Chapter 9: All Night Ahead
Jiaomu Jiao stood on the steps outside the main hall of Lingjue Palace with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup in his hand, looking at the dark Cuiwei Mountain opposite in a daze.
"Don't hurry up and eat the supper in the bowl, if it's cold, you'll disappoint Zhuo Yun!"
A voice came from behind, Jiaomu Jiao turned his head and saw that it was Zhuo Hua, so he smiled, picked up the spoon and began to eat.
"What are you thinking?" Zhuo Hua was on top of the imperial steps, he patted the steps beside him, and motioned for Jiaomu Jiao to sit down as well.
"Nothing, some trivial things. Jiaomu Jiao raised his head and drank the soup in the delicate small bowl in one gulp, lifted his robe and sat on the ground, and put the delicate small bowl beside him.
"I don't think you're fine. Something in your heart is written on your face. Zhuo Hua asked with a smile on his face.
Lin Bai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's Jia Lan." You've been messing with me for the past two days. ”
Zhuo Hua nodded and said, "I know, it's for you to lead the team to the Nine Heavens Nova." ”
Lin Bai lowered his head and did not speak, and turned the porcelain bowl with one finger on the stone steps.
Zhuo Hua stretched out his palm and waved it towards the small bowl, only to see that the small bowl that was still spinning on the stone steps just now suddenly came into the air and spun on its own.
"Jialan is happy!" After a while, Lin Bai expressed his worries.
"Hmm!"
"You wouldn't have guessed it a long time ago, would you?"
"It's not very early, you guessed it just now when you were fiddling with this porcelain bowl. ”
"Then you have to let me say it. Lin Bai didn't know whether he was really angry or fake, so he stood up with a hula and wanted to leave.
"Then you can stay in the Cloud Palace! I'll let Yu Heishi and Qin Ying go. Zhuo Hua was still turning the porcelain bowl and said leisurely.
"How can that be done! I don't have to do anything every time she makes trouble twice in the future, what should the people in the Cloud Palace think of me Lin Bai?"
"Jia Lan is not a vexatious person, there must be a reason for necessity. ”
There was silence again.
"If you don't say it, I'll pretend that this incident didn't happen, what should you do or what should you do!" Zhuo Hua finished speaking, and pretended to get up and leave.
"Jialan, she is very happy, she smells meat in the past two months, she is sick to her stomach, she can't sleep well, and the whole person is a lot haggard. When I heard that I was going on a mission to the Nine Heavens Nova, I cried every day. ”
"She's worried that your child will be born without a father?" Zhuo Hua asked Lin Bai with a smile.
Limber was silent again.
Zhuo Hua stood up, and with a wave of his right hand, the delicate porcelain bowl that rotated elegantly in the air flew towards Lin Bai.
Lin Bai subconsciously reached out and grabbed it in the air, and the porcelain bowl was instantly crushed.
Zhuo Hua looked at the broken porcelain bowl, patted Lin Bai's shoulder and said, "This mission is very dangerous, and it is understandable that Jialan has concerns. This time I will go with Qin Ying, and I will give you a more important task to ensure that others will not make irresponsible remarks. During the time we are out, you have to reorganize the twelve guards in the Cloud Palace, and you must reunite your combat power in the shortest possible time. By the way, rearrange all kinds of people in the cloud palace, isolate all suspicious people, and arrange a review when I come back. ”
Lin Bai clenched his hands into fists, and the feelings in his heart couldn't be said for a while.
Zhuo Hua waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, do your errands well." ”
Then he pointed to the broken porcelain bowl on the ground and said, "You go and explain it to Zhuo Yun yourself! ”
"What's so hard about that! I'll buy another set to compensate her. Lin Bai's face was full of joy and said nonchalantly.
"This is Xiao Yu'er's own fire, you can't buy it anywhere!" Zhuo Hua's voice floated outside the empty hall.
"Trick me every time!" Lin Bai muttered, using his toes to gather the broken porcelain pieces together one by one, but with a smile on his face.
The main hall is still brightly lit, and the star monarchs of the four palaces above the eighth rank are all gathered here tonight, and the plan to go to the Nine Heavens New Star will be made tonight, and everyone is not willing to slack off. fate
Qin Ying just asked people to add two starlight dragon balls to the top of the main hall, this kind of dragon ball is similar to the Cangyue pearl, absorbing the essence of the golden sun during the day, and releasing a soft light at night.
Originally, this dragon ball was a crystallization in the body of the Kunpeng Sea Dragon Clan, and when the dragon grew old, it would be excreted from the body and buried in the deep sea trench. Because of the perennial immersion in the essence of the dragon, coupled with the blessing of the dragon clan's original cultivation of the immortal clan's mental method, the dragon balls that are discharged from the body will more or less glow. This kind of dragon ball is rare in the world, and the monarchs of major countries or the world's big businessmen will occasionally have an egg-sized one, which can be described as the treasure of the world, and there are folk rumors that bathing in the light of dragon balls for a long time will make people immortal, and the spring and autumn will last forever, making the world more flocking.
can be like these starlight dragon balls the size of watermelons in the cloud palace, and they are the only ones who search the three continents and four oceans.
In the battle of the ancients, the dragon clan was defeated, and in order to show his sincerity of submission, the old dragon king dedicated all the treasures of the entire dragon clan to the Genting Heavenly Palace, a total of 12.
"It's like this at night, and with more Dragon Balls, you always feel like you can't see clearly. The ghost golden sheep said behind Qin Ying.
Qin Ying nodded, looked up at the three dragon balls hanging above the dome of the main hall, and then looked down at the void map on the table, and shook his head.
"Let's just see!" Zhuo Hua's voice sounded behind him.
Everyone stopped discussing and turned back to greet him in unison.
Zhuo Hua strode towards the main hall, and walked straight to the void map on the central long table.
"Yuanshang, why don't you use the Xuanhuang mirror to cast the map, so that everyone can stand and look at it comfortably, and it will be clear and clear. Qin Ying asked softly in Zhuo Hua's ear.
Zhuo Hua shook his head and said: "In this way, the essence that needs to be consumed is too huge, and now the reserves of the Cloud Palace are less than thirty percent, and in the future, the limited essence can only be placed where it is most needed, and this kind of lighting thing will be replaced by Dragon Ball." ”
Now that Zhuo Hua had spoken, the others stopped talking and began to look at the map intently.
"How? You discussed it just now, can you make a plan?" Zhuo Hua asked the crowd.
"Yuan Jun!" Niu Jinniu, the new palace master of Xuanwu Palace, replied loudly: "Wei Chen thinks that it is really inappropriate to go to the Nine Heavens New Star after resting in the adjacent void. ”
"Oh, what's wrong? ”
Niu Taurus pointed to a remote location in the picture with his big hand, and said to everyone: "This is the adjacent void, 40,000 miles away from here, very close, and we have been operating there for some years, and the rich material reserves can provide perfect supplies for the army." It stands to reason that this is the first base to go forward and recuperate. ”
He paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and continued: "However, this morning, the Star Monarch of the Qin Heavenly Prison came to report that there were some unusual twists and turns in the Adjacent Void today, coupled with the existence of the rebellion in the Adjacent Void all along, I have reason to suspect that the Secret Crafts will make some moves here. This expedition is a major stake, and it must be well planned. ”
Kang Jinlong objected: "Over the years, the Qinglong Palace has been adjacent to the Void, and the monarch we have supported has fully supported our Cloud Palace, as for the armed forces of those rebels, they are very primitive and backward. I've fought them a few times, and almost all of them broke up in a single round, and their counter-attacks were so inefficient that they were like scratching their boots. ”
"What if they get secret support from the Devil?" said the Ox Taurus argued.
"The regular army has been defeated by us, do you still need to be afraid of those rabble?" Kang Jinlong scoffed at Niu Jinniu's concerns.
Zhuo Hua listened to their conversation and looked up at Lin Bai and Qin Ying: "What about the opinions of the two of you?"
Qin Ying pointed his finger at the Neighboring Void and said, "Recently, our spies sent a secret letter from the Neighboring Void saying that there have indeed been several unusual celestial changes here, and based on the information they have gathered, it should be some kind of twist. But it is not known who exactly came here and how many people came. ”
"So what, I want a conclusion!" Zhuo Hua looked up at Qin Ying and asked.
"Therefore, my suggestion is to have the monarch of the neighboring Void organize an army to transport all the supplies we need to the Barren Void ten thousand miles away from the neighboring Void, where we can receive the supplies. ”
Yu Heishi waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, so won't the army have to run more than 10,000 miles." Besides, how could the strength of the Adjacent Void organize such a large convoy of convoys? Don't forget, that great battle killed all their Heavenly Tribulation masters. ”
"Then let's go to the adjacent void and get supplies and leave, without stopping for a moment. The arrival time was realized without telling anyone, just asking them to load everything onto the ship. As soon as we arrive, we will be able to set off immediately. Lin Bai looked at everyone and said.
Yu Heishi nodded: "I will bring more people to escort the team transporting grain and grass, even if someone attacks the team at this time, it will be in a hurry, and we will not suffer too much loss." ”
At this time, Yu Changsheng, who had been holding back for a long time, stood behind Yu Heishi, stretched out a head tremblingly, and asked, "Boy, I have a doubt in my heart, I don't know whether to ask or not. ”
Zhuo Hua stared at Yutu without looking at him, but just said one word: "Ask!"
"In fact, in my opinion, the safest plan is to set off directly from our void with supplies, without any stops in between, wouldn't this be foolproof?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other, laughed and did not speak.
Lan Sheng patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder and explained to him, "Let me tell you a story, after listening to this story, you will know why you have to go to the Void Neighbors." ”
