Chapter 618: Choosing a Son-in-law
"To tell you the truth, brother, I just returned from the sea, and I only stepped into Tianyun County today for another thing. I have never heard of this son-in-law election. Brother, can you tell me more about it?" Wu Song said.
"Naturally," Hua Xing said, "There is a seventh princess in this Tianyun County, who is twenty-eight years old this year, and has reached the age of marriage, so the emperor wants to find a husband for his daughter."
This seventh princess is not an ordinary person. She has been fond of dancing with knives and sticks since she was a child, and at the age of eight, she worshipped a monk who had advanced cultivation as her master and began to practice.
Seven years ago, there was no truce between the Celestial Empire and the Terrestrial Empire. Once, the Tianyun Monarchy was attacked by an army of the Earthland Empire, and the army of the Tianyun Monarchy was defeated one after another. The armies of the Terrestrial Empire have all reached the capital.
The situation can be described as extremely critical, the army in the capital at that time was far from enough to fight against the army of the Earth Huan Empire, morale was low, the situation was almost decided, and soon, the capital of Tianyun County would fall.
The Seventh Princess, who was not yet ten years old at the time, resolutely climbed the city wall, led the soldiers, and fought against the army of the Terrestrial Empire.
The morale of the soldiers of Tianyun County was greatly boosted, and they finally survived until the arrival of reinforcements and defeated the army of the Earth Empire.
It is said that in that siege battle, the Seventh Princess killed two centurions and wounded one thousand-commander. For her age, it was an incredible thing.
From this, you can see what kind of person this seventh princess is. ”
"But," Wu Song asked, "what does this have to do with the election of a son?"
Hua Xing said, "Of course it matters, the husband that the seventh princess wants must be a brave and well-known hero." Therefore, she didn't look down on any of the imperial relatives and princes and ministers introduced to her by the emperor.
Those sons and brothers all grew up in the gentle township, and they were either hollowed out by wine, or they had no ambitions and cultivated lowly.
The emperor searched for everyone he could find, but none of them could get into the eyes of the seventh princess. In desperation, the emperor asked the seventh princess what kind of person she was looking for as a husband.
The seventh princess said her request, and also proposed to her father the method of choosing a son-in-law. ”
"So what does this son-in-law election mean?" Wu Song said.
"To put it simply, it's a joust. The winner will get the heart of the Seven Princesses and a reward. Hua Xing said.
"What reward?" Wu Song said.
"That is to explore a secret realm with the powerhouses of Tianyun County. Hua Xing said.
"A secret realm, is there anything there?" Wu Song said.
"There's something magical in there that makes people fly. Hua Xing pretended to be mysterious, "In the capital of Tianyun County, the royal family will show flying miracles in front of the palace every seven dawn days. ”
"Flying miracles?" Wu Songhu wondered, this Hua Xing is more and more strange.
"Yes, there was a magical thing flowing out of that secret realm, and someone in the royal family of Tianyun County understood the usage of that thing, so with the help of that thing, that person could fly in the sky.
One of the purposes of my coming to Tianyun County was to see that miracle. ”
Hua Xing said excitedly.
"Haven't you seen that miracle?" Wu Song said.
"No, I've actually only been in Tianyun County for a few days. But although I haven't seen it, almost half of the people in the entire Tianyun County have seen it, and everyone says that the miracle is indeed true. Hua Xing said.
"Oh, that's right. Wu Song pondered, "Has the royal family announced the location of the secret realm?"
"That's definitely not it, do you think, Brother Wu, the location of the secret realm has been announced, so how many monks will go to that secret realm." Hua Xing said.
Wu Song nodded, this was what he expected. After all, in today's Xuanwu Realm, even the monks at the peak of the Innate Realm are unable to fly in the sky.
You can imagine how attractive things can be that can fly in the air.
Wu Song came to Tianyun County, the original purpose was to go to the Falling Cloud Plains, find the spaceships left by the ancient ten thousand clans, and destroy them to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
Now that Wu Song has learned about the flying miracle from Hua Xing's mouth, he can't help but connect the two.
Could it be that the secret realm is where the spaceship is located?
The so-called things that can make people fly, are they just taken off spaceships?
"Brother Wu, what are you thinking?" Hua Xing saw that Wu Song fell into a long contemplation, and couldn't help but call him.
"Oh, nothing. Hasn't Niutou Mountain arrived yet?" Wu Song came back to his senses and said.
"It should be a short distance ahead. Hua Xing pointed to the front.
As soon as Hua Xing's words fell, he heard a sound of breaking the sky. A sharp arrow flew from a distance and went straight to Wu Song.
Wu Song frowned, waved a palm wind, and slapped the sharp arrow away.
The two of them were walking on a mountain road at this time, and on both sides of the road, there were slopes about ten meters high.
At this time, more than twenty people appeared from the hillside, each holding a bow and arrow and a steel knife in their hands, looking at Wu Song and Hua Xing with fierce looks.
Mastiff Yang stood on a protruding rock, and said loudly, "Hmph! You two bastards, you dare to break into our cottage? Today I will let you die without a place to bury! Little ones, kill me!"
With his shout, the bandits bent their bows and arrows, and for a moment, the arrows rained down.
"Brother Hua, you deal with the right, I deal with the left. Wu Song said.
"Good. Hua Xing said, after speaking, his body flickered, and his body turned into a phantom, and then the phantom quickly disappeared, and Hua Xing disappeared out of thin air.
Wu Song praised in his heart, it was the second time he saw Hua Xing perform his tricks, but it was still the same as the first time, and he felt very magical.
Sharp arrows poured down from the air, and Wu Song carried the blade without a shadow, and his palms flew up and down, as fast as two shadows. A series of palm winds sent out from between Wu Song's palms, shaking all the flying arrows that came at him.
Then Wu Song jumped onto the hillside and fought with the bandits.
A bandit drew a knife in his hand and cut Wu Song's head. Wu Song dodged sideways, grasped his fist in his right, and lifted the Celestial Elephant Fist, punching the bandit on the head.
The bandits' heads exploded, and the headless corpses staggered and tumbled down the hillside.
Wu Song carried the Heavenly Elephant Fist and rushed back and forth on the hillside, like a lion entering the flock, invincible and invincible.
For a while, I heard screams on the hillside, blood and ** flying sideways, and corpses continued to roll down from the hillside onto the mountain road.
It only took a few moments for the corpses to block the mountain road.
Of the more than twenty bandits, only five or six remained.
"Young man, spare your life!" the bandits shouted, and they all knelt down to Wu Song.
", remember that if you dare to do anything wrong in the future, I will never let you go. Wu Song said coldly.
"Thank you Shaoxia, thank you Shaoxia. The bandits thanked each other and ran away.
Here, Wu Song is over the battle. Hua Xing on the other side was almost the same, he was not as ruthless as Wu Song, and most of the bandits who were defeated were only injured and did not die.
Hua Xing was plotted by Mastiff Yang in the inn and suffered two injuries. The wound to the right shoulder was severe, the bone was shattered, and the entire right arm could not be moved.
Later, on the way up the mountain, Wu Song used the Thousand Directions Sutra to heal Huaxing's injuries and connected the bones of his right shoulder. At this point, his right hand was barely usable.
Wu Song said in a loud voice, "Brother Hua, I'm here to help you." ”
After speaking, Wu Song showed his body technique, a few ups and downs, and came to the opposite hillside.
Hua Xing's figure flickered, and suddenly several phantoms appeared, each of which was lifelike, exactly the same as Hua Xing, unless he really touched it, otherwise just by looking, it was impossible to see which one was true and which one was false.
The remaining three or four bandits were all dazzled and didn't know who to attack.
Just when they were stunned, Hua Xing slapped everyone's vest like lightning, sealing their vest points.
Several bandits fell to the ground, unable to move.
"No need, Brother Wu, I'm done cooking here. Hua Xing said.
"There's you..."Wu Song was about to exaggerate Hua Xing, when he suddenly saw a black light hitting Hua Xing's back, and said busily, "Be careful!"
When Wu Song spoke, the black light had already hit Hua Xing's back.
But the black light passed straight through Hua Xing's body and hit the ground. Suddenly, the rubble was scattered, and a large crater was punched in the ground.
It turned out that Hua Xing used his trick at the moment when Wu Song reminded him, and his real body had already escaped, and what remained in place was just a phantom.
"Brother Wu, I'm fine. Hua Xing appeared beside Wu Song.
"That's good. Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha! You two bastards, do you think defeat my men and the end of the matter?
A big man appeared on the rocks not far away and said sharply.
He wears a ring in his hand with a black stone set in it. Just now, he used the ring on his hand to emit black light and attack Hua Xing.
The big man was nine feet tall, with a puffed beard on his chin and two large eyes that shot a crazy light.
Dahan stood directly north of Wu Song and the two, and then on the west side of the two, another person came out.
This person is also extremely tall, but very thin, making his whole person look like a bamboo pole.
This person also had a black stone ring in his hand, and looked at Wu Song and the others with an unkind face.
Then, on the east side of the two, a person reappeared. This person is Mastiff Yang, and he also has a black stone ring on his hand. It seems that in the inn, he used this black stone ring to shoot black light.
"Who are you?" Wu Song pointed to the Great Han in the north.
"Bastard, how dare you be so rude to our boss? He is the boss of our Niutou Mountain, and that is the second leader of our Niutou Mountain. Mastiff Yang said sharply.
"Okay, all three of us are here. That's right, I'll look for you one by one, and now I can catch you all. Wu Song said.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? So many monks who came here before couldn't help us, what kind of onion are you, dare to say this?"
