state affairs, so as long as the Firmament Palace does not support others, your position is unshakable. ”

King Cang asked in surprise: "Since the Firmament Palace does not interfere in state affairs, then do you mean that this king does not need to worry?"

Xiao Lao sighed: "If it was before, naturally don't worry, no matter how powerful the evil king is, as long as the military power is in your hands, you will not be afraid." No matter what it costs, you're in control. However, the current Firmament Palace has deteriorated. ”

King Cang asked again in surprise, "Spoiled?"

Xiao Lao said a little helplessly: "As far as the old slave knows, Cang Feng, the palace master of the Firmament Palace, has been retreated, and now it is his eldest disciple Wuxian who is in charge of the Firmament Palace. This Traceless Man is very close to the Evil King, perhaps they have colluded. ”

King Cang stood up in shock: "What? I heard that the world is out of the sky! If the Firmament Palace is on the side of the Evil King, wouldn't the king have gone away?"

"The king is at ease. Although the king did not take the old slave's suggestion back then, the old slave did not relax his vigilance against the evil king, and secretly cultivated a group of masters, who should be able to deal with the masters recruited by the evil king. ”

Thinking of his indecisiveness back then, King Cang felt a little guilty, but, as the king of a country, how could he bow his head casually, even if he was wrong, he would not easily admit his mistake.

King Cang looked up to the sky and sighed: "But the strength of the Firmament Palace is unfathomable! There is a saying that it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to destroy the firmament." The Firmament Palace is the holy land of martial arts in the world, and the disciples are all over the world, and if you go out at will, you are a generation of masters. If the Firmament Palace really supports the Evil King, then the King might as well automatically announce his abdication and give up the throne to the Evil King?"

If you let him automatically announce his abdication, and then give up the throne to the evil king, it is better to kill him directly. Now the situation is so grim, he is still daydreaming, how can he not be frightened?

Xiao Lao hurriedly persuaded: "The king's words are wrong! Even if you hand over the throne and the country now, will the evil king let you go? ”

King Cang glanced at Xiao Lao helplessly, and said, "Then what do you say? This king knows that if you don't have a certain basis, you won't say the above words." ”

Xiao Lao was silent, in fact, the Firmament Palace was already on the side of the Evil King, and he said that maybe it was just to make the King Cang feel relieved. On the second day after Traceless served as the acting palace master of the Firmament Palace, he began to come into contact with the Evil King. With such frequent contact with the evil king, it is impossible to simply drink tea and play chess, talk about life and ideals, and there must be some schemes.

What is the picture of the evil king, it is naturally the throne of the Great Cangguo. As for what is the Traceless subgraph, then I don't know. In fact, Xiao Lao also felt strange, as the acting palace master of the Firmament Palace, his status was respected, and he was not under the kings of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention that the Firmament Palace had never interfered in state affairs, what was the Traceless Son plotting?

Could it be that Xiao Lao actually had some numbers in his heart ------.

After a while, Xiao Lao comforted: "King, in fact, the Firmament Palace is not monolithic. There are many masters in the Firmament Palace, they live in simplicity, do not eat the fireworks of the world, and are dedicated to the pursuit of the highest level of martial arts, and they don't care about secular power at all, and the masters of the Firmament Palace have stipulated that the Firmament Palace must not interfere in state affairs, otherwise with the strength of the Firmament Palace, the world would have been unified long ago. ”

"What about this traceless?" King Cang was puzzled. Since the Firmament Palace stipulates that it is not allowed to interfere in state affairs, wouldn't this traceless person knowingly violate the rules of the Firmament Palace?

"So the Firmament Palace is not monolithic. If Wuzi interferes in state affairs, he will definitely be opposed by many people in the palace. However, as the acting palace master, he has great power and prestige, and there are naturally many people who support him, and he can also establish new rules. This is the most headache. ”

King Cang suddenly thought of a question and asked, "What if the Cangfeng Palace Lord is out of the customs?" Isn't Wuxian worried?" You must know that the Cangfeng Palace Master is not allowed to interfere in state affairs, if Wuxian supports the Evil King, it is interference in the internal affairs of the Great Cangguo Kingdom, which is tantamount to going against the wishes of the Cangfeng Palace Master.

Xiao Lao smiled bitterly: "It's difficult for him to get out!"

King Cang asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Lao sighed: "Alas, this actually involves a secret of the Firmament Palace. "With that, it seems to recall something.

"The secret of the Firmament Palace?" King Cang was shocked again. As far as he knows, the Firmament Palace is the most mysterious existence in the world, a thousand-year-old holy place of martial arts, admired by thousands of people, and in the eyes of the world, it is a sacred place and worshipped.

His father, the previous King of Cang, once instructed that anyone can be offended, but he can't offend the Firmament Palace, otherwise he will suffer a great disaster. He always kept it in mind.

The Great Cangguo has always been standing, and it is also because the Cangqiong Palace is in the territory of the Great Cangguo. If you rashly attack the Great Cangguo and anger the Firmament Palace, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The secret of the Firmament Palace, it is impossible for ordinary people to know, why would Xiao Lao know? King Cang wanted to ask this question, but he pressed it in his heart.

Xiao Lao said with a tone of reminiscence: "Few people know about this secret. If the Palace Master of the Firmament Palace announces a retreat and appoints a substitute palace master, then he must be in retreat. ”

"What is a closed death pass?" For such a concept, the king of Cang, who is not a person in the martial arts, naturally does not understand.

Xiao Lao explained: "The so-called death pass means that if you don't break through, you will never get out. Death retreat is dangerous, and if something goes wrong, it will be completely destroyed. But once you succeed, you will reach another level. ”

"Ahh

Xiao Lao nodded and said, "That's right." According to the regulations of the Firmament Palace, if the palace master has not been out of the palace for five years, the current palace master will automatically become the next palace master. ”

King Cang asked again suspiciously: "Since it is so dangerous to retreat, then why does he still want to retreat?" Yes, as the palace master of the Firmament Palace, his martial arts are already so high, it can be said that he is standing at the peak of the world, why is he going to retreat?

Is he afraid that others will surpass him? The world's kung fu out of the sky, the world's kung fu sect's firmament, and the world's martial arts are all passed down from the firmament palace, and he has no need to worry that others will surpass him.

Xiao Lao smiled and said, "Cangfeng Palace Master's martial arts have been practiced to the extreme, standing at the peak of martial arts, he naturally has a sense of loneliness, and everything in the world makes him not interested. What he is pursuing with all his heart is a higher realm. ”

"Higher realm, hasn't he already reached the highest realm?"

Xiao Lao shook his head and said, "No, maybe in this world, his martial arts have reached the highest level, but according to the Tantric records of the Firmament Palace, martial arts can actually reach a higher level, and at that time, he can be overwhelming, calling for wind and rain, and doing anything." ”

King Cang's mouth opened wide, and he asked incredulously, "What? Isn't that out of the realm of human beings and becoming immortals?"

Xiao Lao Zhengse said: "Yes, becoming an immortal, this is also the goal pursued by the palace masters of previous dynasties. In fact, all the palace masters of the past dynasties began to retreat when they practiced martial arts to the Great Perfection, but none of them came out. ”

King Cang didn't know how many times he had been thundered, and he was shocked again: "What? Are you saying that these palace masters are not life-spanning, but they have not come out of the retreat, or they may have died in the secret room of retreat?"

"That's true. ”

King Cang's heart was extremely shocked, if such a secret was revealed, then the whole world would want it. No wonder the palace masters of the past dynasties have disappeared, with their martial arts, it is normal to live for one or two hundred years, but it is rare to hear that there are palace masters who live one or two hundred years before abdicating.

King Cang asked weakly: "Old Xiao, is there really an immortal in the world?" Everyone in the world admires immortals, but no one knows whether immortals really exist.

Xiao Lao smiled bitterly: "I don't know, but Tantric records say that there are immortals, and it is said that the Firmament Palace is the first palace master to get the martial arts secret book of the world's first master Firmament 10,000 years ago."

After cultivation, the martial arts were established. It's just that this firmament recipe seems to be missing a few pages, the firmament recipe obtained by the first palace master, and the last page says that martial arts can reach a higher level, maybe it is the level of immortals, and there is also a method of cultivation, but unfortunately, this method of cultivation is missing a part, and it should be on the missing pages. Therefore, the retreat of the palace masters of the past dynasties was all for the purpose of penetrating this incomplete cultivation method. ”

King Cang was silent for a long time, and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask, that is: "Old Xiao, since this is the secret of the Firmament Palace, how do you know?"

Xiao Lao knew that King Cang would ask such a question, and he replied without thinking: "Because the old slave came out of the Firmament Palace." Speaking of this, Xiao Lao's face was filled with a strange brilliance, and it seemed that he was proud that he was from the Firmament Palace. At the same time, his half-closed eyes were open and radiant. If there is a difference between him and an ordinary old man, it is these eyes, which are shining with essence, indicating that he is full of energy.

"What, Elder Xiao, are you from the Firmament Palace?" King Cang looked at him in shock. Xiao Lao has followed him for many years and has never said his origins. According to Xiao Lao, the first king had a life-saving grace for him, and he was willing to be a slave to repay the kindness of the first king.

The first king's will asked King Cang to treat him with courtesy, as if he were a father, King Cang was a filial son, and he also respected the last wishes of the first king, and slowly he knew that Xiao Lao was a strange person, so Xiao Lao always called himself an old slave in front of him, and never changed his words.

Xiao Lao nodded and said, "The old slave is the eldest disciple of the palace master of the Firmament Palace, and Cangfeng is actually the senior disciple of the old slave. The old slave went out of the palace to practice, punished the evil and promoted the good, and when he saw the injustice, he drew a sword to help, and was called a hero, but unfortunately he offended too many people, so that he was conspired against and saved by the first king.

After the injury was healed, the old slave returned to the palace and asked the master to expel the old slave from the Firmament Palace, because the old slave wanted to repay the former king for saving his life, but the rules in the palace were not allowed to interfere in state affairs, and repaying the former king's life-saving grace was likely to involve state affairs, so the old slave could no longer be a member of the Firmament Palace. The master agreed to the old slave's request and expelled the old slave from the Firmament Palace, so few people knew the origin of the old slave. ”

"I see. King Cang suddenly realized that he admired Xiao Lao even more.

"Old Xiao, for so many years, I've suffered you. "As the eldest disciple of the Firmament Palace, Xiao Lao is very likely to take over as the palace master, even if he can't be the palace master, his status is extremely respectful, but he didn't expect to give up such a position in order to repay the grace of saving his life, so how noble his character is! He is a true hero, a real hero.

Looking back on these years, he did not treat Xiao Lao badly, he has always followed the will of the previous king, treated him with courtesy, regarded him as a father, and the heart of King Cang was also very calm, otherwise, he would really be ashamed of this old man.

Xiao Lao finally said: "Because the old slave is from the Firmament Palace, and he has also been exposed to many things, so he knows some secrets of the Firmament Palace, although the Firmament Palace seems very mysterious to outsiders, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing.

The masters in the Firmament Palace are like clouds, but these masters will not shoot easily, and the masters have the demeanor of the masters. Even if Wuxian Zi has no appeal and many people support him, there will not be too many people to help him when it comes to interfering in state affairs, so the king should not worry too much. ”

After listening to Xiao Lao's words, King Cang was full of confidence and laughed: "Haha, since Xiao Lao is from the Firmament Palace, there is no trace to be feared." ”

Xiao Lao shook his head and said, "No, with the strength of the old slave, he can't beat without a trace." ”

King Cang said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Count, you are his uncle!"

Xiao Lao explained: "The king doesn't know, the martial arts of the Firmament Palace are divided into four categories: superb, celestial, earthly and personal, among which the superlative martial arts are the most powerful, that is the mastery of the town palace, and only the palace masters of the past dynasties can cultivate. Originally, after the old slave returned to the palace, he was ready to teach the old slave the mastery of the town palace to the old slave, but the old slave asked him to expel the old slave from the Sky Palace, so he did not learn the town palace mastery. And Wuzi, as the acting palace master, must have learned superb martial arts, so the old slave is not his opponent at all. ”

The world's kung fu sect firmament, the martial arts of the firmament palace, the world's mighty world, even if the character martial arts are among the people, they can create a master, not to mention the earth grade martial arts and heavenly martial arts?

"What should I do then?" King Cang suddenly felt very helpless. If Xiao Lao has the ability to suppress Traceless, then there is still hope, but if Elder Xiao himself admits that he is not Traceless's opponent, then the situation is quite bad.

Xiao Lao persuaded: "King, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, no matter what, we have to be prepared." You can't hide what you do, you can't hide it. The words made King Cang regain some confidence: "That's right, this king has nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal to die." As for the treatment of everyone, what do you think should be done?"

Xiao Lao proposed: "Great King, you can send an army to protect the people who are waiting for you, so that she will not be frightened again." ”
