Volume 1 The Most Ruthless Phoenix, Chapter 10 Doubts
Everyone followed the crowd to the bottom of the list, only to hear the announcement of the small official read aloud: "According to the order of the king of the Yan Kingdom, the northern states are now plagued by the beasts of the opening mountains, and the king is sympathetic to the people of Li, and the people of the nine towns in the north have moved south. Now recruit warriors to kill the evil beast, if you can remove the northern beast patients, a reward of thousands of gold, and seal ten thousand households. ”
After finishing speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and a white-clothed scholar praised him: "Reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand marquis, the glory and wealth of this life is here!" A white-bearded old man next to him said: "Young man, don't dream of yellow sorghum, don't be rich and noble, but lose your life." I heard that it was the pioneer beast who made trouble in the frontier this time. Your little body is not as good as this beast's charge. Although the scholar in white was not convinced, he also knew that he was wrong, pouted his lips, and stopped talking.
Lao Jiao turned his head sideways and whispered to Zhuo Hua: "Yuanshang, a beast like the Mountain Beast, although it is powerful and has amazing destructive power, it is timid by nature, and it has lived in the desolate land of the north for a long time on weekdays, so it will not attack the border towns for no reason."
Zhuo Hua nodded, and said to Jiao Mujiao: "Old Jiao, this matter is not as simple as it seems, no matter what the reason behind it, saving the people from fire and water is a top priority, you go and take down the list of documents, let's find out." Lao Jiao smiled, jumped onto the high platform, and after saluting the little official, he stretched out his hand to remove the list under the intricate gaze of everyone.
The officials sounded the gong and opened the way, and the people surrounded them and came to the palace. The king set up a banquet in the main hall to entertain Zhuo Hua and them, and the king took Lao Jiao's hand with a smile on his face, a strong man on the left and a hero on the right shouted. But whenever he made eye contact with Zhuo Hua, he deliberately avoided it. Behind the monarch stood a woman, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Wearing a golden jade seven Zhai crown, wearing a gold embroidered cloud and phoenix coat, holding a jade gui, a bright and moving princess dress.
Sure enough, the monarch introduced the woman to them after Lao Jiao's greetings. "Heroes, this is the eldest princess of the widow, and her title is Guangping. The crowd said in unison, "See the princess." Princess Guangping smiled and said: "You are gods and warriors, I hope that this trip can get rid of the evil beasts and protect the health of my people." Lao Jiao clenched his fists and said: "I am a big family in the northern border town, surnamed Lin Mingbai, and now I came to the capital with the head of the family in the event of a beast disaster, and I care about my relatives at home, and I should do my best to get rid of the beast plague for the monarch, and I will never give up." “
Princess Guangping looked at Lin Bai with affection, although this old Jiao has spent tens of thousands of spring and autumn seasons, but his face is still twenty-five or six, and although the Jiao clan is not as noble as the dragon clan, but the old Jiao was also a dragon clan before, and he is also the head of the spirit beast.
At this time, the princess said loudly: "Heroes, please wait a moment, you are all pillars of the country, please allow this palace to set up a banquet at the city gate for the kings to practice."
Outside the north gate of Xunyang, the princess practiced for them, and when the toast came to Lao Jiao, the princess said softly to Lao Jiao: "Lin Gongzi should be very careful when he goes, if the beast is strong, don't be rash. Lao Jiao bowed down and said, "Thank you Princess Guangping, the grass people should do their best."
Zhuo Hua rode on his horse, looked back at the princess on the city tower and gradually moved away, and teased Lao Jiao: "I said Lin Gongzi, you, a high-ranking family in the north, may want to be the concubine of this Yan country!"
"Yes! Qin Ying echoed with a smile in the carriage, "You see that this princess looks at Lao Jiao differently, and her eyes are full of a thousand words!" Zhuo Yun poked her head out of the carriage, looked at Jiaomu Jiao, then looked back at Jing Mu Jiao, and said categorically: "I think the Lin Palace Lord is quite a good match for that Guangping princess." Su Xin's voice came from behind: "Then you have to ask our Lin Palace Master what he thinks." Another burst of laughter came from the carriage.
Zhuo Hua looked back at Lao Jiao, this guy's face was blue and red for a while, and he was silent all the way, and finally couldn't hold it back at this time, turned the horse's head, and said to them: "I'm going to cut off that princess and monarch now, and see if you have anything else to say." Zhuo Hua laughed, stretched out his hand and grabbed his reins, "Okay, Lao Jiao, it's important to get down to business."
Su Xin stuck her head out of the carriage and said sarcastically: "Yes, Yuan Shang will give you a step and go down quickly, we all know that you are reluctant to give up that princess!" There was another burst of laughter, Jiaomu Jiao's face was flushed with anger, "Yuan Shang, these women are really noisy, one Qin Ying was enough to be spicy before, and now there are so many more."
Everyone laughed and scolded all the way, but they didn't feel that the journey was long, and they had arrived at the valley of Duyan Mountain in a few days.
Jiaomu Jiao sat on his Red Cloud Beast, and behind him sat the frightened Zhuo Yun, he patted his chest and said, "Yuan Shang rest assured." He turned back to Zhuo Yun and said, "Yun'er, don't be afraid, my riding skills are the best in the Heavenly Palace, and I am very stable." With that, with a flick of the reins, the Red Cloud Beast soared into the air, straight into the depths of the clouds and mist, and disappeared without a trace.
Jing Muqian raised his head and looked at Lao Jiao's distant back, and said to Zhuo Hua, "Are you sure I will go alone?" I nodded, looked at Su Xin, who was already sitting down behind me, and said, "This is a good opportunity, I just happened to teach Su Xin how to use True Qi to resist the wind of Tiangang." Jing Mu Qian snorted, glanced at Zhuo Hua, and drove her colorful Vermilion Bird to fly high.
Zhuo Hua patted the hookah cloud horse under his crotch, this horse is very familiar with human nature, hissed, the wind under the hoof, whistling.Zhuo Hua turned back to Su Xin and said: "Xin'er, you gather your true qi around your body now, and after a while, you will encounter the wind of Tiangang, this wind is the strongest force in the void, which helps your true qi to condense." Su Xin said "yes", and silently began to exercise the True Qi Body.
After half a day of searching to no avail, Zhuo Hua looked back and saw that Su Xin was almost unable to support it, so he pressed the head of Yanyunju and landed in a nearby valley. Zhuo Hua nodded.
Her outstretched hand stopped, took it back again, shook her head and said, "The fairy told me before that relying on these pills will only temporarily increase the efficiency of the Qi Concentration Bead, but her own qi absorption ability has not improved, only by relying on her own cultivation to restore her true qi will she be able to consolidate her foundation and condense her true qi more purely." Zhuo Hua silently took back the porcelain vase, nodded and said, "She always said this about me before, saying that I was obsessed with strange tricks and tricks. This elixir is just speeding up the speed at which you can transform the essence of the golden sun into true qi, and it is not cheating.
At this moment, a firework exploded in the air, looking very thin in the sunset.Su Xin asked puzzledly: "Who set off this firework in this wilderness?" Zhuo Hua looked up at the fireworks that gradually dissipated in the air, turned around and stepped onto the flowing water smoke cloud horse, and beckoned to Su Xin: "Come up, this is the gathering signal of the Cloud Palace, they have found the mountain beast."
After a while, they came to the meeting place, Lao Jiao signaled to lower his body, not to alarm the mountain beast. They hid in the dense forest, slowly following the giant beast in front of them. This mountain beast, ten zhang tall, twelve zhang long, has an axe-shaped head horn on its head, when angry, the force of the collision can smash the boulder, so it has the name of the mountain.
Qin Ying asked in a low voice, "What did Yuan Shang find?" Zhuo Hua calmed down and whispered, "It was injured by the weapons of the Dark Clan." As soon as these words came out, Lin Bai and Qin Ying suddenly stopped, and quickly followed them. The Darklings have come to our Void?" Qin Ying asked with a trembling voice.Zhuo Hua shook his head and said, "It's not the killer of the Dark Clan, it should be done by the Pu people, and the traces of the wound should not be cultivated high, and it hasn't passed the Little Heavenly Tribulation."
It didn't take long for them to follow the mountain beast to Honglu Pass.The giant beast began to desperately hit the city wall, the city wall was already full of holes, and many places seemed to be repaired.This Honglu Pass is an important military fortress in the north of Yan Kingdom, the city wall is strong, but it still can't resist the impact of the mountain beast, and after a few times, the city wall has collapsed more than two feet.Zhuo Hua heard the wailing of the soldiers in the city, and he couldn't bear it, so he said to the horned wooden Jiao: "Old Jiao, you go and drive this mountain beast away, remember not to hurt its life."
Lao Jiao got the order, jumped up, soared in the air, luck was really angry, first used three qi swords to force back the giant beast, three pillars of light flashed, and there were three more scorched pits on the giant beast's body, and the smoke was swirling. Later, he used the magnetic halo to lift a thousand catties of boulder in the air, and smashed it straight to the softest ribs of the mountain beast.
Seeing the giant beast fleeing, the defenders of Honglu Pass and the people cheered, and suddenly the city gate opened, and the first military general led everyone out to welcome them into the city.
